Colchiques dans les prés - Autumn crocuses in the fields
As autumn is approaching, I thought I would share, with you, one of my favorite French songs.
Though written in the 1940's, I learned it in secondary school and have always remembered the lyrics to this beautiful melody.
When autumn can seem gloomy at times, it is so positive and uplifting. The essence of the lyrics:
the autumn crocuses are blooming
It's the end of summer
the leaves fall, taken by the wind
the chestnuts in the woods break under our steps
the clouds in the sky spread their wings
this song whispers in my heart calling happiness
I also enjoyed singing it to the children, at the pre-school I was working at last year.
I was sharing my bilingual songs and stories with them and finding a new theme each week.
