Translation:

Shepherd across the river,
You're hardly having a good time,
Sing balro lr
No, I'm not,
And you, too, can sing balro

Shepherd, the meadows are in bloom
You should graze your flock on this side,
Sing balro lr
The grass is greener in the meadows on this side,
balro lr

Shepherd, the water divides us,
And I can't cross it,
Sing balro lr
Then I'll come down and find you,
balro lr
