about

Vocal - Julie Forgues
Mandolin, tenor guitar, pieds, percussion, guimbarde - Chris Pierssené
Tabla - Jeevan Singh Chauhan

A collaboration between long lost cousins and the traditions of French-Canada and England. We start with Julie singing traditional French-Canadian song Au Chant De L'Alouette, and follow it with a whip through the English triple hornpipe Spinning Jenny.

Julie's vocal recorded by Dôn Nodey at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Shanghai.

Everything else recorded, mixed and produced by Chris Pierssené at Dog & Lion Studio, Bradford on Avon, UK.

lyrics

On m'envoie–t–aux champs, c'est pour y cueillir
On m'envoie–t–aux champs, c'est pour y cueillir
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
Au chant de l'alouette je veille et je dors
J'écoute l'alouette et puis je m'endors
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
Je n'ai point cueilli, j'ai cherché des nids
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
J'ai trouvé la caille, assise sur son nid
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Je lui marchai sur l'aile et la lui rompis
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
Elle m'a dit: "Pucelle, retire–toi d'ici!"
"Je ne suis pas pucelle que je lui répondis."
