Words by A.A. Le Gros (1840-1877)
Music by Kit Ashton

lyrics

Né vai-tu pon la veuve tchi plieuthe
Et l'orphélîn tchi reste sans d'meuthe?
I' faut qu'tu sais bein endueurchi.
Le pouôrre médgian tchi frappe à t'n us,
Mouothant dé faim, n'en est pon d'mus,
Tu n'as ni pitchi ni mèrci.

Rapinne, rapinne, rapinne acouo!
Aguène, aguène, comme un pouôrre fo!
En jouithas-tu auprès la mort?

L'or est san dgieu, l'argent s'n idole,
Tout sentiment i' lus înmole
Sus sén autel en sacrifice:
La maîndre chose lî fait trînmeu;
I' n'peut dormi ni niet ni jeu,
Dé peux qué nou n'les ravisse.

Rapinne, rapinne, rapinne acouo!
Aguène, aguène, comme un pouôrre fo!
En jouithas-tu auprès la mort?

Nou dit qué san fis Nicolas
Tch'en héthit'ta à san trépas,
Va dêjà pus vite qué ses j'vaux;

Rapinne, rapinne, rapinne acouo!
Aguène, aguène, comme un pouôrre fo!
En jouithas-tu auprès la mort?
