approbation des pairs (net) : +2merle noir Explication : Today when people sing that song they usually sing about “calling birds.” Four of them, to be exact. But actually many years ago they sang the song’s old English words. They sang about colly, or collie, birds. “Colly” or “collie” means “black,” according to the British Broadcasting Corporation. It comes from an old word for coal. So that means on the fourth day of Christmas your true love should give you four blackbirds, providing he or she can catch them after already chasing a partridge (which can fly), two doves (ditto) and three hens (which don’t fly well but sure can run) (especially when organized).
