la vieille chanson de mardi gras - cedric watson lyrics
[sung in creole french, with the english translation below]
les mardi gras s’en vient de tout partout
tout alentour le tour du moyeu
ca p-sse une fois par an, demande la charite
quan-meme ca c’est une patate, une patate ou des gratons
les mardi gras song dessus un grand voyage
tout alentour le tour du moyeu
ca p-sse une fois par an demande la charite
quand-meme ca c’est un poule maigre, ou trois ou quantre coton mais
capitaine, capitaine, voyage ton flag
allons chez un autre voisin
demande la charite pour les autres qui viennent nous rejoindre
les autres qui viennent nous rejoindre
ouais, au gombo ce soirt
translation:
the mardi gras come from all around
all around the center of town
they come by once a year, asking for charity
sometimes it’s a sweet potato
a sweet potato or pork rinds
the mardi gras are on a great journey
all around the center of town
they come by once per year, asking for charity
sometimes it’s a skinny chicken
or three or four corn cobs
captain, captain, wave your flag
let’s go to another neighbor
asking for charity for everyone who’ll come join us later
everyone who’ll come join us later at the gumbo tonight
