Does anyone have the lyrics for Chere Joues Roses? Balfas, SRMP, Jo-EL, doesn't matter.

Version by Steve Riley. Copy from the notebook CD "Tit galop pour Mamou".

Samedi (z)après-midi, moi j'me rase et j'me peigne
Pour aller voir ma Joues Roses, ouais que moi j'aime autant.
Quand moi mais j'arrive à la Pointe de Bois d'Arc,
Moi j'la regarde d'en travers du clos,
Moi j'la vois sur la galerie.

Jolie petite Joues Roses,tu connais t'es la seule
Dans mon coeur aujourd'hui, ton vieux nègre a parti
Pour aller te chercher et t'ramener avec lui.
J'ai passé toute la semaine aussi loin de cette-là moi j'aime.

English lyrics

Saturday afternoon, I shave and I comb my hairs
To go to see my Rosy Cheeks that I love so much.
When I arrive at Bois d'Arc Point
I watch her from across the field, I watch her on the gallery.

Pretty Roses Cheeks, you know that you're the only one
In my heart today. Your man has come
To get you and to bring you home with him.
I've spent a whole week far from those I love.

Marc.

Merci!!

Marc should get paid for his lyrics posts! :)) For years, he's like magic... Make a gumbo in his honor, raise a glass, say a prayer to thank him by the bayou... ya know...

Where does Marc live? I need to know how long-distance the toast needs to be . . . Here's to Marc!!

I'm living in France, near the city of Nantes.
My price would be a free lesson of cajun accordion by lyrics. If it was possible it would be perfect !!
But if I return next year to Lafayette, I shall accept gladly a good beer.

Marc.
