dear sassycatgirlvouz,
i'm pretty sure you mean Natania Devrath, an israeli opera singer who recorded a double album called "songs of the auvergne" in the mid 1950's - all 19th century native shephard folk songs from the auvergne region, all sung in a french dialect called langue d'oc. Here is a link where you can listen to some of the songs and buy the album, which is extremely beautiful and unlike anything i've ever heard, and i've had it now for going on 30 years.
sorry, don't remember enough french to tell you the translation for lonely shephard. let me know if this was any help!
