I've never heard it done in French. We do it backwards, though. And you can sing it backwards and forwards at the same time, and it sounds good! Margarita |

The other answer is, of course, "No I don't and I couldn't possibly care less." Both are rude and PLEASE ACCEPT THIS AS ONLY THE BAD JOKE IT IS, but I couldn't resist. I think someone around here can come to your aid. Thanks for checkin' in here at Mudcat. Good Luck and come back anytime. catspaw |

Reau, reau your boat

03 May 10 - 08:31 PM (#2899468) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Row, Row, Row Your Boat (in French) From: Genie As close to literal as I can come without a much better translator than Google (coupled with 2 years of college French): Tirez les rames de la barque Doucement sur l'ruissea Gaiement, gaiement, gaiment, gaiment La vie n'est qu'un songe. Or maybe you could sing: Tirez, tirez, tires la barque Doucement sur l'ruisseau. Gaiement, gaiement, gaiment, gaiment! La vie n'est qu'un songe. |

14 Nov 10 - 06:51 AM (#3031682) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Row, Row, Row Your Boat (in French) From: GUEST,Guest Betsy Here's a mechanical translation from Google - I haven't a clue whether it is valid . Seems to me the original words are fine and that the French should learn them in the same way as w had to learn the pointless frere Jacques. Rangée , rangée, rangée votre bateau, délicatement par le courant, gaiement, joyeusement, nous rangée le long de la vie n'est qu'un rêve. |

14 Nov 10 - 07:10 AM (#3031700) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Row, Row, Row Your Boat (in French) From: Monique The difference between songe and rêve is that songe sounds old fashioned and that it's now used only in poetry. The version sung in French is the one Guest Steve Daws posted on May 3rd. The other translations are more or less literal translations that can't be sung. Besides, in English you "row a boat", in French "to row" is "ramer" but the verb is intransitive and you can't "ramer un bateau"; "rangée" = a row, a line |

14 Nov 10 - 07:15 AM (#3031703) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Row, Row, Row Your Boat (in French) From: GUEST,Grishka Short rounds like this one are usually sung in their original languages. That makes us feel international without straining our memories. Margarita wrote: And you can sing it backwards and forwards at the same time, and it sounds good! Actually, being a one-chord round, you can even sing it in, say, eight parts, to symbolize the way rowing is done at The Other Place (wishful thinking). 16 parts forwards and 16 backwards are ok as well, so you can accomodate 32 languages simultaneously, including ИAI??UЯ, without anyone noticing the mistakes. |
