La Filha Dau Ladre

Mon paire m′a mandat au bósc
Au bósc culhir l'oliva
Dins lo bósc, polit bósc.
Ai tant culhit e reculhit
Que me siáu endormis
Ai tant dormit e redormit
Que la nuech má surpria.
Dins lo bósc, polit bósc.
Vén a passar gai chivalier
Lo bósc vos passariau
Dins lo bósc, polit bósc
Arrier, tirètz – vos chivalier
Prendiatz ma maladia
Dins lo bósc, polit bósc.
Lèu siáu filha d′un ladrier
Nat dins la ladraria
Dins lo bósc, polit bósc
De t'aver vist bèu chivalier
Me castara la vida
Dins lo bósc, polit bós

The Robber's Daughter

My father sent me to the forest
To gather olives in the grove
In the forest, lovely forest.
I gathered so much and picked so much
That I fell asleep
I slept and slept and slept again
Until the night surprised me.
In the forest, lovely forest.
A handsome knight came riding by
And would have passed me on his way
In the forest, lovely forest.
Stop, sir knight – please take
And take my misfortune
In the forest, lovely forest.
I am the daughter of a robber
Born in a den of thieves
In the forest, lovely forest.
Since I have seen your handsome face
My life will be made wretched
In the forest, lovely forest.
