Quand j'étions chez mon père (L'apprenti pastouriau)

Quatre Barbus [Les] Quatre Barbus [Les]

When I Was at My Father's (The Shepherd Apprentice)

When I was at my dad's, a shepherd apprentice,
He put me in the field, to watch the flock.

{Chorus:}
Flock, flock, I hardly had any.
Flock, flock, I barely had a few.

I hardly had any; I only had three lambs
And the wolf from the plains ate the best one.

{Chorus}

He was so greedy; left me just the skin,
Left me just the tail, to put on my hat.

{Chorus}

But from the bones of the beast, he made me a flute
To play at the party, by the light of the fire.

{Chorus}

To make the village dance, under the big elm tree
And the young and the old, with their feet in the mud.
