Vèni d’oousi  
(I have just heard)
Lyrics by Antoine Maurel. Traditional from Provence.
Incidental music for the Provençal pastoral by Antoine Maurel.
| Chorus |
Vèni d’oousi,
Su lei coulino,
Un chan poulí,
De vouas divino.
Vèni d’oousi
Un chan poulí,
De vouas divino,
Que m’an ravi. | | I have just heard,
On the hills,
A pleasant song,
Divine voices,
I have just heard
A charming song,
Divine voices,
That delighted me. |
1st verse |
Tant dous ramagi
Que m’enchanta,
Vouestre lengagi,
Din lou villagi
S’es repeta.
Aou grand messagi
Qu’avès crida,
Lei roumavagi
Si soun fourma.
Ai moun bagagi
Tout prepara,
Tout prepara
Per lou vouyagi.
Farai hooumagi
Aou nouveou na
Que dien tant sagi. | | Such a sweet warbling
That delights me,
Your language,
In the village,
Is being repeated.
At great message
You have shouted me,
The pilgrimages
Have gathered.
I have my luggage
Prepared,
Prepared
For the journey:
I’ll pay homage
To newborn child
Said so wise. |
2nd verse |
Din la campagno,
Moueri de frei.
L’esfrai mi gagno
D’estre soulet,
Senso coumpagno.
Dieou tout puissant !
Degun m’entende,
La poou mi rende
Coumo un enfan.
Douço esperanço,
Aousi de bru,
Oh ! Ben ségu
Quaouqu’un s’avanço ;
L’ami Noura
Ver ieou s’empresso.
Soun alegresso
M’a rassura. | | In the country,
I’m freezing to death.
Dread is creeping over me
To be alone,
Without company.
Almighty God!
Nobody hears me,
Fear makes me
As a child.
Sweet hope,
I’m hearing noise,
O! Of course
Somebody is advancing,
The friend Honoré
Toward me is hastening;
His elation
Has reassured me. |
