Now playing on my French song playlist:
Title: Les cornichons
Songwriters: James Booker, Nino Ferrer
Performed by: Rue ’66
Lyrics I like:
On n’avait rien oublié
C’est maman qui a tout fait
Elle avait travaillé trois jours sans s’arrêter
Pour préparer les paniers, les bouteilles, les paquets
Et la radio
Le poulet froid
La mayonnaise
Le chocolat
Les champignons
Les ouvre-boîtes
Et les tomates
Les cornichons
Translation:
We didn’t forget anything
Mom did everything
She worked three days without stopping
To prepare baskets, bottles, packages
and the radio
cold chicken
mayonnaise
chocolate
mushrooms
bottle openers
and tomatoes
gherkins
🎶
Until next Music Monday, have a good week ahead.

Not familiar with this one, perhaps my aversion to cornichons muffled my ears 😉

That’s funny! 😀 I’m curious: is it gherkins you don’t like or just anything pickled?

The French gherkins are quite different from the ones you get in the States but yes, essentially, I am not a fan of either! Pickled onions, now, I like those haha 😉

Pickled onions – that works! 😀 This song includes « des p’tits oignons » 🧅

If I was still teaching French, this would be a great song to use with my students!

Love the song! I saved it under ‘5 a.m. running playlist’ thank you. I’ve been also listening to a lot of French songs lately, ‘Suis Moi’ is currently on repeat. Blaming The Little Prince.

Glad to hear that – Les cornichons is such a fun and energizing song, isn’t it? It makes me hungry, though. 😂 Thanks for telling me about Suis-moi – I’ve added it to my French Song Playlist. Merci! If you like The Little Prince, check out this song that was inspired by it. It’s a French adaptation by Aude Gagnier of “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane. I think it’s so sweet. https://youtu.be/DQ_IVxK-3dk
