J'entends le moulin

J'entends le moulin (tique tique taque)
Mon père a fair batir maison.
La fait batir à trois pignons.
Sont trois charpentiers qui la font.
Le plus jeune c'est mon mignon.
Qu'apporte-tu dans ton jupon?
C'est un paté de trois pigeons.
Asseyons-nous et le mangeons.
En s'asseyant il fit un bond,
Qui fit trembler mer et poisson
Et les cailloux qui sont au fond.

I hear the millwheel (tique tique taque)
My father is having a house built.
It's being built with three gables.
There are three carpenters building it.
The youngest is my darling.
What do you have in your apron?
It's a pie made of three pigeons.
Let's sit down and eat it.
While sitting down they all lept up,
Causing the sea and fish to tremble,
and the stones on the bottom of the sea.

Synopsis of J'entends le moulin
(written by me,and info taken from http://www.elektra.ca/thirtypicks/le-moulin.html ):

Donald Patriquin has compiled a very engaging, lively, two-part, accompanied and entertaining arrangement of a well-known French folksong.Being drawn to the vibrancy and beauty of French Canadian folk melodies, in the early 90's, Donald Patriquin embarked on a suite of French Canadian folk songs of which “J'entends le moulin” was to be the first.The arrangement of this song was commissioned by the children's choir of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal (now the English Language Montreal School Board) whose director, Erica Phare, invited him to hold an exploratory workshop with her choir in preparation for the creation of the arrangement.The text is both interesting and evocative. It has now received performances on all continents, and is probably Donald Patriquin's most performed arrangement.

Kimi wo Nosete(Putting On You)
ano chiheisen kagayaku no wa
doko ka ni kimi o kakushite iru kara
taku-san no hi ga
natsukashii no wa
ano dore ka hitotsu ni
kimi ga iru kara

saa dekake you
hitokire no PAN
NAIFU, RANPU kaban ni tsume konde
do-san ga nokoshita atsui omoi
ka-san ga kureta ano manazashi

chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o kakushite
kagayaku hitomi kirameku tomoshibi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o nosete
itsuka kitto deau
bokura o nosete

do-san ga nokoshita atsui omoi
ka-san ga kureta ano manazashi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o kakushite
kagayaku hitomi kirameku tomoshibi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o nosete
itsuka kitto deau
bokura o nosete


*ENGLISH TRANSLATION*
The horizon is shining because
it hide you somewhere.
when I see a lot of lights,
I feel dear because
you are in one of them.

Let's go out,
packing a bag with a piece of bread,
a knife, and a lamp.
This burning will that my father gave me.
That look that my mother gave me.

The earth is spining, hiding you.
The eyes are shining, and the lights are twinkling.
The earth is spining, putting on you;
putting on us who shall meet each other someday.

This burning will is that my father remain for me.
That look is that my mother gave me.
The earth is spining, hiding you.
The eyes are shining, and the lights are twinkling.
The earth is spining, putting on you:
putting on us who shall meet each other someday.

Sypnosis of Kimi wo Nosete
(written by me):
This song has a very soothing tune that calms the mind.It was written by Inoue Azumi for the popular anime Laputa : Castle In The Sky,a story that carries a message of hope.The lyrics are filled with hope that the two people will meet each other some day.

Ok,thats all!
