Re: Re: High Point Two-Step

Thank you, Blair and Mark, for your responses.

Mark, I don't find "Tortope D'Osrun" in either book, but will look into this further as it sounds interesting to persue/compare various versions.

Blair, thanks, I should have thought to ask you directly before posting. Tonight I discovered one verse of Cajun words/English translation of this song in the booklet supplied with Dirk Powell's DVD, vol. 1. I'll check with you for comparison to the version you sing.

Again, thank you, both!

Dale

Dale,
would you consider posting the lyrics to High Point Two-Step? It would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nicole

Re: Re: Re: Re: High Point Two-Step - words

Here are the words and translation as printed in Dirk Powell's instructional DVD, vol. 1:

O, tout les soirs, bebe
Moi, je suis la apres garder, mais, ayou toi t'as etait

Mais, moi jamerais que tu t'en revien, petite monde
Ouais, une autre, une autre fois avant je mourir.

Oh, every night, baby
I'm just there searching for where you have gone

Well, me, I am hopeful that you will come to me, my little world
One more, just one more time before I die.

Thanks!
