When I was a child, children used to play this melody on the recorder. It was the first music lesson at elementary schools in Japan at that time. I thought how simple this melody was. I liked it. Simple things have power. But I didn't think the Japanese translation of this lyrics were very good because it seemed too childish and naive to me. When I grew up, I knew this song came from a French love song. Ah! if I'd started the first music lesson with a French love song, how happy I would've been.
