Re: Lyrics for L'Anse aux Pailles

Two-Step de l'Anse Aux Pailles
Balfa Brothers

Oh, 'tit monde,
Travailler toute la semaine pour les hommes être payé.
Comment j'vas faire le samedi au soir?

Quand même j'ai pas d'argent,
moi j'v'aller rejoin ma 'tite fille.
Moi je connai alle peut avoir un tas, c'est là bâs L'Anse Aux Pailles.

Oh catin,
oublie pas viens me rejoin'. Moi j'su' là après espérer.
J'ai un sous dedans la poche.

Oh, little one,
I worked all week long for the men to be paid. What will I do Saturday night?

Even though I have no money, I'll meet my little girl. I know she has a lot, over there at L'Anse Aux Pailles (straw cove)

Oh doll,
Don't forget to come meet me.
I'm here waiting without a cent in my pocket.
