Et la la la by Ninot le Petit — Lyrics
Et la, la, la
Faiteslui bonne chère.
Me levai par un matin
La fraîche matinée
M’en entrai en nos jardins
Pour cueillir giroflée.

About Et la la la
The opening "Et la la la" immediately sets a light and cheerful mood in this SATB chanson by Ninot le Petit. The voices engage in a playful interplay, reflecting the simple joys of the text. The lyrics describe a pleasant morning spent in the garden, where the singer finds their beloved. The refrain "Faites-lui bonne chère" (Give her a good welcome) adds a convivial spirit, celebrating the beauty of a shepherdess. This secular French song is a charming example of Renaissance part-music, ideal for conveying a sense of pastoral innocence and lighthearted affection.
