Alouette
First:  The french words for reference
Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai.
Je te plumerai le tete, (je te  plumerai le tete)
et le tete, (et le tete)
Alouette, (alouette)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,

Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai.
Je te plumerai le dos, (je te plumerai le dos)
et le dos, (et le dos)
et le tete, (et le tete)
Alouette, (alouette)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,....

Then the words are repeated adding in another body part each time... there are many variances, but the major ones are "le tete", "le dos", "le bec", and "le cou" each of which are translated below.
And Now... The English
Lark, Gentle Lark
Lark, I am going to pluck you
I will pluck your head (I will pluck your head)
and your head (and your head)
Lark, (Lark)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,

Lark, Gentle Lark
Lark, I am going to pluck you
I will pluck your back, (I will pluck your back)
and your back (and your back)
and your head (and your head)
Lark (Lark)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah,....

Then the words are repeated adding in another body part each time... there are many variances, but the major ones are "the head", "the back", "the beak", and "the neck".
Surprised?  Don't be.  Most people are clueless as to the meaning of these songs.  Know any foreign songs you would like to know what the Hell they mean?  Drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll do my best to find the translation and put it up for you.
