Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes (original French translation)

~ Song

Annotation

First released in 1945 by French translators Carmen & Annette Richer as "Bonjour mon soleil" (better known as "Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes"), adapted from 1936's "When the Sun Says Goodnight the Mountain" written by Larry Vincent and Harry Pease, which itself bears similarities to 1933's "When It's Lamp Lighting Time in the Valley" (1933). "Quand le soleil..." was later sung in a French/English bilingual version called "The French Song" by Lucille Starr in 1964.
