Pastorale

One day in the Springtime

as they walked in the valley,

Colin sang a song

to express his desire:

Shepherdess, oh shepherdess,

Oh tra la la (bis)

Please allow, grant me this,

may I now steal a kiss?

She then in reply

answered him in this way:

You wish, says your song,

to take something of mine.

No, Colin. No, Colin,

tra la la (bis)

Would you dare steal a kiss?

Could I be so remiss?

No, Colin. You will not steal it.

For I'll give it away to you!
