1 listen to this story
That I was told
From the depths of my memory
I'm going to sing it to you
It takes place in Provence
Among the sheep
In the south of France
In the land of santons
In the south of France
In the land of santons.
2 When he came to the estate
There was a beautiful herd
The The stables were full
Of ewes and lambs
Always walking in the lead
At first light
To pull the cart
He put all his heart into .
To pull the cart
He put all his heart into it.
3 At the time of transhumance
He went away happy
Going up the Durance
Honest and courageous
But one day from Marseille
Some gentlemen came
The farm was very old
So we sold it.
The farm was very old
So we sold it.
4 He stayed in the village
Everyone liked him
Valiant despite his age
And despite © his sorrow
Gospel image
Living in humility
He made himself useful
To the roadmender.
He made himself useful
Near the roadman.
5 This honorable life
One evening ended
In the back of a stable
All alone he is lying
Poor beast of burden
He closed his eyes
Abandoned by men
He died without farewell.
Abandoned by men
He died without farewell.
6 Mmm....
(The first part of the 6th
verse is hummed)
This inglorious song
br/>Told you the story
Told you the story
Of a little gray donkey.
Told you the story
Of a little gray donkey .
