Alouette !! Gentille alouette !! Le philanthrope !! Alouette, je te plumerai !!

[JenniferRostockFan96]

There is a female ghost in an episode of 'Ghost Whisperer' and she sings this song in a very psychological way.

[MrTheJohnCenaFan14]

Mon père a chanté la chanson a moi avant aller dormir :D

sry for my sicking french, I'm german :D

[terror403]

Mais c'est horrible.

Je te plumerait la tête, le bec, les yeux, mais c'est horrible, pauvre bête.

Pourquoi la tuer, l'empailler et en faire une chanson ?

Quelle horreur !

[carafedeau123]

My god, only on the goddamn internet could people get in an argument of any kind about Alouette...

[marika1985mika]

nooooooooooo :'-(



[GeistvonWut]

I read the lyrics of this song... Seems really fucking sadistic. A kid's song? The Canadians and French are teaching Sadism?! I thought that was us German's job

[Ty3Die]

@GeistvonWut hey dumbass, its a song about preparing the bird to be cooked. how the hell is it sadism you ignorant fuck?

[Ty3Die]

@GeistvonWut also btw ring arround the rosey is about small pox and ever here the one about a craddle falling out of a tree with a baby inside. guess that means were teaching about bio warfare and homicide

[GeistvonWut]

@Ty3Die The upbeat-ness of the music going with dismembering a creature makes it seem sadistic, jackass. And I never said there weren't any sadistic lullabies in English. I WAS MAKING A FUCKING JOKE YOU FUCKING IDJIT! Kinda thought that was obvious, when I said that was us Germans' job... AND MY FUCKING YOU TUBE ACCOUNT NAME IS IN GERMAN, but my YouTube account information says I'm American! Yeah, who's ignorant now? You fucking moron. Even my French teacher said this song seems kinda Sadistic.

[gagamonster99]

Je suis un étudiant américain d'apprentissage français dans une classe de français et notre professeur de français nous a appris cette chanson! très bon!

[prkb2007]

[MsHoly777]

CATS LOVE TO GO AFTER THESE POOR BIRDS. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL THE CATS. GO SCREAM AT THE CATS NOT US!!!!!! (EMPIRICAL1980!!!). IT'S JUST AN OLD FRENCH FOLK SONG AND I LEARNED IT AS A CHILD ALONG WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHERS AND WE NEVER HARMED ANY POOR BIRD SO TAKE A FEW CHILL PILLS.. TO lefilsdehommeblanc........Bien merci!!

[lefilsdelhommeblanc]

@MsHoly777: Hi my new friend.

This song is not a reality. It just a song for children

C'est une chanson qu'on chantait tous quand on était tous petis.

It is a distraction.

c'est juste pour se distraire.

Bien de choses à toi and god bless you !

[fernfeyes]

@MsHoly777 ....YOU!...YOU!......YOU BIRD KILLER! May you come back as a statue in your second life! (just kidding!..after all these years I finally know what this song is about. I heard it last night on a rerun of Star Trek..Jean Luc was singing it with his brother.)..thank you for the post.

[kknb16]

@JaiiTika : Merci ma belle !

Bien de choses à toi !

[Empirical1980]

LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!

[IDeserveToCry]

If you know what the song is about it's very strange, that the song is so happy and even kids are singing along.

I'm confused, acctually...

[pycountrygirl08]

I liked this song better before I knew what it was saying. poor birdie :( oh well it's still a cute song

[xetei]

¿Alguien es capaz de traducirme esta cancion al español?

Is anybody able to translate this song to spanish for me?

[Nacionarg]

@xetei Básicamente dice algo como "Pajarito, gentil pajarito, te desplumaré la cabeza/ojos/patas/pico/etc." y a medida que va nombrando aprtes del cuerpo que se van desplumando las "acumula" en el resto de la canción... las canciones infantiles en general son bastante crueles, y nadie salió loco ni pervertido por eso, jaja (no tiene que ver con la traducción, es tan sólo mi opinión). Hay varias versiones, dependiendo de cuantas partes del cuerpo del pajarito menciones y en qué orden.

[xetei]

@Nacionarg Merci beaucoup!

[Monicparu]

chido!!

[Empirical1980]

Leave the damn birds alone!

[naruxsasu]

[celticraider1]

kids in England have sung this song, in French for decades, and most of us never had a clue what it meant

[nicolasnix]

C`est tres bien!!!!!

NiColasNix

[lefilsdelhommeblanc]

je te remercie !

Que dieu te bénisse !!

[jamsmen]

I remember singing this in year 4. Should this be taught to children. lol It's morbid.

[PantherMarie88]

@jamsmen I know - it's about plucking feathers off of a bird xD

[jamsmen]

No I think it is a Canadian song.

[mudkipsie]

I had to sing this in a 4th grade program.

We danced around a student dressed as a bird and we pulled the feathers off his costume...it's rather morbid XD

[SnowKid32]

Mary Had A Little Lamb is a childrens song and it's about a white sheep...

[DaNiApRiL6]

dued i had to sing this in my music class!!!

[heavyjairo]

haha, poor skylarks, they're so mean

[TheLady2Love]

It´´s a very happy melody, but the translation is bad!

[MrFreeze135]

still can't believe we sang this in elementary school...kind of a sadistic song.

[coolkatz0]

[LarryMantek33]

[Janaikana]

[eiluj44860]

[lefilsdelhommeblanc]

C'est Henri Dés qui chante.

[Mariella1187]

Alouette lalalalalalaaaaaaaaa

hihi great xD

[Aca13111990]

I didn't understand a thing but sounds interesting ^^

[AkaneHasegawa]

theyre singing about chicken. hahaha

"first you pluck the feathers off it's head..."

hahaha

[videobyratizi]

It's not a chicken. It's a lark.

[AkaneHasegawa]

WHATEVER!! Lark, chicken, they're both fat birds with wings. I'm from the south, hun. We call ALL birds "chicken".

[corydorastube]

Your also pig ignorant.

[AkaneHasegawa]

Ooh. That's big talk from someone who just misspelt the word, "You're".

[divdawgd]

well your stupid

[AkaneHasegawa]

Wow, another "You're" misspeller! Ha!

"I may be ignorant, but I ain't stupid." ~ Loretta Lynn.

[divdawgd]

Well you're ignorant?

[swartzkoff69]

Firstly; a bird usually denotes wings... Thanks for stating the obvious dumb ass.

Secondly; just because you're from the "south" does not excuse you from being ignorant "hun"...

Thirdly; whereas a chicken and lark may be defined as a bird, they are both a different species of which would require differentiation.

[AkaneHasegawa]

People are making a strangely big deal over the fact that I wasn't SPECIFIC on what type of bird it was. My dad sort of translated the song for me (he slept through two whole years of French class!) and he told me it said "chicken". Sorry that I'm not fluent in French, and I'm sorry that I'm OBVIOUSLY too STUPID to coexist with all of you BRILLIANT star pupils out there.

[LotteQUEEN]

AUAHUAHAUAHUAHAUHA!

[lcastanedamUN]

I really like it!

nice to learn some french :p

[newmanwong]

great song , tks

[lephilanthrope]

Pas mal !
