Subject: RE: Origin: Little Shoemaker (French/English/Italian)
What then, did the Gaylords sing on the other side of their "Little Shoemaker", and what was its non-English component? If it was French it implies something different from if it was Italian.
Here is the chorus, which also begins the song:
Mecque, Mecque, m'qu'est que c'est? Please tell me when you'll name the day Mecque, Mecque,, m'qu'est que c'est? The day when you and I are one.
The only French word in any of the verses is "oui".
