La vache qui pleure (French for "The cow who cries") is a 2003 album by the folk duo Kate and Anna McGarrigle. It is named after a prehistoric bas-relief (stone carving) near Djanet in the south of Algeria which is pictured on the album cover or may be a joke with the famous French cheese label "La vache qui rit". It is the sisters' second full album of French language songs, following 1980's Entre Lajeunesse et la sagesse. (Many of the sisters' other albums include one or two French songs as well.)[1]
The album does include one English song "Sunflower" which is a setting of William Blake's poem "Ah! Sunflower". The same song is performed with French lyrics ("Ah tournesol") that are a straight translation of the original. Blake's poem is not acknowledged in the credits for either song.
Guest musicians on the album include Joel Zifkin, Lily Lanken (Anna's daughter), and Martha Wainwright (Kate's daughter).
