Free Sheet Music For The Traditional French Canadian Song "Alouette"

Alouette is a traditional French folk song about a little bird (a skylark) getting "plucked." It started out as a song sung by fur traders to pass the time and help speed up their productivity but in the years since has become a very common and popular folk tune. Most Engligh speaking children never realize that in essence they are singing a song that goes through the motions of telling a little bird that they are about to pluck out its eyes, head,tail, and other body parts. A full rough engligh translation is included farther down the page.
