NEW SONGS ADDED

I have added some more French musique to the Christmas playlist. One is Douce Nuit, which is sung to the tune of Silent Night. The second is a little diddy called Vive le Vent. It is sung to the tune of Jingle Bells but the words are completely different. We had a discussion about this the other night and us Canadian folk thought that perhaps the French are unaware that the winter wind in flippin' cold and not very Christmasy at all!

Here's the lyrics and translation for the chorus:

Vive le vent, vive le vent, Vive le vent d'hiver, Qui s'en va sifflant, soufflant Dans les grands sapins verts. Oh ! Vive le temps, vive le temps, Vive le temps d'hiver, Boule de neige et jour de l'an Et bonne année grand-mère !

Live the wind, live the wind, Live the winter wind, Which goes whistling, blowing In the big green Christmas trees. Oh! Live the weather, live the weather, Live the winter weather, Snowball and new year's day and happy new year Grandma!
