My aunt went to France and brought back a song that my mother sang to my sister and I when we were little,
she would sing oh-so-softly into our tiny ears
"dites-moi pourquoi
la vie est belle
dites-moi pourquoi
la vie est gai
dites-moi pourquoi,
chere mad'moiselle,
est-ce que, parce que
vous m'aimez?"
and i just remembered it a few days ago and i have found a video of it
apparently, it is a song from the musical South Pacific,
which has had many many remakes and revivals and television versions
there is also supposedly and more contemporary version coming out soon
(insert shout out to wikipedia here)
anyways, i hope you enjoy it as much as i do,
it is very catchy and never leaves your head
plus, if you hum it, your friends might think you are a cultured, learned young adult...
(this version is obviously not the 1958 original as it has reba in it)
