Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

Christian, ton avis ?

Marc.

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

Thank you, Marc. Right now, my French is mostly from songs.

Hmm.. no perhaps I need to make a verse for you, Marc! :)

We're stuck at home because of a winter storm - very strange for this area. Good time to work on music.

animé?? I hadn't heard of that word. Had to look up in my La French dictionary, which says it means "spry, spirited". John, what were you trying to say there?

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

Hey Bryan. I'm trying to say that Jamey is busy (occupied) with a pretty girl over on Bayou Noir.



Occupé didn't seem to get the sense of it. Would that be more correct?

I've always been good at making new words to existing songs and enjoy it. Filks, actually. It's always a lot of fun to incorporate the folks you know into the words for songs at a fire/jam.

Ok, I've done a video, put it on youtube- would somebody please advise me how to post it on here?

Thanks

AJ, there may be other ways, but I do it by clicking on the "share" button, then the "embed" button, the check the "Use old embed code" box. The just copy all the gibberish in the box and paste it with your message in the forum post. When you paste it, it will be the whole gibberish, but when you hit "post message", it will embed the video.

John, "occupé" is the only word I know for "busy with", but someone more fluent than me may know more.

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

Thanks Bryan, will have a go later- you're right it is alot of gibberish, I'll put some time aside later to input it all.

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

You don't have to input it, just copy and paste the whole thing, should just take a couple seconds.

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

Thanks Bryan. I'll go with occupé then. Marc seemed a little unsure about my use of anime also.

Re: February 2014 Song of the Month - Bayou Noir - some lyrics for Ned and Jamey

"Animé" means "busy" in expressions like "a busy town" (une ville animée). Not in your example.

But X... may be "avec une fille", "occupé avec une fille", or "être après courir après une fille", or "après courtiser une fille". Several possibilities...
