Le Vieux Chalet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Vieux Chalet is a Swiss folk song, written in 1911 by the abbot Joseph Bovet (1879–1951).
It has been translated into sixteen languages, among them Chinese and Japanese.[1]
According to Patrice Borcard, a historian and biographer of Bovet, the song has been sung by both the French Résistance and the pro-German Collaboration because of its symbolic lyrics.[2]
