Lorsque j'étais jeunette, je gardais les moutons, Tirouli, tiroula, tirouli, tiroulou, Tirouli, tiroula, tirouli, rouli, roule. N'étais jamais seulette à songer par les monts. Tirouli . . . Mais d'autres bergerettes avec moi devisaient. Tirouli . . . Parfois de sa musette un berger nous charmait. Tirouli . . . Il nous faisait des rondes, joli' rondes d'amour. Tirouli . . . Mais me voilà vieille, reste seule toujours. Tirouli!

When I was a young girl, I used to herd sheep, Tirouli, tiroula, tirouli, tiroulou, Tirouli, tiroula, tirouli, rouli, roule. I was never left alone to dream in the mountains Tirouli... For the other shepherdesses would chat with me. Tirouli... Sometimes a shepherd would charm us with a musette. Tirouli... He would play us circle-dances, pretty rounds of love. Tirouli... But now I'm old, I am always alone. Tirouli...
