El Rey de Francia
Tres hijas tenia
La una lavrava
La otra cuzia

La mas chica de ellas
Bastidor hazia
Lavrando lavrando
Sueno le caia

Su madre que la via
Aharvar la queria
'No m'aharvex mi madre
Ni m'aharvariax

Un sueno me sonava
Bien y alegria'
'Sueno vos sonavax
Yo vo lo soltaria'

M'apari a la puerta
Vide la luna entera
M'apari a la ventana
Vide la estrella Diana

M'apari al pozo
Vide un pilar d'oro
Con tres paxaricos
Picando el oro'

'La luna entera
Es la tu suegra
La estrella Diana
Es la tu cunada

Los tres paxaricos
Son tus cunadicos
Y el pilar d'oro
El hijo del Rey,
Tu novio
