French Songs To Learn French







Learning French songs is an effective way to learn French. You may not want to learn any French songs but in any case, have a listen to the following. I chose to share the following French music videos because of their good quality, the clear diction, and because, let's be honest, they are beautiful French songs!



Jacques Brel was one of the best French singer-songwriter to live. He used to sing with a passion, his diction was excellent and of course, he sang mainly about love. Here is "Quand On N'A Que l'Amour" (When One Has Nothing But Love):




Claude François: you can't talk about French songs without mentioning "Cloclo"! This funny little man in a shiny suit used to be quite a star in France in the seventies. Perhaps the closest French equivalent of Elvis Presley, he also died before his time and I grew up listening to his music. This song is called "Cette Année-la" (That Year) and is about the events that happened around the World in 1962.
