"Alouette" is a traditional French children's song that originated in Canada, and it tells the story of a bird being plucked. The verses each start with the line "Alouette, gentille Alouette" ("Lark, gentle lark"), before stating which part of the bird's body the singer is going to pluck next, such as "I will pluck your head" or "I will pluck your eyes." The song continues in this way until the whole bird has been plucked, ending with repetition of the chorus.
Although the gentle melody and simple rhyme scheme might make "Alouette" seem like a simple nursery rhyme, the lyrics actually have deeper meanings. The song represents the practice of nagging, picking, and criticizing others until there is nothing left of them, just like the bird being plucked. The song is often used in classrooms to teach children about the harm of bullying and hurtful behavior.
Despite its dark meaning, "Alouette" has remained a popular children's song throughout the years and is often used in language learning. The lyrics are commonly translated into other languages, including English, and the song is also used as a cultural reference in movies and TV shows.
