Frère Jacques is a well known children's song, sung in the French language.
Jean-Luc Picard and the winners of the school science fair aboard the Enterprise-D sung this song whilst climbing up a turbolift shaft in 2368. (TNG: "Disaster")
Picard (playing his Ressikan flute) and Nella Daren (playing her portable piano) performed a duet of Frère Jacques in one of the service junctions of the Enterprise-D in 2369. (TNG: "Lessons")
- Frère Jacques Beaulieu was actually a celebrated 17th Century French lithotomist, born in 1651.

Frère Jacques,
Frère Jacques,
Dormez vous?
Dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines,
Sonnez les matines,
Din, din, don!
Din, din, don!

Brother Jack,
Brother Jack,
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Ring the morning bells,
Ring the morning bells,
Ding, Ding, Dong!
Ding, Ding, Dong!
- There is also an English language version of the song; Jacques is translated as John, the first and second lines are switched, while the other lines are adapted as Morning Bells are Ringing instead of Ring the Morning Bells (imperative)
