Promenons-nous dans les bois
Chansons et comptines Lyrics

"Promenons-nous dans les bois" is a popular French nursery rhyme that has been around for over two centuries. The song is usually sung by children while walking through the woods or as a fun game with actions. The lyrics depict a group of people taking a walk in the woods while being cautious of the wolf. The first verse emphasizes the importance of walking in the woods while the wolf is away, otherwise, he would eat them. The second verse asks the wolf if he is around, and the wolf responds by saying that he is putting on his clothes - first his shirt, then his socks. The third verse repeats the first verse with a slight variation before ending the song.

This song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale for children warning them to be careful and stay away from dangerous animals like wolves. The wolf symbolizes danger and the innocent people in the woods need to be alert, hiding or running away when a threat arises. The wolf represents a fear that needs to be avoided or faced with caution. The lyrics also teach children how to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings.
