Traditional from County of Nice.

Song of the conscripts from Nice.

See also Adieu, papa, adieu, maman.

Parterai, parterai pas,
Qu sau se parterai, se m’en retournerai ?
Lu counscrit d’aquest an soun pichin ma soun mandian.
Oi, Catin, noun ti ploura, noun ti ploura, noun ti ploura,
Oi, Catin, noun ti ploura,
Que bessai parterai pas.		 I’ll leave, I’ll not,
Who knows if I’ll leave, if I’ll come back?
The conscripts from this year are small but are beggar (1).
Oh, Katherine, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry,
Oh, Katherine, don’t cry,
Perhaps I’ll not leave.

1. Meaning cunning, shrewd.
