Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July 2026 they end the hosting service. Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another provider, which means the base URL changes from https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/. The current page can now be found here. |
Son père la cherche partout,
Son père la cherche partout.
Son amoureux qui est en peine.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
"Berger, berger, n'as tu point vu,
Berger, berger, n'as tu point vu,
Passer ici celle que j'aime?"
Laridondon, laridondaine.
"Elle est là-bas dans ce vallon,
Elle est là-bas dans ce vallon,
À un oiseau conte ses peines."
Laridondon, laridondaine.
La bel oiseau s'est envolé,
La bel oiseau s'est envolé,
Et le changrin bien loin emmène.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
Beauty is in the garden of love
Beauty is in the garden of love,
Beauty is in the garden of love.
There she has lain for a month or five weeks.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
Her father seeks her everywhere,
Her father seeks her everywhere.
Her lover is broken-hearted.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
"Shepherd, o shepherd, have you not seen,
Shepherd, o shepherd, have you not seen,
My beloved pass by here?
Laridondon, laridondaine.
"She is down in yonder valley,
She is down in yonder valley,
recounting her woes to a bird."
Laridondon, laridondaine.
The beautiful bird has flown,
The beautiful bird has flown,
And sorrow carries him far away.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
