I am a reader rather than a speaker of French and I agree with you - their songs do indeed reach out to the universal language of poetry. They do a lot for me, a learner of French. I can only guess at their effect on someone who is familiar with the local flavour and language. A purely local variety of French or of any other language can have a universal reach.
Apart from the scans of the CD all the photos are from the internet - it took quite a while to find them all, more by luck than by judgement in point of fact.
The poetry expressed in Canadian French in the McGarrigle sisters songs is absolutely astounding. I don't know if they convey the same strength in English and I don't know if they just strike a cord with me because the local flavor and the language is familiar to me? But I really feel that ir reaches the universal language or poetry.
Le Royaume de Dieu est un gouvernement céleste dont le Roi est Jésus Christ. Il détruira bientôt les gouvernements humains, et la terre deviendra un paradis — Isaïe 11:9 ; Daniel 2:44 ; Jérémie 10:11. Le dessein de Dieu consistant à faire de la terre un paradis s’accomplira. — Genèse 2:8-9 ; Proverbes 2:21-22 ; Isaïe 25:8 ; 46:11. Dans le monde nouveau, Dieu accordera de nombreux bienfaits aux humains — Psaumes 37:29, 67:6, 72:16 ; Révélation 21:4 ; Isaïe 33:24, 35:5-6.
