That's an important point, LeTenebreux.   The French do tend to 'elongate' many words in song by pronouncing the normally silent final "e" sounds, as we English speakers tend to do the same by holding a vowel sound over 2 or more beats (as in "I-i-i-i-i will always love you-u-u-u ...")



Nia [[Does anyone have the french lyrics / english translation to a little french children's song starting
"un deux trois cache-toi
quatre cinq six "]]

DK if I've heard that one. There was a French song called "Un, Deux Trois" that was on an old LP I had from the Norman Luboff Choir back about 1960.

But I also heard a sad story about three little French kittens named Un, Deux and Trois.
They all went down to the seashore to play, and, unfortunately,
Un, Deux, Trois cats sank.
