O toi jolie t-monde T’après quitter ton nèg Mais pour t’en aller Et toi mais tu va voir Tout ça que t’après me faire T’après casser mon coeur T’en aller si loin de ton nèg O tu connais que moi Je serai tout le temps là pour toi Jamais t’oublier O ‘coute bien mes paroles Observe-moi bien t-fille J’vas jamais te laisser Tout seul dans les chagrins O you pretty little thing You’re leaving me, your man to go And you’ll see, how that breaks my heart When you go so far from me O you know that I Will always be there for you, never forget O listen to my words, observe me well, little girl I’ll never leave you, alone in misery

O démonter toutes mes misères Je m’ai trouvé Avec pas rien sur la terre O il y a pas d’histoire dans le pays Qui peut me virer De marcher sur le Côte Clair O J’ai tombé dans le tracas J’ai pas connu qui Le monde était après faire Si tu va sur le Côte Claire Tu vas apercevoir que les ombrages Que tu vois c’est juste le vent dans les arbres O I broke down my misery And found myself alone with nothing on earth O there’s no story in this land That can sway me, from walking on the Clear Side O I fell into trouble I didn’t know what people were up to If you walk on the Clear Side You’ll realize that the shadows you see Is just the wind blowing in the trees

Granny Smith 04:23
O mama, t’as toujours dit à moi Awe t’es mieux demander mon pardon Que ma permission O quoi faire c’est bien trop dur pour moi O que tout quelq’un peut s’aimer Comme moi je les aime O mama priez pour mes enfants O c’est malheureux Quand je peux pas les soigner Sauter de le chassis Juste une heure après minuit Elle faisait pas un bruit S’echapper dedans la nuit Sauter dans le boue Pour traverser le bayou Monter sur les chevaux Pour chaser les chats-poteau Couri après les bêtes Avec un bon plum de chouette Jouer en cachette Après fumer ma cigarette Mama a crié Papa a fouetté Petite soeur a braillé Mais moi je m’ai sauvée O mama, you always told me It’s better to ask forgiveness Than to ask permission O why is it so hard for me Can everyone can love them selves As much as I love them O mama, pray for my children O it’s so sad When I can’t take care of them Jumped out the window An hour after midnight She didn’t make a sound Escaped in the night Jumped in the mud To cross the bayou Jumped on her horse To go Pole-Cat hunting Run after the cows With an owl feather Playing hide-and-seek Smoking my cigarette Mama screamed Daddy whipped Little sister cried But I got away

Rice Pump 03:53
O mais hier au soir J’ai rencontré la femme je vais marier Elle m’a porté tout le bonheur Elle fait mon coeur battre comme le pompe du riz O moi j’connais pas Quoi c’est j’ai fait que toi tu peux m’aimer O si le bon dieu le souhaite Tu va jamais quitter ton nèg, chérie C’est pas la peine, si tu t’en va chère Tu va revenir être avec moi Pour la balance de ta vie, chère Moi j’vais donner toutes les richesses que j’ai O last night I met the woman I want to marry She brought me all the happiness She makes my heart beat like the rice pump O I don’t know What I’ve done, that you could love me O if the good Lord will it You’ll never leave me It doesn’t matter, if you go You’ll come back to be with me For the rest of your life, dear I’ll give you everything I have

O oui partout éyou je vas Mais ça me convient pas O si j’aurais des ailes Comme tout ses hirondelles J’irais me reposer J’irais me reposer Auprès de toi la belle Tout temps en regrettant Nos jolies temps passés Y’en a qui aiment les blondes Et d’autres qui aiment les brunes Mais moi j’suis pas comme ça Moi j’aime bien la bouteille Allons à la canteen Pour boire et bien rire Et bien se diverter O nous et nos amis O everywhere I go Nothing convinces me O if I had wings Like the swallows I’d go lay myself down I’d go lay myself down Next to you, my beautiful Always regretting Our great times passed Some like blonds Others like brunettes But me I’m not like that I like my bottle Let’s go to the canteen To drink and laugh And amuse ourselves Us and our friends

Nezpiqué 02:36
Nezpiqué O petite fille C’est pas la peine Que toi tu m’abondonnes Tu me laissais sur le Bayou Vermilion O c’est pas la peine petite fille Que t’après m’abandonner Navigué sur le Bayou Nezpiqué O little girl It doesn’t matter That you’re leaving me You left me on Bayou Vermilion O it doesn’t matter Little girl That you’re abandoning me I’m cruising the Bayou Nezpiqué
