Lyrics help - Dis Bye Bye A Ton Pap

Hi All,

Haven't been around in some time, but I have been playing every day.

I recently found a collection of songs on youtube by Nonc Allie Young.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV2wfoQvCy6HTcFBg41RYv14jx2fDcCZo

All on C-accordion and mostly unaccompanied and all very clean. Have a listen.

There is a song - Dis Bye Bye A Ton Pap - that caught my ear. Octa Clark also played it as La Valse des Grande Chemins.

Marc - some lyric help? I have about 60% of it.



Thanks much

More or less the same song as Iry sang in his 1952 recording of "La Valse Du Grande Chemin", based on the melody of Cleoma's "Waltz To My Grave".

My take using my ears.....

Dis "bye-bye" a ton pop
Et ta mom, chere,
Pour t'en 'venir
Pour m'joindre a la maison.

Chere tit fille, moi j'croyais
Donc jamais, chere
Fais d'rien donc pas que apres (pluerer?)

Dis bye-bye a ton pop
Et ta mom, chere,
Pour t'en 'venir
Pour m'joindre a la maison.

Chere tit fille, (.........)
Pour t'a fais, chere,
Fait souffert, eh tit coeur,
Qui t'aimait.


------------------

Say "bye-bye" to your dad,
And your mom, dear,
For you're coming along,
To join me at the house.

Dear little girl, I can't believe,
Never, dear
Nothing I'll do to make you cry(?)

Say bye-bye to your dad,
And your mom, dear,
For you're coming along,
To join me at the house.

Dear little girl, (...........),
For what you've done, dear,
Made me suffer, your little sweetheart,
That loves you.

.............après espérer.

4th verse
Chère tit fille, 'gardez donc
Quoi t'as fais, chère,
Fait souffert, un tit coeur,
Qui t'aimait.
