Memorable Quotes
Sorcière, sorcière, prends garde à ton derrière !
— Children's chant
Context:
This chant is famously used in the episode "La Sorcière du placard aux balais." Singing the full song summons the witch from her closet, and it becomes a central plot device in confronting her.
Meaning:
"Witch, witch, watch your behind!" This recurring magical chant is a powerful incantation used by the children to combat or reveal a witch. It symbolizes the power that lies in collective courage and the use of specific, rhythmic language—akin to a magic spell—to fight evil.
