Margarideta, lèva-te matin,
S'avança la matinada,
Margarideta lèva-te matin,
Te cal pas totjorn dormir
Ieu òc me levariái plan
Se aviái una raubeta,
Ieu òc me levariái plan
Mas de raubeta n'ai pas.
Pèire va a la plaça,
Pèire lèu li'n crompa,
Pèire lèu se'n torna,
Pèire es aquí,
Margarideta lèva-te matin.

But I have no little dress.
