Ound Onoren
in which the shepherd asks his shepherdess sweetheart where they should go to feed their flocks this beautiful morning.
Original words (in Auvergnat)
Ound' onorèn gorda, pitchouno droouleto?
Ound' onorèn gorda lou troupel pèl moti?
Onorèn obal din lou ribèirèto, din lou pradel l'erb è fresquèto.
Païsaren loï fèdoï pèlloï flours.
Al loun del tsour nous forons l'omour!
Ogatso louï moutous, pitchouno droouleto, ogatso louï moutous lèï obilhé maï nous.
Ogatso loï fedoï qué païssou l'erbo, è lèïs obilhé qué païssou lou flours,
naôtres pitchouno qué sound'aïma.

My English singing version:
Where shall we go to feed all our flocks this morning?
Where shall we go, my pretty one, oh tell me where?
Let us go down to the side of the river,
In that green meadow the grass is so fresh
We'll graze our flocks there among the flowers
and love will reign all the livelong day!
Oh look at all the sheep now my darling
Oh look at all the sheep and the bees and us two
See the sheep as they graze the meadow's grasses
and humming bees as they feed from the flowers
But we, my darling, we love all the time
And love will feed us with pleasure pure!
