Hi all,
Here's a song for children about two big dogs I had twenty years ago.
https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/les-deux-grands-chiens

Here's an approximate translation :

I have two big dogs at home
Who communicate in their own way
When it’s time to take a walk
They let know that we have to go

Chorus :
The Podhale Shepherd and the Bernese Mountain Dog

They like to frolic in the meadows
In the vineyards and in the orchards
Stealing grapes and pears
The big white dog, the big black dog

They run at full speed
They roll themselves on the earth
And when we get home
They take a nap

A fun bounce to the song that helps in visualizing these dogs running through the vineyards stealing grapes. Cool band. Love that ska sound.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Not just for children, but a lot of fun for adults too. Great bouncy sound and excellent descriptive writing (even in translation) which really brings the dogs to life.

We love dogs and we loved this tune!
Our dog knows immediately from the clothes we put if she is getting a walk.

Well done with the lyric, vocal and arrangement.

Dear 'Chris37'...

Who could resist a song composed to celebrate the companionship of dogs? Not me! The lyrics are simple and perfectly illustrative of the pleasure we take from observing our dogs' behavior in the world. The 'ska' music accompaniment is infectious and irresistible! The motion and rhythm of it had me imagining that I was actually walking a dog...or two. The mix is bright with all the instruments being presented in their full sonic glory. Your singing seems to embrace and express the memory of your past canine pets as though they were alive.

Thank you for producing and sharing this charming song with us, 'Chris37'.
