When I was a young girl I tended the sheep,
Tirouli, Tiroula, Tirouli, Tiroulou
Tirouli, Tiroula, Tirouli, rouli, roule
I never dreamt in solitude upon the mountainside
Tirouli
But other young shepherdesses would talk with me
Tirouli
Sometimes a shepherd would play the musette for our delight
Tirouli
He would play pretty love dances for us
Tirouli
Yet now I am old, and still on my own
Tirouli !
