Larian Studios Forums General Chat Sing a little song

These are a bunch of songs for children in french schools. So, some french canadians here should recognise some. They're just bits and pieces.

"Si tu aime bouger come j'aime bouger, alors clap les mains.
*clap**clap**clap**clap*
"Si tu aime bouger come j'aime bouger, alors clap les mains.
*clap**clap**clap**clap* "

---Yea... thats a little something from a french singer named Jaquot. I pulled a movie out of the pile of old and forgotten movies at my house and that came out. Must of been from when I was in JK or something. Hes a guy who dances with baloons... hes wierd. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

"Le clow-n Sa-mu-el, aim-e les en-fants;
aim-e les en-fants, le clow-n Sa-mu-el."

---Thats Marie Soleil. I don't remember what she looks like, but I remember how odd that song sounded to me, even back then.

Now I'm branching off from the french songs of my past; here's an english one.

"Picture Pages! Picture Pages!
Bill Cosby's Picture Pages!
Words and colours! Games and numbers!
Come and learn with Bill!
Picture Pages! Picture Pages!
Bill Cosby's Picture Pages!
Words and colours! Games and numbers!
Come and learn with Bill!"

---The theme song from Picture Pages, a fun learning show by Bill Cosby. I remeber always enjoying it. Good times... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thats all for now.

I have also some child songs but they are all in French.

Sur le pont d'Avignon
On y dance, on y dance
Sur le pont d'Avignon
On y dance tout on rond. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />



Un kilomètre à pied
ça use, ça use
Un kilomètre à pied
ça use les souliers...

Deux kilomètre à pied
ça use, ça use
Deux kilomètre à pied
ça use les souliers (j'espère que tous les mots sont juste?)



Au clair de la lune
mon ami Pierrot
Prête moi ta plume
pour écrire une mot

Ma chandelle est morte
je n'ai plus de feu
ouvre-moi ta porte
pour l'amour de Dieu

That's it for today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I remember all those ones Galadriel! And yes, the words are right (I think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ).



My name is Pierrot! Actually its Pierre; close enough. I actually got some friendly teasing in grade school for that every time we sung that song.

In grade school they also taught us one thats an indian song:

"Ah-ni coo-ni, Ah-ni coo-ni;
Ah-ni coo-ni, Ah-ni coo-ni.
A-ah-ni coo-oo-ni shaa-ah-oo-ah-ni!
A-ah-ni coo-oo-ni shaa-ah-oo-ah-ni!
Ah-wah-wah, bi-ka-nah ka-y-ya;
Ah-wah-wah, bi-ka-nah ka-y-ya;
Eh-eh-ah-oh-ni, bee-ci-ni;
Eh-eh-ah-oh-ni, bee-ci-ni."

Its actually pretty majestic. There were hand gestures to go with the song, but I forget them. I think for each of the last two lines, you clapped above your head at the first 'Eh' and made a circle going down for the remainder of the line. Good times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Do you remember that one Galadriel? Anyone? I think it was pretty popular, maybe you've heard it.

Killerzzz

I can't help it, but I drag this song with me all day already.

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show....
Now all together! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)
Well, work it on out, honey (Work it on out)
You know you look so good (Look so good)
You know you got me goin', now (Got me goin')
Just like I knew you would (Like I knew you would)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)

@ lady sarah -> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

almost wrote 'hey la my boyfriend's back' but i can't recall even a bit of the lyrics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Of course I know this song! It might be taught in every vacation camp, and is sang often in campings too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Recently it was used as the theme of the french Eeuebecer movie Camping Sauvage. I don't remember the gestures either, though... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> (And I know all the previous french ones you posted; they're folklore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> )

Now this one is sang mostly by the kids in the car/bus along the travel:

Dans la belle petite maison dans la vallée (yee-ha)
Nous irons main dans la main
En chantant ce gai refrain
Dans la belle petite (...) maison dans la vallée, ohé
Ohé! (ohé!) Hé-oh! (hé-oh!)

(And then you start singing it again, repeting "petite" one time more everytime you sing it again (you say it 2 times the second time, 3 times the third time, etc.). This song can sometimes drive people mad... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> )

Lady Sarah, I love that song. Just hearing it again makes me want to go get it now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

LaFille, I don't recognise that one. Oh well, can't catch 'em all (Pokemon!... random statement!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />).

Know what other song drives people mad?

"John Jacob Jinglehymer Shmidt! His name is my name tooooooooooo!
Whenever we go out, the people always shout:
There goes John Jacob Jinglehymer Shmidt! Naa-naa-naa-naa-naa-naa-naa!
John Jacob Jinglehymer Shmidt! His name is my name tooooooooooo!
Whenever we go out, the people always shout:
There goes John Jacob Jinglehymer Shmidt! Naa-naa-naa-naa-naa-naa-naa!"

And you keep repeating it. One that makes them more crazy is:

"This is the song that ne-ver eeeends!
For it goes on and on my frieeeeend!
Some people, started singing it
no knowing what it was,
and they will keep on singing it forever just because...
This is the song that ne-ver eeeends!
For it goes on and on my frieeeeend!
Some people, started singing it
no knowing what it was,
and they will keep on singing it forever just because..."

This is a song you sing over and over, quite quickly, and you don't stop untill someone makes threats at you or you get wacked over the head! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Now for some french song:

"Pomme de vinette
et pomme d'apis,
petit tapis rou-ge.
Pomme de vinette
et pomme d'apis,
petit tapis rouge."

This is one a certain grade school teacher put on during tests. I only remember one annoying line...:

"Oui je suis le ca-THÉ-DRAAAAAAA-LEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"

More kids songs commin' up!:

"I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and banaaanaaas!
I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and banaaanaaas!
I like to oat, oat, oat, opples and bononos!
I like to oat, oat, oat, opples and bononos!
I like to ite, ite, ite, ipples and bininis!
I like to ite, ite, ite, ipples and bininis!
I like to uut, uut, uut, upples and bunuunuus!
I like to uut, uut, uut, upples and bunuunuus!
I like to eet, eet, eet, eeples and beeneenees!
I like to eet, eet, eet, eeples and beeneenees!
I like to ayt, ayt, ayt, ayples and baynaynays!
I like to ayt, ayt, ayt, ayples and baynaynays!" etcetera.

You can start to do some weird mixed and warped vowel sounds, but then it gets pretty hard to put down into letters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Heres part of a song from the movie Chicago (very well done for a musical). This particular song is disturbing, but catchy:

"They had it commin'! They had it commin'!
They had it commin', all al-ong!
I didn't do it, but if I done it,
then can you tell me that I was wrong?"

Its a bunch on women in jail singing about how and why they killed their husbands. Nice huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Okydoky, thats all for now I think.

Killerzzz

P.S.: I do like to eat apples and bananas! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

words get tangled on your tongue
and u stumble on your feet when u miss somebody
and everywhere u think u see them
walking down the street when u miss somebody

when u miss somebody
u tell yourself a hundred thousand times
nobody ever lives forever, so u give it one more try
to wave goodbye

every hurtful thing u ever said
is ringing in your ears when u miss somebody
and everything of beauty
that u see only brings a tear when u miss somebody

when u miss somebody
u tell yourself everything will be alright
try to stand up strong and brave
when all u want to do
is lay down and die

how long i've waited for an answer or a sign
lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
to wave goodbye

so now u start to recognise that every single path u see leads a tear in your eye
so wave goodbye, wave goodbye

Do you feel the summer iching, Killerzzz? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Maybe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I do know that I feel it ending... its school time tomorrow for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

...

Whoa... I've just really taken in what I've just said. School tomorrow. Euhg. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Oh well, as the song in Peter Pan says...

"Think of the happiest things;
its the same as having wings.
Think of songs the movies make
when the movie's still awake.
You see him in the skies.
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!"

Yes, alot of those words are wrong. Thats just off the top of my head. *shrug* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

For the little boy that lost his life today at the daycare in my village...

Slaap, kindje slaap,
Daar buiten loopt een schaap,
een schaap met witte voetjes,
drinkt er de melk zo zoetjes.
Schaapje met zijn witte wol,
kindje drinkt zijn buikje vol.

Translation:
Sleep, baby sleep,
outside there is a sheep,
a sheep with little white feet,
drinks his milk soo sweet.
Little sheep with his white wool,
baby drinks his belly full...

That baby will never wake up again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Thats a very nice song. My heart goes out to everyone in your village who was affected by his passing. As many know, and many have stated: it is terrible that some young perish before the old. May his family and friends be strong, and so may all those who have lost someone close.

I don't know any songs for him, but here's one that touches me. Its a song about those who did not return from the war, but its the best I can think of from my known music.
This song is very touching, and I'm sure many will recognise it.

"O danny boy,
the pipes, the pipes are ca-al-ling
from glen to glen,
and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone
and all the roses fa-al-ling.
It's you,
it's you must go and I must hide."

Thats all I know. It's a nice song, so I got the rest off the internet.

"But come ye back
when summer's in the meadow
or when the walley's hushed
and white with snow,
I'll be there
in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh danny boy,
oh danny boy, I love you so.

But when ye come
and all the flow'rs are crying,
if I am dead,
as dead I may well be,
ye'll come and find
the place where I am lying
and kneel and say
an ave there for me.

And I shall hear
through soft you tread above 'em,
and all my grave
will warmer, sweeter be.
For you will bend
and tell me that you love me,
and I shall sleep
in peace unitl you come to meet."

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful song. *sigh*

Killerzzz

for the little boy, it's a part of the song by Temple of the Dog, called Say Hello to Heaven

I never wanted to write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases of things we'll never do
So I blow out the candle, and I put you to bed
Since you can't say to me now, how the dogs broke your bone
There's just one thing left to be said

Say hello to heaven

Fiddler on the Green - Demons & Wizards

The CD's cover art goes with this song.


Sad voices they're calling
Our precious girl she can't be gone
How bitter this morning
When daddy's darling
Went out and started her day

Wasn't there a dream last night
Like a spring never ending
Still the water runs clear
Through my mind
On the field I can see a fiddler
The fiddler on the green and the sad boy
I took him too early
Would you mind
Would you mind
Would you mind
If I take you

To be with you
To be with you
To be with you
To be with you

The sun seemed bright
The air was clear
The air was clear
A trick of light
Turned red into green
She saw the light
Her face was pale
Her body smashed
Her beauty's gone

Isn't it a shame
The reaper said
He is quite alone here
And still waiting for you
Oh I really did fail for the first time
Spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler
The fiddler on the green
The fiddler on the green
It would be nice…

Take my hand

Just hold my hand
I'll take you there
Your pain will go away

@ Janggut
You are such a sweetheart, your songs brought tears back in to my eyes.

I know that there are babies dying all over the world every day, but just the taught that this boy could've been my son, is just unbearable... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

This is my favorite hymn:

"And He will raiiiise you up, on eeaaagle's wings,
Beeaaar you on the breeeaaath of dawn,
Make you to shii-iine like the suuuuuuun,
And hooold you i-in the-e paaaalm, of His Haaaand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the ar-row that flies by daaaaay,
Though thou-sands fall a-bout you,
Near you it shall not coooome.

And He will raiiiise you up, on eeaaagle's wings,
Beeaaar you on the breeeaaath of dawn,
Make you to shii-iine like the suuuuuuun,
And hooold you i-in the-e paaaalm, of His Haaaand."

[color:"green"] Thats all I know, but since I like this song, I went to get the rest: [/color]
"You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."

Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.


Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.


Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.


Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
And hold you in the palm of His Hand."


I particularily like the part where it says "Make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His Hand".
Why? It shows that, compared the God, the amazing brilliance of the sun is insignificant. I just love it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
