Nightingale, that flies to France, nightingale, give my love to my mother, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight. Please give my love to my mother, nightingale, but not much to my father, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight. For he imposed me to marry, nightingale, giving me to a shepherd, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight. He makes me guard the flock, nightingale, and I have lost the bellwether, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight. I have nothing to reward you with, nightingale, nothing but a kiss and a hug, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight. Nightingale, that flies to France, nightingale, give my love to my mother, nightingale, from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
