Remember Rapture Fundy Failure Saturday? I do, giddy with relief that the world hadn’t ended I got drunk, ate two bars of chocolate at one go, posted a video of the Warwickshire Boys Choir singing about how glad they were that we’d all made it.
I promised myself at that time that I’d post more of their singing and here it is. They’re a very new choir, and a very young one, despite those disadvantages they made it through to the finals of the 2010 BBC. This is the BBC’s broadcast of their winning performances interspersed with interviews with their director and some of the boys. You’ll defintely have a smile on your face by time you’ve finished watching.
- Gimme Some Lovin’.
- Firefly.
- La petite fille sage.
- Turn to Drink
I’ve put the lyrics and a translation of "La petite fille sage" under the video. They sing so clearly that the lyrics for the other three songs are eminently discernible.
Enjoy :-)

Lyrics: "La petite fille sage" ("The good little girl") from Petites Voix (Small Voices) Francois Poulenc.
| La petite fille sage
est rentrée de l’école avec son panier |
The good little girl
comes home from school with her basket. |
| Elle a mis sur la table
les assiettes et le verres lourds et puis elle s’est lavée à la pompe de la cour sans mouiller son tablier |
She puts on the table
the plates and the heavy glasses, and then she washes her hands at the pump in the yard without getting her apron wet! |
| Et si le petit frère dort
dans son petit lit cage, elle va s’asseoir sur la pierre usée pour voir l’étoile du soir. Oh. |
And if her little brother is sleeping in his cradle, she sits on the doorstep to watch the evening star. Oh. |
