Can't Hear the Music?

French; written By: unknown; copyright unknown; this is a song about cooking a lark; see English Translation. We also invite you to learn more about bird friends on the NIEHS campus and play our birds/food matching game.

English Translation: Alouette means "Lark", so you will find it is much harder to sing this song in English since "lark" has only one syllable, while Alouette has four. The song is actually about "plucking" the feathers (plumage) from a lark, presumably in preparation for cooking. A lark is considered to be a small "game bird" (a game bird is a bird considered to be suitable for food, like the coot, dove, grouse, hazel hen, mud hen, partridge, pigeon, plover, quail, rail, snipe, thrush, and woodcock).
