“Petit Oiseu” is a French folk song, sung in Haiti, about a lilting little bird. I first heard this song on the Smithsonian Folkways CD, Caribbean Songs and Games for Children.
Lyrics of All Around This World version:
Oh little bird, come with me
Here’s the cage I bought for you
And the fruit I’ve picked, you’ll see
And the flowers wet with dew
Petit oiseau viens avec moi
Voir la cage si bien parlee
And the flowers wet with dew
And the fruit I’ve picked, you’ll see
