C'est L'aviron - Quebecois Song

[@4ataraxia]

M’en revenant de la jolie Rochelle, M’en revenant de la jolie Rochelle, J’ai rencontré trois jolies demoiselles. Chorus: C’est l’aviron qui nous mène, qui nous mène, C’est l’aviron qui nous mène en haut. J’ai rencontré trois jolies demoiselles J’ai rencontré trois jolies demoiselles J’ai point choisi, mais j’ai pris la plus belle. J’ai point choisi, mais j’ai pris la plus belle J’ai point choisi, mais j’ai pris la plus belle J’l’y fis monter derrièr’ moi, sur ma selle. J’l’y fis monter derrièr’ moi, sur ma selle J’l’y fis monter derrièr’ moi, sur ma selle J’y fis cent lieues sans parler avec elle. J’y fis cent lieues sans parler avec elle J’y fis cent lieues sans parler avec elle Au bout d’cent lieues, ell’ me d’mandit à boire. Au bout d’cent lieues, ell’ me d’mandit à boire Au bout d’cent lieues, ell’ me d’mandit à boire Je l’ai menée auprès d’une fontaine. Je l’ai menée auprès d’une fontaine Je l’ai menée auprès d’une fontaine Quand ell’ fut là, ell’ ne voulut point boire. Quand ell’ fut là, ell’ ne voulut point boire Quand ell’ fut là, ell’ ne voulut point boire Je l’ai menée au logis de son père. Je l’ai menée au logis de son père Je l’ai menée au logis de son père Quand ell’ fut là, ell buvait à pleins verres. Quand ell’ fut là, ell’ buvait à pleins verres Quand ell’ fut là, ell’ buvait à pleins verres A la santé de son père et sa mère. A la santé de son père et sa mère A la santé de son père et sa mère A la santé de ses soeurs et ses frères. A la santé de ses soeurs et ses frères A la santé de ses soeurs et ses frères A la santé d’celui que son coeur aime.

Beautiful rendition of this almost forgotten song ! Id love to see more Quebecois songs ! Cheers from Quebec !

[@norawallace6430]

Wonderful. Very lively and upbeat. I can see the country cloggers step dancing to this tune, well done. Loving the mandolin.

[@adamruzzo]

Thank you!!!

[@paderewskigold]

I'd be embarrassed to say how many times I've returned to this song. Love the percussion, too.

[@adamruzzo]

I’m happy to hear it! The percussion is very Québécois/Acadian traditional. Right on the kitchen floor type thing :)

[@paderewskigold]

Really? WOW! The way it's done here reminds me of an oar's slap against the water, only a super sped up repetition of it. @@adamruzzo

[@vallovesnature8449]
