Hi all,
Here's a french song for children.
Julie hops like a grasshopper and Anatole whistles like a
nightingale......

Quand Julie sautille
sur une marelle
mes yeux s'écarquillent,
saute, sauterelle !
Dis-moi, petite fille,
quel est ton secret ?
J'te donn'rai mes billes.
C'est promis, juré.
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la.

Passent les saisons
et siffle Anatole,
ce petit garçon
est un rossignol.
Les oiseaux s'affolent,
ils sont bien jaloux
du chant d'Anatole
si gai et si doux.
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la.

Sweet. I love your chord progression, that mostly descending with the diminished chord leading to home.

Your voice is real and human. I was imagining a children's chorus--maybe three parts?--breaking in at the choruses. But I think a child could carry this melody if you wanted to let one.

Really nice work! I like how playful of a tune it is. Really light-hearted sounding and some really pristine melodies here. I can definitely imagine a kid loving this

Thanks for sharing!

Really nice song Chris.
We also use UJAM from time to time.
Good job!

Very pretty Christian. Loved the chords progressions on this song.

Thanks Tangmo, Deryk, Rob, Anne-Marie and Scott !
For this song, there are only 3 chords : C, D7 and F. Christian

Hello, Chris

Nice chanson for children!
Although simple, the repeat of the chord progression (C - D7 - F - C) is producing a good effect.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Really enjoyed this song, sweet and well presented.

Les Enfants will love it.

Not sure if anyone (including the submitter) picked up on the "You won't see me" allusion in the main chord progression there... accidental or clever?

Either way, it fits very well into what follows
