Discover the story of the song > Au bord du Lac Bijou – zachary richard

The song tells the story of a man who spends time by the Lake Bijou, where a special green oak tree stands. He watches a pair of swallows build a nest in the tree every spring, and even gives them names. However, one year he sees only one bird on the tree, and realizes the other must have died. He sings to the bird, asking it to stay with him by the tree.
