Bailero variations for clarinet and guitar - live performance (mp3)

Details

The original song's lyrics are in the Auvergnat dialect. It starts with the shepherd from the other side of the hill recalling the good times and singing 'baïlèro lèro'. The song continues with the sentiment of longing and repeats 'baïlèro lèro.' The next verse describes the shepherd's pasture blooming and urges to round up the flock, harmonizing 'baïlèro lèro.' The song then compares the grass to be finer in today's pasture and again resonates 'baïlèro lèro.' The lyrics conclude with the shepherd going out to a dance in the evening.
