TRICKS AND TRINKETS AND WHATNOT...ALL TOGETHER IN ONE CONVENIENT LOCATION

Monday, October 31, 2005

I remember going to French Immersion elementary school and learning all the songs in French that kids learn. One of them has been running through my head this week, and in fact it's the only Halloween song that I can think of. Are there any more Halloween songs that people know of? Leave a comment, and here's how this one goes (click here for an audio recording of my Grade 1 class):

Les sorcières sortent le soir.
Les fantômes aussi.
Le ciel est tout noir.
Les nuages sont gris.
Est-ce que tu as peur
des méchants esprits?
O Monsieur,
Oui, oui, oui, oui, oui.

C’est l’Halloween(x2)
Hey!
C’est l’Halloween(x2)

Pendant l’Halloween,
tu peux être ce que tu veux.
Un tigre féroce
Ou un serpent bleu.
Il se fait tard,
Tu rentres à la maison.
O Madame,
Non, non, non, non, non.

C’est l’Halloween(x2)
Hey!
C’est l’Halloween(x2)

La lune, elle est pleine.
Le hibou, il crie.
De toutes les branches,
Pendent les chauve-souris.
Est-ce que tu as peur
de cette nuit?

O Madame,
Oui, oui, oui, oui, oui.

    Ok So that was great, but we want to know what it means. I translated it and this is what I got...hmmm I dunno.

    Steves Grade One Halloween Song (in english)

    The witches take out evenings. The ghosts also. The sky is all black one. The clouds are gray. Do you be afraid of the mean spirits? O Mister, Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

    This is l'Halloween(x2) Hey! This is l'Halloween(x2)

    During the halloween, you do you want. A ferocious tiger Or a blue snake. It is done late, You return to the
    house. O Madam, No, no, no, no, no.

    This is l'Halloween(x2) Hey! This is l'Halloween(x2)

    The moon, she is full. The hibou, it screams. Of all the branches, Hang the bats. Do you be afraid of this
    night?

    Here's what it means:
    The witches go out at night
    The ghosts too
    The sky is all black
    The clouds are grey
    Are you afraid of the mean spirits?
    Oh mister,
    Yes, yes, yes, yes.

    It's Halloween...

    At Halloween,
    You can be what you want to be.
    A ferocious tiger,
    Or a blue snake.
    It's getting late,
    You go back home.
    Oh ma'am,
    No, no, no, no.

    It's Halloween...

    The moon, it's full.
    The owl, it screeches.
    From all the branches
    Hang bats.
    Are you afraid of this night?
    Oh ma'am,
    Yes, yes, yes, yes.


    Pretty sweet song, eh?
