Subject: RE: Looking for a simple French song
Well, thanks for the compliments, Gargoyle! I don't know which "lovely voice with piano" you're refering to, a couple of contributors agreed to record some songs, you also can hear some songs sung by my former students/pupils and by a colleague of mine -I confess I avoid recording in French because I must switch to standard French accent and it doesn't always sound 100% OK.

Btw, "Ton moulin va trop vite" goes

"Meunier, tu dors,
Ton moulin va trop vite,
Meunier, tu dors,
Ton moulin va trop fort.
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop fort,
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop fort.

"Miller, you're sleeping" + Banjoman's translation

It's one of the first songs babies are sung to because you turn your hands around each other forewards and backwards and teach them to imitate you.
