The Christmas carol D'où viens-tu, bergère? is traditional popular French carol.
This lovely Christmas carol D'où viens-tu, bergère? consists in a dialogue between a shepherdess and her friends.
The crowd asks the shepherdess where she has been and what she has seen, and she explains to them that she has witnessed a miracle, as she has been to the scene of the Nativity.
The Christmas carol D'où viens-tu, bergère? originated in France, and was sung traditionally in Nouvelle-France.
An English translation exists under the title Whence art thou, my maiden?
It was published in Montreal in 1886 by William McLennan in Songs of Old Canada.
