А вот эта песенка упоминалась в "Войне и мире"--случайно увидела её на прошлой неделе ;)

This is the song mentioned in Tolstoy's "War and Peace"--found it by chance the other day in related videos for another song [livejournal.com profile] goldvermilion87  showed me :)

EDIT: and here's the translation: www.mamalisa.com/

It is meant to be ironic, as I'm sure you realise ;) And yes, classic French--laughter through tears
