Early Cajun Music: "Mon Coeur T'Appelle (My Heart Aches For You)" - Cleoma Breaux
It's one of the most enduring of the Cajun waltzes. Also known as "J’ai Passe Devant Ta Porte" or "I Passed In Front Of Your Door", it’s a sad song about the passing of one’s true love. This waltz is part of the canon of Cajun music, sung by probably every musician in Louisiana at some point. Often the first song learned by beginning Cajun accordionists, it is also often the first song forgotten by accomplished musicians. Author Raymond Francois says this is an old song and claims his father remembered it from when the Titanic sunk around 1912.
