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.

Jèsu, vous sias tout fioc e flamo listen the Midi file for this traditional music tune score of this traditional tune
(Jesus, you are burning with enthusiasm)
Lyrics by Nicolas Saboly, known as Micoulau Sabòli. Traditional from Provence.
Tune Siéu pas ama (I’m not loved).

This Christmas carol has been published on 1673 in the 7th book. It appears with number 50 in the Fr. Seguin’s new edition.

1st verse
Jèsu, vous sias tout fioc e flamo,
N’i’a que d’amour dins voste cor;
Vous venès sauva nostes amo
          De la mort.
Certos, aquéu que noun vous amo
          A grand tort.		 Jesus, you are burning with enthusiasm,
There is only love in your heart;
You come and rescue our soul
          From death.
Indeed, the one who doesn’t love you
          Is very wrong.

2nd verse
Vous venès dins aquest terraire
Favourisa lei malurous;
Car qu’es acò que poudian faire
          Sènso vous,
Tan qu’aurian agu voste Paire
          Contro nous?		 You come in this territory
To favour poor wretches;
Because what could we do
          Without you,
As long as we had your Father
          Against us.?

3rd verse
Iéu vesiéu bèn sènso luneto
Que lou cèu n’èro pas dubert,
Que falié louja pèr biheto
          Dins l’infèr,
Encò d’aquéu tiro-meleto
          Lucifer.		 Me, I was well seeing without glasses
That heaven was not opened,
That we had to live with a billet (1)
          In hell,
At home of this gourmand (2),
          Lucifer.

4th verse
Lou desespouer m’aurié fa pèndre,
Coume fè lou traite Judas!
Voste amour vous a fa descèndre
          D’aut en bas;
E pèr iéu sias vengu vous rèndre
          Dins un jas.		 Despair could make me hang,
As did traitor Judas!
Your love makes you come down
          From top to bottom;
And for me you came and live
          In a sheepfold.

5th verse
Vous sarié bèn plus ounourable
Si loujavias dins un palai,
Noun pas louja dins un estable
          Près d’un ai!
Aquel estat si misérable
          Me desplai.		 You could be well more honourable
If you could live in a palace,
Not to live in a cowshed
          Close to a donkey!
This state so seedy
          Displeases me.

6th verse
Vous poudias lança lou tounerro
Pèr abima toutei lei gènt;
Pèsto, ni famino, ni guerro,
          Vous soun rèn!
Mai que pourtés la pas en terro,
          Sias countènt.		 You might throw thunder
To damage all people;
Plague, neither starvation nor war,
          Are nothing for you!
But that you bring peace on earth,
          I’m pleased

1. Louja pèr biheto: billetin with a billet.
2. Tiro-meleto: in the literal, means “sardines thief”.
