[french]Trying to find 2 songs from my mom's childhood

Post by Myve »

Hi,
My mom used to sing for me and my brothers/sisters when we were young. She was singing songs from her own childhood. I can't find them.
She was born in 1954, at La Réunion Island. She told me it was vinyles for kids. She doesn't know if those songs come from the same disc.
The first song is the story of a dog
[...] Une mouche sur son museau
Marchant à tort et à travers
Papatte en bas, papatte en l'air,
Si bien qu'il eternua
papatte en l'air , papatte en bas

Sa maitresse en entendant ça,
papatte en l'air , papatte en bas
pensant qu'il s'etait enruhmé, dit "il faut vite le soigner"
Courons chez le veterinaire
Papatte en bas, papatte en l'air,
sur une table on l'attacha
papatte en l'air , papatte en bas

The second song, is the story of an elephant who doesn't want to keep his trunk
I only have the chorus :
"Quand on est un éléphant, il faut garder sa trom-pe,
Quand on est un éléphant, sa trompe il faut la garder tout le temps"

I tried many things to find these musics, including to read titles on pictures of old vinyles for kids sold on ebay.

thanks in advance for reading this, forgive my mistakes, and , I hope, for your help.
