No, "Ring a Ring o' Roses" is a traditional nursery rhyme believed to have originated in the 18th century. It is not directly related to the famine.
The nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosies" or alternately called "Ring a Ring o' Roses," is not about a specific year. It is purported to be about a disease called the plague, which was around for many years during the Middle Ages, but this explanation has been more recently thought to be mistaken.
yes
It seems like you are referencing the nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie." It describes the symptoms and progression of the bubonic plague. "Ring around the rosie" refers to the rash that would appear on the skin, "pocket full of posies" refers to carrying flowers to mask the smell of death, and "ashes, ashes" symbolize the burning of bodies. It's a dark interpretation of a seemingly innocent children's rhyme.
No. It is widely believed that Ring Around the Rosies is about the bubonic plague. However, as there is no evidence to support this idea, it is probably untrue. The children during the time of the bubonic plague sung this song because when they started sneezing they fell down and died. They didn't have the same medicines as we do now so they just died when they caught a cold. That is why they say atishoo atishoo we all fall down. The children made this up because they needed some form of entertainment.
It's not French but you could translate it as - une ronde, une ronde de roses.

Ring o' ring o' roses
No it doesn't, ring is a ing sound where as a moon a oooon sound.
"Ring Around the Rosie" is often thought to describe the symptoms of the bubonic plague - the "rosie" representing the red rash, the "pocket full of posies" referring to the belief that carrying flowers would ward off illness, the "ashes" standing for the practice of burning infected bodies, and the "we all fall down" symbolizing the high mortality rates of the plague.
