The spinner
Language: English  after the Occitan
When I was a little [girl],
I tended the sheep.
Ti lirou lirou... la la diri tou tou la lara!
I had a spindle
and I called a shepherd to me.
Ti lirou lirou... la la diri tou tou la lara!
For looking after my flock
He demanded a kiss [each time].
Ti lirou lirou... la la diri tou tou la lara!
And I, not one to be ungrateful,
Instead of one, I gave him two!
Ti lirou lirou... la la diri tou tou la lara!
