French · Alouette

A song between two languages

When French and English sing together. For a project about cultural diversity, Fauna handed us the adaptation of the nursery rhyme Alouette. The idea: the first line of the chorus stays in French, the rest of the lyrics move to English.

An adaptation written four hands. We wrote the lyrics with the client over several rounds: proposals, adjustments, counter-proposals, then final approval. The real stake was making French and English sound right together inside one melody.

One voice across both languages. The same singer recorded the lead and the backing vocals, moving between French and English throughout, and held the same vocal identity and the same energy in both languages. Quite a performance.

Rebuilding all the music. Beyond the lyrics and the vocals, we rebuilt the entire instrumental. Then we handled the mix and the master of the track. Adaptation, music, vocals and post-production: several crafts brought together to produce the track end to end.
