LOU PAURE SATAN ES BLET
(Provençal lyrics)

Lou paure Satan es blet
S'en va cuehct* comm'un poulet
Mourra de la macaduro
Turo luro luro
Mourra de la macaduro
Lan tan turo luro luro

L'enfant que n'es arribat
L'a quasi commo crebat
L'a mes en pauro posturo
Turo luro luro
Parestra plus qu'en pinturo
Lan tan turo luro luro

Fasie trop lou suffisen
Disie que non cregnie ren
May aquesto cachaduro
Turo luro luro
L'ya bailla de tablaturo
Lan tan turo luro luro

Eou fasie lou gran seignour
Se disie diable dhonnour
A mordu une pomme dure
Turo luro luro
D'une pomme mau maduro
Lan tan turo luro luro

May diou que lou cogney ben
Et que sau que non vou ren
Ven prendre nostro naturo
Turo luro luro
Per repara aquello iniuro
Lan tan turo luro luro
Notre-Dame des Doms Carol 2-9
POOR SATAN IS OVERRIPE
(English translation)

Poor Satan is drained,
He's cooked(1) like a chicken,
He'll die from the wound,
Turo luro luro,
He'll die from the wound
Lan tan turo luro luro.

The child who's just arrived
Nearly killed him,
He put him in poor situation,
Turo luro luro,
He'll appear only in paintings (2),
Lan tan turo luro luro.

He was being too self-important,
He was saying he feared nothing
But this blow
Turo luro luro,
Has given him some trouble
Lan tan turo luro luro.

He was acting as a great lord,
He called himself devil of honor,
He bit a hard apple
Turo luro luro,
An ill ripened apple,
Lan tan turo luro luro.

But God who knows him well
And knows that he's worthless
Comes to assume our nature,
Turo luro luro,
To mend this insult,
Lan tan turo luro luro.
* No, it's no mistake or typo of mine!
1 "cuèch"= "cooked, done, baked" also means exhausted and allows this play on words.
2 idiom: to see someone (only) on paintings means not to see him at all.
Nadalet de Notre-Dame des Doms 2-9
LO PAURE SATAN ES BLET
(Provençal lyrics, classical norm)

Lo paure Satan es blet
Se'n va cuèch coma un polet,
Morrà de la macadura,
Tura lura lura,
Morrà de la macadura,
Lan tan tura lura lura.

L'enfant que n'es arribat
L'a quasi coma crebat
L'a mes en paura postura
Tura lura lura,
Pareitrà plus qu'en pintura,
Lan tan tura lura lura.

Fasiá tròp lo sufisent
Disiá que non crenhiá ren
Mai aquesta cachadura,
Tura lura lura
Li a balhat de tablatura,
Lan tan tura lura lura.

Eu fasiá lo grand senhor,
Se disiá diable d'onor,
A mordut una poma dura,
Tura lura lura
D'una poma mau madura,
Lan tan tura lura lura.

Mai Dieu que lo coneis ben
E que sap que non vau ren
Ven prendre nòstra natura,
Tura lura lura
Per reparar aquela injura
Lan tan tura lura lura.
Noël de Notre-Dame des Doms 2-9
LE PAUVRE SATAN EST BLET
(Singable French version)

Le pauvre Satan est blet,
Il est cuit comme un poulet,
Il mourra d' la meurtrissure,
Ture lure lure,
Il mourra d' la meurtrissure,
Lan tan ture lure lure.

L'enfant qui est arrivé
L'a pratiquement crevé,
L'a mis en pauvre posture,
Ture lure lure,
Il n' paraîtra qu'en peinture,
Lan tan ture lure lure.

Il faisait trop le malin,
Disait qu'il ne craignait rien,
Mais ce coup dans la figure,
Ture lure lure,
Lui a donné d' la tablature,
Lan tan ture lure lure.

Il faisait le grand seigneur,
Il s' disait diable d'honneur,
A mordu une pomme dure,
Ture lure lure,
Une pomme trop peu mûre,
Lan tan ture lure lure.

Mais Dieu qui le connaît bien
Et qui sait qu'il ne vaut rien
Vient prendre notre nature,
Ture lure lure,
Pour réparer cette injure,
Lan tan ture lure lure.
