Never saw the lyrics written, here's what we used to sing at the jams:

Quand le soleil dit bonjour au montaigne;
Et la nuit rencontre le jour

Je suis seule avec mes reve sur la montaigne;
une voix me (rencontre?) toujours.

L'echo qui m'emporte la chanson
du vent rapelle les souvenirs de toi.

Quand le soleil dit bonjours au montaigne,
je suis seul et ne veux pense qu'a toi.

When the sun says good-day to the mountains;
And the night says hello to the dawn.

I'm alone with my dreams on the hilltop,
I can still hear your voice, though' you're gone.

I hear from my doorstep the love song through the wind,
It brings back sweet memories of you,

Now when the sun says good-day to the mountains,
I'm alone dreaming only of you.

But Starr (real name Lucille Savoie), a native of St. Boniface, Manitoba, also appeared on a handful of TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s. At one point, she handled behind-the-scenes yodelling for Beverly Hillbillies character Cousin Pearl.ljc

I thought I did this a while ago, but there seem to be a lot of CRS episodes lately. Here's the whole thing, with accents and credits. (AND LINE BREAKS)

The French Song — Lucille Starr
Words by Larry Vincent, music by Harry Peace

Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes,
Et que la nuit rencontre le jour,
Je suis seule avec mes rêves sur la montagne.
Une voix me rappelle toujours.

Écoute à ma porte, les chansons du vent,
Rappellent des souvenirs de toi.

Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes,
Je suis seule, je ne veux penser qu'à toi.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Now, when the sun says "Good day" to the mountains,
And the night says "Hello" to the dawn,
I'm alone with my dreams on the hilltop.
And I can still hear his voice though he's gone.

I hear from my door the love songs through the wind,
It brings back sweet memories of you...

Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes,
Je suis seule, je ne veux penser qu'à toi.
