Best Answer

à la Claire fontaine" is a traditional song, still popular nowadays. There are a number of versions of it; the best-known version in France came back from Canada where the French troops sang it as sort of an hymn. (see link)

A written version exists since 1704, but the first writers and singers of the song are unknown.

"Chante rossignol chante - la fin de l'été

tu as le coeur à rire,

moi je l'ai à pleurer..."
