Sus la mountagna  
(On the Mountain)
Nissart lyrics by Joseph Passeron, music by François Mattei.
| 1st verse |
La sourça bagna lou valoun,
L’estiéu tapissa lou gazoun
E la campagna.
Coura lou soulèu va mountà,
O pastre, t’escouti cantà
Sus la mountagna. | | The spring bathes the small valley,
The summer covers small grass
And the country.
When the sun is going to rise,
Oh shepherd, I listen to you singing
On the mountain. |
2nd verse |
Aimes l’agnèu couma l’enfant,
Lou tiéu troupèu, lou brave can
Que t’accoumpagna.
Vers lou ciel blu, tendre, laugié,
Laisses voulà lou tiéu pensié,
Sus la mountagna. | | You love the lamb like [if it was] a child,
Your flock, the good dog
Accompanying you.
To the blue sky, tender, light,
You leave your thought flying,
On the mountain. |
3rd verse |
Ti plas, lou camin roucaïous,
Lou cant dòu merlou paurous
Dins la baragna.
As lou soulèu, l’oumbra dòu pin
E lou sourire dòu matin,
Sus la mountagna. | | You like it, the stony track,
The warbling of the fearful blackbird
In the brushwood.
You have the sun, the shade of the pine tree
And the smile of the morning,
On the mountain. |
4th verse |
Coura s’en va lou jou radious,
Saludes l’astre luminous,
L’esper ti gagna.
Dòu Creatour meravilious
Sentes lou soufle misterious,
Sus la mountagna. | | When is going away the beautiful day,
You salute the luminous star,
Hope is spreading on you.
Of the wonderful Creator
You feel the mysterious blow,
On the mountain. |
