Frère Jacques
"Frère Jacques" ( FRAIR-ə ZHAH-kə, French: [fʁɛʁ(ə) ʒak(ə)]), also known in English as "Brother John", is a nursery rhyme of French origin. The rhyme is traditionally sung in a round.
The song is about a friar who has overslept and is urged to wake up and sound the bell for the matins, the midnight or very early morning prayers for which a friar would be expected to be awake.
