Translated lyrics
Hi, little goats, come here uqickly I will now sing you a pretty song: It begins with a shepherd and a girl that bewitched him Hi, little goats, hear what happened: The shepherd was once cheerful and lively Now he is sad, does not glance at hte sheep, but yearns for the girl who bewitched him.
