Amadie |
| Voici une histoire |
| D’un homme cajun |
| Amadie Adouin |
| Etat son nom |
| Avec sa guitare |
| Et avec sa voix |
| Amadie Adouin |
| Etait le roi |
| Here is the story |
| Of a Cajun man |
| Amadie Adouin |
| Was his name |
| With his guitar |
| And his voice |
| Amadie Adouin |
| Was the king |
| In a town seperated by railroad tracks |
| When one side’s white the other side must be black |
| La sueur brulait |
| Dans ses yeux |
| Les blancs ont crie |
| N' arrete pas |
| Quand Amadie pouvait |
| Plus jouer |
| Il demandait a Celine |
| Son mouchoir |
| (The sweat burnt |
| In his eyes |
| The whites shouted |
| Don’t stop |
| When Amadie couldn’t |
| Play anymore |
| He asked to Celine |
| His handerchief) |
| Black were the tears Amadie Adouin cried |
| Tears a white handkerchief just could not hide |
| Les bois d’Arcadia |
| Ils sont morts |
| Au fond de la terre |
| Amadie s’endort |
| Mais si vous voulez |
| Ecouter sa voix |
| Demande aux Ricains |
| De la chercher d’en bas |
| (The forest of Arcadia |
| Is dead |
| Deep under the ground |
| Amadie falls asleep |
| But if you want to listen |
| To his voice |
| Ask the Yanks |
| To look for it from the bottom) |
| They ran right over Amadie’s vocal cords |
| Good old boys in a good ol' Model T Ford |
| Amadie took a walk by the railroad track |
| To the other side and he won’t be coming back |
| They ran right over Amadie’s vocal cords |
| Those good old boys in a good old Model T Ford |
| Amadie took a walk by the railroad track |
| To the other side and he won’t be coming back |
