1st verse |
Au soubran d’una couòla Emplida d’óulivié, Lou soulèu endaura San-Rouman-de-Belet. La souca li es mestressa En milanta plantié, La terra n’es proumessa Per faire un vin princié. | | At the top of a hill Filled with olive trees, The sun tinges with gold Saint-Roman-de-Bellet. The [vine] stock is main there By numerous plants, The soil is destined For a princely wine. |
Chorus |
Vin de Belet, lou tiéu renoum A passat lou terraire. Vin de Belet, embé rasoun Cadun lauda lou tiéu noum. Vin de Belet, cada sesoun Au tiéu gust fen óumage. En cada luèc, cada cantoun Si vuèlhon gòtou fin au founs. | | Wine from Bellet, your renown Has gone past the land. Wine from Bellet, with reason Everyone praises your name. Wine from Bellet, each season To your taste is paid tribute. In each place, each corner The glasses are emptied to the very bottom. |
2nd verse |
Lou jou de la vendemia L’óudour dòu moust es rèi. Lou raìn, sensa pena, Devendrà de vin vièlh. Li crota soun garnidi De bouta, boutarèu, E li tini emplidi D’aquèu bouòn jus nouvèu. | | On grape harvest day The smell of the must is queen. The grape, easily, Will become old wine. The cellars are covered By barrels, kegs, And the vats filled With this good new juice. |
3rd verse |
Una fes en la crota, Estramudat e clar, Aquèu vin cerca fouòrça, Coulour, gust, nectar. Lu boutarèu soun gounfle E semblon asperà D’aquèu jou lou triounfle Coura si tasterà. | | Once in the cellar, Decanted and clear, This wine seeks strength, Colour, taste, nectar. The casks are swelled And seem to wait Of this day the triumph When it will be tasted. |
