THE herdsmen of the Colombettes
At the dawn of day have risen;
Ha ah! ha ah!
Cows, cows! to the milking come!
Come here all of you,
White and black ones,
Red and brindled,
Young ones, old ones,
Under this oak-tree,
Where I will milk you,
Under this poplar,
Where I will drain you!
Cows, cows! to the milking come!
