They lyrics in the opening intro are written/sang in Gaelic I believe - not French. It's a beautiful classic song that David performs an amazing rendition of.
@jwharcup76 On second thought - scratch what I just said. Lol I just looked it up. The lyrics are in French, but it's old late 17th century French when the song was first written by Bernard de La Monnoye. :)
OH MY GOSH I SANG THIS FOR ALL REGION LAST YEAR IN ENGLISH! (I made it, by the way :D) It was kinda different, but I thought no one else knew this existed! Wow, this is weird...
my cousin went 2 school w/ him, and tried 2 ask him out, but he went on tour w/ demi. + my cousins frien was dating him. + again my grandma and carpools friend taught him. cool ha? im tellin' the truth. dont say im lying. 'cause im not. even ask my dad.
