Les cloches du hameau [English translation]

The bells of the hamlet

Sing in the countryside

The sound of the chalumeau1

Brightens up the mountain

One hears, one hears

The shepherds, the shepherds

Singing in the meadows

These refrains so light

That charm their friends

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la

It's time to return

And the young shepherdess

Seeing the end of the day,

Reaches her cottage

One hears, one hears

The shepherds, the shepherds

Singing in the meadows

These refrains so light

That charm their friends

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la

While on the rocks

The storm is battering

Around the old hearth

They sing joyously

One hears, One hears

The shepherds, the shepherds

Singing in the meadows

These refrains so light

That charm their friends

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la

Tra la la, tra la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la
