  • I've heard so many songs

    But I've tired of them all.

    One song alone has stayed with me

    And I can't forget it

    Tirl, tirl, tirl, tirl

    Plays the shpeherd on his flute

    It is the song of Bessarabia,

    Of the shepherd and his sorrow

  • Once there was a young shepherd A child among children Grazing his father's Goats lambs sheep and cows The young shepherd Lost a young sheep Vaulyu, he wept, he lamented. My beloved Bessarabia Land of joy and land of sorrow, When I remember your valleys, How I weep and I mourn
