Per la miéu dama  
(For my Lady)
Nissart lyrics by Jules Eynaudi, known as Juli Eynaudi, music by Auguste Gilli. Traditional from County of Nice.
| 1st verse |
Se vouòs,
O la miéu bella dama,
M’aimà per un moumen;
Se vouòs,
Ti redirai la gama,
Aqui, passiounamen! | | If you want,
Oh! My beautiful lady,
Love me for a moment;
If you want,
I’ll tell you again the range,
Here, passionately! |
2nd verse |
Se vouòs,
Aneren en campagna
Couma doui amourous;
Se vouòs,
Au païs de Coucagna
Passeren jou urous! | | If you want,
We shall go to the country
As two lovers;
If you want,
To land of milk and honey
We shall spend happy days! |
3rd verse |
Se vouòs,
Aneren en barqueta
Dòu cousta de San-Jouan (1);
Se vouòs,
Si faren de baïeta
Coum’ auguessian vint’ an! | | If you want,
We shall go in small boat
Towards St. Jean;
If you want,
We shall kiss
As if we were twenty! |
4th verse |
Se vouòs,
En la miéu soufieta,
Sensa tròu de cascaï,
Se vouòs,
La miéu bella dameta,
Lou couor ti dounerai! | | If you want,
In my garret,
Without any fuss,
If you want,
My beautiful little lady,
The heart I’ll give you! |
1. San-Jouan: Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
