There's no problem with the original title of the J.B. Faure song known to English-speakers as "The palms" being "Les rameaux" (it is a hymn celebrating the triumphal entry of Jesus in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday).

Eric's question was about the provenance of the Gaumont disc of this song he recently found.
