Villanelle des petits canards
Music: Emmanuel Chabrier (1841–1894) · Words: Louise-Rose Gérard (1866–1953)
Ils vont, les petits canards, Tout au bord de
la rivière, Comme de bons campagnards!
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:23) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Ils vont, les petits canards, Tout au bord de
la rivière, Comme de bons campagnards!
Barboteurs et frétillards, Heureux de
troubler l’eau claire, Ils vont,
les petits canards, Ils semblent un peu
jobards, Mais ils sont à leur affaire,
Comme de bons campagnards!
Dans l’eau pleine de tètards, Où tremble’une
herbe légère, Ils vont, les petits canards,
Marchant par groupes épars, D’une allure
régulière, Comme de bons campagnards!
Dans le beau vert d’épinards De l’humide
cressonnière, Ils vont, les petits canards,
Et quoi qu’un peu goguenards, Ils sont
d’humeur débonnaire Comme de bons
campagnards!
Faisant, en cercles bavards, Un vrai bruit de
pétaudière, Ils vont, les petits canards,
Dodus, lustrés et gaillards, Ils sont gais à
leur manière, Comme de bons campagnards!
Amoureux et nasillards, Chacun avec sa
commère, Ils vont, ils vont, ils vont,
les petits canards, Comme de bons
campagnards!
