French Hello Song

Hello songs are a wonderful way to help children who are learning a foreign language. It's also nice for children to always sing the same song at the beginning of a class. Hello songs are great for this.
The song below is called "Bonjour". It's a French hello song written and sung by Alain Le Lait. Sit back and enjoy the song by clicking the MP3 below. You can read along with the lyrics in French, followed by an English translation by Alain...
