RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English

On Monday Joan sang "Le carillon de Vendôme".
This song talks of the situation of the Dauphin Charles VII at his father's death in 1422 when he inherited the kingdom of France reduced to the town of Bourges and some less important ones such as Orléans, Beaugency…, the rest of the kingdom being occupied by the English and their allies during The Hundred Years' War. (The "dauphin" is the France throne's heir, usually the king's eldest son.)

LE CARILLON DE VENDÔME (French)

Mes amis que reste-t-il
À ce Dauphin si gentil ?
Orléans, Beaugency,
Notre Dame de Cléry,
Vendôme, Vendôme ! VENDÔME CHIMES

My friends, what is left
To this so nice Dauphin?
Orléans, Beaugency,
Notre Dame de Cléry,
Vendôme, Vendôme!
