Text & Translation

Ma bergère est tendre et fidèle
French source: Anon.

Ma Bergère est tendre et fidèle,
Mais hélas ! Son amour n’égale pas le mien :
Elle aime son troupeau, sa houlette et son chien,
Et je ne saurais aimer qu’elle.

My shepherdess is tender and faithful
English translation © Oxford Song

My shepherdess is tender and faithful,
But alas! Her love does not equal mine:
She loves her flock, her crook, and her dog,
While I can love only her.

Ma Bergère est tendre et fidèle,
My shepherdess is tender and faithful,
Mais hélas ! Son amour n’égale pas le mien :
But alas! Her love does not equal mine:
Elle aime son troupeau, sa houlette et son chien,
She loves her flock, her crook, and her dog,
Et je ne saurais aimer qu’elle.
While I can love only her.
