Re: Lyrics request - La Valse Criminelle

I mix some versions together whenever I do this one--but one version that no one has posted is what I remember from Rodney LeJeune whenever we recorded together for a cassette for the Texas Folklife Fest-

Moi j'su's ici moi tout seul, chere ti coeur, a la maison
p'us personne, ouais, dans le monde qui veut me soigner.

Moi, je voudrais, tu t'en 'rviens et m'r'joind' une autre fois
pardonner pour tout ca toi tu m'as fais.

He used this same verse twice in the song.

Re: Lyrics request - La Valse Criminelle

And here's what I get on Octa Clark's version

Tu m’as pris d’la maison
Comme un pauve orphelin
Garde-donc ‘oir quoi t’apres faire avec moi.

Tu m’as promis, catin,
De m’soigner pour tout ma vie,
Au jour dhui j’sus moi seul,
Apres pleurer, eh hah.

Re: Lyrics request - La Valse Criminelle longest waltz ever :-)

Now we have to play only one waltz during a gig, because it takes the whole gig before and after the break.
Thanks all of you

Re: Lyrics request - La Valse Criminelle longest waltz ever :-)

One thing for sure, this "simple" music dosen't inspire any simple answers. I had no idea how many dramatically different versions could exist. Thanks again to all for the help.

Ron, play all night, stay a little longer, takeoff your shoes, throw 'em in the corner...
