Re: Amédé Ardoin Two Step De Mama lyrics

Jordy, how in the heck did you do that? Or where did you get it? I'm a linguist in 3 different languages LOL, and even after seeing the lyrics you posted, which seem to match almost perfect, I'm still having trouble understanding Amede word for word when I listen along. Did you use a stethoscope? One thing is obvious, he did sing off the cuff and they seem to have spoken a different kind Cajun French the farther back you go in time. I'm going to take a stab at translating it to English to see if this guy was drunk or singing jibberish when he recorded. It's crazy! No wonder everybody that "borrowed" his music rewrote the words and changed the titles. I always wondered if when Amede walked into one of those farm houses to play a gig, did he say in his mind..."Wear da white women at?"
