Frère Jacques

Introduction

This is a beautiful song in French.  It is usually sung as a round, meaning that it is sung by more than 1 person starting at different times.  When sung that way, it is even more beautiful.

I’ve posted some videos down below to show how this works.  Make sure to check them out.

Singing In A Round

Try singing Frère Jacques as a round by singing along with this video.  Sing along with the singer on the left in the pink sweatshirt each time.  She will start at a different time each time they sing the song.

Just watch and listen the first time.

Here are the words:

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques
Dormez vous, dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines,
Din din don! Din din don!
