Occitan traditional song
1. Dejós de ma fenèstra
I a un aucelon
Tota la nuèch canta
canta sa cançon.
Refrain
Se canta que cante
Canta pas per ieu
Canta per ma mia
Qu'es al luènh de ieu.
2. Aquelas montanhas
Que tan nautas son
M'empachan de veire
Mas amors ont son.
Refrain
3. Baissatz-vos montanhas
Planas, levatz-vos
Per que pòsque veire
Mas amors ont son.
Refrain
4. Aquelas montanhas
Lèu s'abaissaràn
E mas amoretas
Se raprocharàn.
Refrain
French translation
1. Sous ma fenêtre
Il y a un oiselet
Toute la nuit il chante,
Chante sa chanson
Refrain
S'il chante, qu'il chante,
Il ne chante pas pour moi,
Il chante pour ma mie
Qui est loin de moi.
2. Ces montagnes
Qui sont si hautes,
M'empêchent de voir
Où sont mes amours.
Refrain
3. Baissez-vous, montagnes,
Plaines, dressez-vous,
Pour que je puisse voir
Où sont mes amours.
Refrain
4. Ces montagnes
S'abaisseront bientôt,
Et mes amours
Se rapprocheront.
