Lyrics
I Went To France
Susan Salidor © 1998
I went to France to sing a song
The song was short and the trip was long
Je suis allé en France
pour chanter une chanson
La la la la la la la. . .
I went to France to eat some cheese
I said ?s?il vous plait? and I said ?merci?
Je suis allé en France pour manger du fromage
La la la la la la la. . .
I went to France to see Paris
The ?City of Lights? was très grande! Mais oui!
Je suis allé en France pour voir Paris
La la la la la la la. . .
I went to France to make new friends
I want to return so I?ll see them again
Je suis allé en France pour faire la connaissance
de nouveaus amis
La la la la la la la. . .
I wrote this song for me and you
If you go to France, you?ll know just what to do
J?écris cette chanson pour moi et vous
La la la la la la la. . .
