Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj'

This very old song brought to America by our grandparents was sung at many family gatherings. Below is the link and the lyrics in the Franco-Provencal language.

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj'*

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj',
i purtunt' la spaccat' a lu ciappéj'
e s'i allunt' a do e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.

L' figli' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj,

i purtunt' la spaccat' a la unnéll'
e s'i allunt' a di e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.
