Thanks Christian,

I'll do that, now I'm on broadband. The vocals are clear enough, but you know how proficient I am in French!

Great tune ! Are you going to learn it ?

Here is what I have noted (three words in brackets are not certain and need other ears - Bryan, t'es volontaire ?) :

Oh, Mama Lou,
Mama Lou t’es si jolie,
Oh, Mama Lou,
T’es la belle de tout (la baie).
Hé, Mama Lou,
Si tu danses des danses cadjins,
Oh, Mama Lou,
Toi tu les danses tous si bien.

Oh, Mama Lou,
Mama Lou, t’es si jolie,
Oh, Mama Lou,
T’es ma belle qu’est si (z’à part).
Hé Mama Lou,
Mama Lou, t’es si mignonne,
Oh, Mama Lou,
C’est toi qu’est (un petit ???).

I have just listened to it again (louder !).

Line 4, it's

T'es la belle de toute la VILLE.

Mais m'envoye la chanson et moi j'va l'assayer, j'su tout l'temps paré pour ça.

Merci, Christian,

I'll try it. Did you decide about Brittany?

BJ

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lyrics search

Wait a little more, a few words are still missing.
(I have sent the song to Bryan).

I will go to Brittany this week or next week to see what the accommodation is like first. Then I will decide. What about you ?

C'est parti !

Re: Re: Re: Re: Lyrics search

Man that is a great song!

I dont have much to add. I think in the last sentence he may be saying "C'est toi que j'aime autant", but I'm not sure. This would be a good one for Daniel.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lyrics search

Maybe also "que j'aime si tant" or "que j'aime si un tas". Yes, I'll send it to Daniel.
