Lyrics for Duralde Waltz? Here's the youtube clip

Awesome interpretation of Eddie Lejeune. Anyone has the lyrics for it?

Re: Lyrics for Duralde Waltz? Help Howell Laleur!

Ok, I jumped the guns... I do have the lyrics in both the Yellow book and Ann Savoy Book. However, while both versions are quite similar, the version here sang by Eddie Lejeune is quite different.

After listening to Eddie's clip several times and finding relathionships with the above-mentioned version (sometimes they pick and chose some sentences from the lyrics and modify them), here's my take on it:

PART A
Dis bye bye, à ton Pap et à ta Mom, malheureuse
mais t'es pour moi, d'abord t'es là à Grand Duralde

PART B (this is where I am not sure on the first part of the phrase)

Pour la fille malheureuse, mais tu r'sens rien, tit monde, mais t'es pour moi, tu vas peut-être revenir un bon jour.

For the second verses, he repeats the same thing.

De l'aide s.v.p. de nos amis Cadiens!

Sounds something like this to me

Dis bye bye, à ton Pap et puis ta Mom, malheureuse
Mais, t'es pour moi d'abord t'es la à Grand Duralde
Pour l'avenir, malheureuse, mais tu t'en reviens, 'tit monde
Mais prie pour moi, tu vas revenir peut être un bon jour

There's a lot more lyrics to the story in Iry's version.

Pour t'avenir malheruese, mais tit ton revien tit monde,
mais,prie pour moi, C`est trop tard peut autre un bonjour

What I hear is closer to your version than the others. But he aint real clear.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lyrics for Duralde Waltz? Help Howell Laleur!

yes you can leave the "un" than its much closer.

Thanks. I think Neal's version is closer, and the phrases's structure make more sense.
Merci quand même...:-)
