lyrics Fai anà (Let do go on) - Traditional song from carnival of Nice

D’argent à une aigle de gueules, au vol abaissé, membrée, becquée et couronnée d’or, empiétant une montagne de trois coupeaux de sable issant d’une mer d’azur mouvant de la pointe et ondée d’argent.

First page of the music sheet for Fai anà, illustration by P.E. Vayrolatti, éd. Delrieu frères, 1923.	1^st verse
	Nissa si revìa Dintre d’un beù giou E lou souleu brìa, Endaura li siéu flou ! La foula cansouna, Fà gran bacanal E lou siel courouna Lou rei dai carneval !	Nice wakes up In a beautiful day And the sun shines, It tinges the flowers with gold! The crowd hums, It makes great bacchanalia And the sky crowns King of Carnival!
	Chorus
	Preparen, Allumen Lu calen, Fai anà ! Troumbounen, Clerounen De refren, Fai anà ! Sourien, Caressen, Pessughen, Fai anà ! Ciaüten E sauten, Pi criden : Fai anà !	Let’s prepare, Let’s light The oil lamps, Let do go on! Let’s trombon, Let’s trumpet Tunes, Let do go on! Let’s smile, Let’s caress, Let’s stick, Let do go on! Let’s create uproar, And let’s jump, Then let’s shout: Let do go on!
	2^nd verse
	Ah ! Che saturnala ! Bousin infernal, Visioun ideala, Fan sautà Carneval ! Es una merveja. Eù, ven plen d’ardou Su lou cours Saleya En brave pescadou.	Ah! What a saturnalia! Infernal racket, Ideal vision, They make Carnival jump! It’s a marvel. He, he comes full of enthusiasm On the Course Saleya ⁽¹⁾ As a good fisherman.
	3^rd verse
	Cadun crida, toumba, Che d’estounamen ! Lou gran rei reboumba Soubre touti li gen ! Ma d’un « vira-vira », Per lu amusà, Au soun d’una lira Lu farà toui dansà !	Everybody shouts, falls down, What an amazement! The great king bounces On all the people! But with a “turn-turn”, To amuse them, At the sound of a lyre He will make all of them dance!
