Thanks to Monique for explaining about the meaning of the song “Alouette”. I found reference to eating lark in an old American cook book! Yet we have no memory of cooking or eating larks! So it must have been a long time ago. There you’ll also find the instructions for this circle game. You can hear Bonjour Guillaume on Mama Lisa’s World France page. Good morning, William, did you have a good breakfast? Monique wrote, “This reference to larks being cooked and eaten can also be found in the circle game song ‘Bonjour Guillaume’.

You can hear Alouette, gentile alouette on Mama Lisa’s World Canada page. Here are the lyrics to the song in French with an English translation. While doing the chore we might have sung a song like “Alouette”… at least in the olden days we may have. Now we see it’s really not! It’s as if we bought a chicken or a turkey from a farm and had to pluck the feathers out ourselves. We don’t eat larks in the US, so most Americans at least, think the song is mean. Larks were and are considered as game, so people would FIRST kill them, then pluck them, then cook them and at last eat them.” She wrote back, “‘Alouette, gentille alouette’ is not a song about mean people who want to cruelly pluck a lark alive.

I asked Monique Palomares in France about it. I’ll pluck your wings…” It sounds really cruel. It sounds like it’s about someone taunting a bird… “Lark, nice lark… I’ll pluck out your feathers… I’ll pluck your eyes. Most people think the French Canadian song, “Alouette” is very mean, once they learn what it means in English.
