Songs the Professor finds of particular merit both lyrically and pedagogically. Most songs include a bit of factology, a link to an online recording, some grammatical notes, the French lyrics, and an English translation.
Que reste-t-il de nos amours
Une photo…vieille photo…de ma jeunesse
The quintessential Charles Trenet song, about loves past, but recollected in a pleasant nostalgic dreamy haze.
Un Canadien errant
Un Canadien errant, Banni de ses foyers
A French song that is nonetheless dear to the heart of all Canadians, particularly if they are expatriates. If it does not bring a tear to your eye, you have a hard heart.
