Gérard only remembers the beginning of a song that goes…
“Maman, il est temps de coucher ma poupée, pauvre petite, elle a l’air fatiguée… ”
In English that would be something like, “Mom, it is time to put my doll to bed, poor baby, she looks tired..”
Would anyone know this song he heard in the late 40’s? If you can, please let us know about it in the comments below.
Thanks!

I wonder if the song you are asking about is the one I have on a National Geographic lullabys of the world CD I picked up at a thrift store. It is a hauntingly beautiful tune. The CD is amazingly good, filled with gorgeous songs from many continents.
