Il pleut, il pleut bergère, by Fabre d’Églantine
Il pleut, il pleut, bergère (It’s raining, shepherdess) is a French song taken from the operetta Laure et Pétrarque, written in 1780 by Fabre d’Églantine. The music was written by Louis-Victor Simon.
The shepherdess to which the song can refer to the French queen Marie Antoinette who loved to play the shepherdess in the Hameau de la reine of the Palace of Versailles. The rain and the storm coming could be an allusion to the troubles that led to the French Revolution.
