Hi,

I'm learning the high-point two-step and listening to how Steve Riley and Ann Savoy sing it. I have the lyrics from Dirk Powell's DVD. The last line of the lyrics from Dirk as written: Quais, une autre, une autre fois avant je mourir. It's the "une autre, une autre" portion of the line that doesn't seem to match how Steve, Ann and others sing it. For example, see the link to the recent post on youtube of the Savoy FB playing this.

Can anyone help me understand the pronunciation of this phrase or provide the words as sung by Ann?

Thanks!

I think he saying "quand meme si juste une fois avant j'mourir". " Even if it's just once more before I die.

Thanks Bryan! Thats' very helpful. It sounds like Steve's recording. I've been listening over and over again to Ann on youtube and came up with this: ouais, vient une fois avant je mourir - "yeah, just once before I die"

I think she is saying ".. ouais, quand meme une autre fois avant j'mourir". At least that's what I hear.

That does fit better. Thanks so much. I'm just a beginner and really appreciate your help :)

This is what's on the booklet from the CD who brought me back to this music about 14 years ago.

Ouais quand meme une autre fois
If only once more
Avant de mourir.
Before dying
