Re: Ton Papa lyrics
Re: Ton Papa lyrics

"il avait tort" = "il a fait erreur". Turns out, his pronunciation of "erreur", where he only pronounces the "reur" part, really throws me off. It took quite some time to realize what he was saying. Thanks!

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

I will take a stab at the last line of verse 3:

Je connais pas, je méritais pas, mais observe là, vien avec moi

Slurring his words together. You can barely make out mais and vien, if that's what they are.

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

OK, WF, I can hear "il a faireur" now, a portmanteau word for "fait erreur". :smile:

I can also hear "J' connais pas j'méritais pas, mais ça il l'a fait avec moi" now, Neal is right.


Re: Ton Papa lyrics

Last sentence of the first verse ends with tit fille (I think)

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

Hey Melodorean are you also catmelodorean on YouTube? My spelling might not be right.

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

No, I'm not.

Catmelodeon is Peer and he's playing all kind of instruments and is a kind of a living juke box with thousand songs in him :blush: .

You're not the first one asking and I hope the mystery is solved now :joy:

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

Cool just checked out your channel I can't wait till I can play like that how did you get started playing? Did you do numbers videos or person lessons?

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

Thanks, but I only do my very best to get some music from that box :blush:
About twenty years ago I started with playing Cajun, which I know more than 45 years.
A copy of Steve Riley's first cd hooked me completely, because the accordion was so good to hear and the only thing I want was playing like that or something that sounds a bit familiar :smile: Later I became more interested in the more old style of Octa Clark, Ambrose Thiboreaux and nowadays Ray Abshire. Luckily there are in Louisiana young players who also play like the old masters :-)
Here in the Netherlands were about four or five musiciand wo play the one row and Cajun music. First I get lessons from one of them (Wim Nagtegaal/band Acadian Ramblers-Acadia) and I learn a lot from him. Besides that I bought the tapes of Dirk Powell (VHS) and I used a method of Nonc Allie Young (great example of the old school on LP with a booklet)
Later there became more and more vids on youtube and I use a slowdowner and recordings to figure out how to play this most wunderfull music :blush:
The biggest miracle was that I started dancing too :joy: and also the side-effects Creole/Zydeco were not bad :relaxed:
This is a nutshell story :relaxed:

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

Hey Melo sorry it took me so long to reply. Thanks for the slowdown idea I figured out how to do it on YouTube videos. It's pretty cool you're in The Netherlands how many times you been to The Hague?

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

I don't understand why you ask about The Hague ?
But in the past was there sometimes :-)

Re: Ton Papa lyrics

I asked about The Hague because I didn't know the name of the palace and I got them confused and also because I'm never going to see it in real life so I figured I'd ask someone who has seen it

Re: Ton Papa lyrics (the Hague)

The Hague is the third city in the Netherlands with 500.000 habitants.
In Dutch it's Den Haag or 's Gravenhage.
It's not the capital of our country, that's Amsterdam and Rotterdam is the second town and is also a big harbour.
The Hague is quite important (also in history), because our government is settled there and our King has his "house" there. It's a big house, but not really a palace.
Another building there is the "Vredespaleis" or Peace Palace.

Re: Ton Papa lyrics (the Hague)

That's it!!!!! Yeah I get them confused. Cool man thanks for clearing it up. Been watching your videos. And really enjoy them keep them going!
