I just looked it up on the X Company Facebook page.... 'Un Canadien Errant'.
Sorry, but that information is completely wrong. I know that song, it has French lyrics, and it's definitely not that song she's singing.

She was singing a song in Romany, the Gypsy language. It was a beautiful song I'd love to have -- but no, it was NOT "Un Canadien Errant", which would have made no sense in the scene whatsoever. When I heard it, I was thinking that when they film in Hungary, they might have had access to someone who knew the song and could teach it to her.

I hope that some day we'll find out what it was.

The Facebook page has been corrected so it no longer says that. I'd still like to know what the song was -- but I KNOW it wasn't the tune of "Un Canadien Errant" and it was sung in Romany, the Gypsy language, not French.

I can't imagine how the writers of the Facebook page thought it would make sense in the scene to have a Gypsy girl suddenly start singing a French-Canadian ballad. They really dropped the ball on that one. I'm glad they corrected it.

UPDATE: The Facebook page now gives the CORRECT song name:
The song is Aj Ke Da Devla, a traditional Roma folksong. This version is arranged by our composers Amin Bhatia and Ari Posner, and performed by Sara Garcia, the actress playing the role of Miri.
