The other day, beneath the shadow
Jules Massenet
The other day, beneath the shadow
A young and handsome shepherd
Remembered his sorrow
With the plaintive echo of the countryside!
Happiness is to be loved tenderly,
But the grief will follow along
And why do you come so slowly
And turn away so fast?
Happiness is to be loved tenderly,
Why, why, turn away so fast?
My shepherdess has forgotten me.
Love, make me die!
When one ceases to cherish us
What a cruel burden is life.
Happiness is to be loved tenderly,
But the grief will follow along
And why do you come so slowly
And turn away so fast?
Happiness is to be loved tenderly,
Why, why, turn away so fast?
