Quand l'Erau crèbo avans Toussant, [/] Crèbo nòu cop de l'an
Language or variety: 
Occitan
Literal translation: 

Cuando el Herault se desborda antes de Todos los Santos, [/] Se desborda nueve veces en el año

Comments: 

Podría tratarse de una provenzalización de un refrán languedociano, teniendo en cuenta que hace referencia al río Erau. En este caso, pues, la versión normativa sería: Quand l'Erau crèba abans Totsants, [/] Crèba nòu còps de l'an.
