The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Episode 2: "Alouette"

Alouette, gentille alouette...

AMC has confirmed the length of Sunday's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon episode 2, "Alouette." Last week's "L'âme Perdue" series premiere of the Walking Dead spin-off, which found Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) washing ashore in post-apocalyptic France, saw the marooned American agree to chaperone Sister Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) and Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi) to safety up north in exchange for passage home. In "Alouette," Daryl, Isabelle, Laurent, and Sylvie (Laika Blanc Francard) face trouble on the road toward The Nest.

Daryl Dixon Episode 2 Preview

Daryl, Isabelle, Laurent, and Sylvie travel through the French countryside and arrive at Cole Maternelle Simone Veil: a preschool named in honor of Simone Veil, the French Health Minister and women's rights advocate who was elected the first woman President of the European Parliament. They encounter Lou (Kim Higelin) and a band of orphans who live in fear of La Tarasque, named after a dragon-like creature from French fables.

"Alouette" Meaning

"Alouette," or "lark" in English, is named after the French lullaby. The song is about death — specifically about killing, plucking, and eating a lark bird. According to American Songwriter, "Alouette" dates back to at least 1879 and found its way to America after French and American soldiers fought together in World War I.

Alouette, gentille alouette
Alouette, je te plumerai
Je te plumerai la tête
Je te plumerai la tête
Et la tête, et la tête
Alouette, Alouette

Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you
I will pluck your head
And your head
Lark!

Lou's band of orphans wear attire appropriate for the zombie apocalypse: the bird-like plague doctor outfits that protected doctors from disease and the rotting scent of decaying bodies as the bubonic plague spread in Europe.
