Beatrice watched and listened to this French Lullaby over and over tonight. I admit it is soft and relaxing. I love it, too!

Update (February 2011). Per a comment left, this IS really a better video as it includes a chicken!

Lyrics:

La petite poule�grise
L’�tait�une�p’tit’ poul’ (une�petite poule)grise
Qu’allait�pondre�dans l’�glise
Pondait un p’tit’ coco
Que l’enfant�mangeait�tout chaud
L’�tait�une p’tit’ poul’ noir
Qu’allait�pondre�dans l’armoire
Pondait un p’tit’ coco
Que l’enfant�mangeait�tout chaud
L’�tait�une p’tit’ poul’ blanche
Qu’allait�pondre dans la grange

L’�tait�une p’tit’ poul’ rousse
Qu’allait�pondre dans la mousse
(L’�tait�une p’tit’ poule beige
Qu’allait�pondre�dans la neige)
L’�tait�une�p’tit’ poule brune
Qu’allait�pondre sur la lune

English Lyrics:

Here is the translation I made (sorry for my english) :
‘t was (it was) a little grey hen
who laid in the church
(it) laid a little egg (French children call an egg “coco”)
the child ate this warm egg
‘t was a little black hen
who laid in the closet
(it) laid a little egg
the child ate this warm egg
‘t was a little white hen
who laid in the barn�

(it) laid a little egg
the child ate this warm egg
‘t was a little red hen
who laid to lay in the moss
(it) laid a little egg
the child ate this warm egg
(‘t was a little beige hen
who laid in the snow)
‘t was a little brunette hen
who laid on the moon
(it) laid a little egg
the child ate this warm egg�

UPDATE, FEBRUARY 20111. Per a comment left, I found a much better youtube video for this french lullaby. I like it much better. It has chickens!!
