Les arbres ont poussés - Alan Stivell and Angelo Branduardi:

This is GORGEOUS! I love billingual songs :) This one is in English and French. It displays Alan Stivell’s incomparable harpist skills and his sweet Breton accent in English ^^ Listen well- it does not sound at all like the French accent. It’s dinstinctly Celtic. I had already listened to Breton singers interpreting songs in English and noticed that while some of them had a French accent, others had a definitely different lilt. I love the Breton accent in English- it sounds prettier than in French, and less harsh than in Breton. Almost Gaelic :P

So there, an amazingly beautiful song with cool accent: Italian in French, and Breton in English ^^ That’s what I call cool culture-blending!
