    comptine d'un autre ete l'apres

    It's the name of a song and I'd really like to know what it means. c: Babelfish gave me the usual non-coherent translation.

    Something along the lines of "rhyme/story of the summer after".

    I dunno, Forsaken's here so he should be able to help. xD

    Well first of all, it's "Comptine d'un autre Eté (Après-Midi)

    It means:
    'Nursery Rhyme'/'Children's Song' of a another summer. (Afternoon)

    Thank Harriet for making me notice this thread <_<

    Dunno what the first word is, but autre means other, ete can mean the past form of to be but also can mean summer and apres means after.

    Edit: okay fine late whatever >:

    The word comptine is actually hardly known.
    It's basically a sort of song children sing in a nursery or whatever.
    Or just a simple song children sing. Doesn't have to be in a nursery. But it might be the case here.

    Well I'm sorry, iTunes kept shortening the title and I didn't get the whole thing. >:|

    Well I might as well be helpful with something around here. You're welcome.
    And yeah, it is a great song.
