Thread Name: ADD: french folk song about Normandy-Ma Normandie
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: french folk song about Normandy
Apparently, "Ma Normandie" is the former anthem of the province of Normandy, and is the official anthem of the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency consisting of several of the Channel Islands, most notably the Isle of Jersey. Interestingly, since the Bailiwick is a separate entity from both the United Kingdom and France, it's not part of the European Union.

For the dot-challenged, here are a few YouTube clips:
