Happy Anniversary


On m'envoie–t–aux champs, c'est pour y cueillir
On m'envoie–t–aux champs, c'est pour y cueillir
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
Au chant de l'alouette je veille et je dors
J'écoute l'alouette et puis je m'endors
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
"Je ne suis pas pucelle que je lui répondis."​
 
"Alouette" is a popular French-speaking Canadian[1] children's song, commonly thought to be about plucking the feathers from a lark, in retribution for being woken up by its song.

With much love for everyone here....
 
This song came up on my shuffle playlist the other day, one which I hadn't heard in a long time, and I remembered how much I enjoyed this artist's songwriting.

Which Way Does That Old Pony Run - Lyle Lovett

The songs tells about a cowboy who yearns to ride away on his horse, leaving his old life behind.


Which reminded me of another song about ponies, this one about a man who after travelling around for most of his life, only wished for his pony to take him back home.

Kind of like life in a way, always coming around full circle...

Pony - Tom Waits

 
I've been really digging this song over the last couple of days. It's from a computer game soundtrack. I haven't played the game, but that series is pretty famous for producing great scores to go with it. The below song is an imagining of a Zulu symphony taking place in the industrial age.

Edit: the medieval version is very good too:
