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.

Nisskiri Official song of the carnival of Nice 1924

First page of the music sheet for Nisskiri, illustration by J.K. Bouchon, éd. Paul Decourcelle.		 1st verse               
Sighen en foulìa,
Canten Carneval,
Reï de l’alegrìa
E prince daï foual !
Es ben fresc e roujé,
Sembla lou printen,
Che cadun si boujé, (twice)
Saùten e canten ! (twice)		 Let’s be crazy,
Let’s sing Carnival,
King of elation
And prince of fools!
He is well fresh and red,
He seems spring,
Let everybody move, (twice)
Let’s jump and sing! (twice)

Chorus               
Mette lou couor en festa
E fa perdre la testa,
Lou nouastre reï bouffoun,
Mitan gip e cartoun !
Ah ! Ah ! Li plas de rire !
Ah ! Ah ! E laissà dire !
Viva lou baccanal !
E viva Carneval ! (twice)		 He puts our heart festive
And makes lose our head,
Our farcical king,
Half plaster and half cardboard!
Ah! Ah! He likes laughing!
Ah! Ah! And let talk!
Hurrah for the bacchanalia!
And long live Carnival! (twice)

2nd verse               
De Nissa la bella
Ch’es lou siou bijou,
Toujou si rapela,
Li reven toujou !
A pena desbarca
Su lou nouastre soual,
Lou joïous monarca (twice)
N’en rende toui foual ! (twice)		 Of Nice the beautiful
That is his jewel,
Always he remembers,
Always he comes back there!
No sooner had he landed
On our soil,
The merry monarch (twice)
Makes all of us crazy! (twice)

3rd verse               
Foual de touta sorta,
Giouve couma vieï,
Faghen toui escorta
À l’alègre reï.
De la siou Altessa
Scouten lou desi ;
À bas la sajessa, (twice)
Viva lou plesi ! (twice)		 Madmen of all kinds,
Young as well as old,
Let’s escort
The cheerful king.
Of His Highness
Let’s listen the wish;
Down with wisdom, (twice)
Hurrah for pleasure! (twice)
