Translation:
Shepherd across the river,
You're hardly having a good time,
Sing baí¯lí¨ro lí¨rí´
No, I'm not,
And you, too, can sing baí¯lí¨ro
Shepherd, the meadows are in bloom.
You should graze your flock on this side,
Sing baí¯lí¨ro lí¨rí´
The grass is greener in the meadows on this side,
baí¯lí¨ro lí¨rí´
Shepherd, the water divides us,
And I can't cross it,
Sing baí¯lí¨ro lí¨rí´
Then I'll come down and find you,
baí¯lí¨ro lí¨rí´
