Tombe tombe tombe la pluie

It is raining, a lot. It isn't cold, just is very 'wet'. So I suppose I could have walked along singing 'it's raining, it's pouring', but I really do like this little comptine that my kids taught me. Just singing quietly as I cannot sing, but it just 'felt' right.

 

However, I didn't like all the songs that my kids came home singing and went and had this one stopped at least whilst mine were in that class.

So I tell my kids not to smoke and they get told this at school, no, not on! AND they both started to smoke and still do, we the parents do not!

Il pleure dans mon coeur

Il pleure dans mon coeur

Comme il pleut sur la ville ;

Quelle est cette langueur

Qui pénètre mon coeur ?

Ô bruit doux de la pluie

Par terre et sur les toits !

Pour un coeur qui s'ennuie,

Ô le chant de la pluie !

Il pleure sans raison

Dans ce coeur qui s'écoeure.

Quoi ! nulle trahison ?...

Ce deuil est sans raison.

C'est bien la pire peine

De ne savoir pourquoi

Sans amour et sans haine

Mon coeur a tant de peine !

Verlaine
