I knew a nursery rhyme when I was little and can't remember it all but would like to know what it translated as it went "alouette jante alouette, alouette..." A bit random I know. Thanks in advance.

I had so much fun with this as a youngster, never knew why but apparently about a lark. Try this site: http://www.geocities.com/guiding_songs/french.html

Lark, kind lark, I will pluck you.

That's not very nice. Thanks for the link, now I know how to spell it I managed to translate it!

There was a rather crude rugby song that was based on this song. Didn't mention 'plucking' though. (Then again, it did mention something that sounded very similar)

I think that's the version i know!

I remember it from a classic Tom and Jerry cartoon, where they're in France and Jerry is one of the mouseketeers. His nephew(?) becomes a trainee mouseketeer and sings the song a lot. Can't offer any other help though!
