Shepherd across the river,

You're hardly having a good time,

Sing baïlèro lèrô

No, I'm not,

And you, too, can sing baïlèro

Shepherd, the meadows are in bloom.

You should graze your flock on this side,

Sing baïlèro lèrô

The grass is greener in the meadows on this side,

Baïlèro lèrô

Shepherd, the water divides us,

And I can't cross it,

Sing baïlèro lèrô

Then I'll come down and find you,

Baïlèro lèrô
