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.

Pairin... mairina...
(Godfather... godmother...)
Traditional from County of Nice.

A saucy counting rhyme chanted by the children at the end of the christening, in the streets of the village.

Ad libitum
 
Pairin, cougùou,
Qu’a la pàia au cùou !
Mairina, cigala,
La tassa li cala !

Or saucier:

Pairin, cougùou,
La merd’au cùou !
Mairina, cigala,
La merda li cala !

Pairin, cougul,
La sapa au cùou !
Mairina, cigala,
La merda li cala !

A variant:

Pairin rachou,
Pichoun gibous !
 Godfather miserly,
[The] child [will be] hunchbacked!
