My dad was Cajun, I love this music! How I miss my dad, loved hearing him speak Cajun French to family and friends. 😢

There's something about that Voice, it's like I'm reminded of a place I've never even been to.

[@mavjimbo]

Very mesmerizing

[@phonicsville]

I grew up next to a country Cajun Bar. I heard this type of music nightly.

[@mavjimbo]

Lucky you

Do you happen to have access or know of a source of lyrics (like a songbook maybe) for songs Cleoma recorded? I'm looking for "Lulu's Back on Town". I have the English lyrics, but translating to this dialect and the version that Cleoma recorded has been difficult.

[@phonicsville]

sorry no

[@shellastic]

Here are the English translations of the French lyrics taken from Wade Falcon's blog post about Cleoma's record: Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed Gotta sew a button on my vest 'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best Lulu's back in town Gotta get a half a buck somewhere Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair Gotta get myself a boutonniere Lulu's back in town You can tell all my favorites All the blondes and brunettes Mister Otis regrets That he won't be aroun' Tell the mailman not to call Ain't comin' home until the fall And then again I might not get home at all Lulu's back in town earlycajunmusic.blogspot.com/2014/12/lulus-back-in-town-cleoma-breaux.html It was a Broadway show tune covered by Fats Waller and others. Cleoma sings it pretty straight. Here are her Cajun French lyrics for comparison: Mon j'ai pour avoir mon suit bien r'passé, Pour côde ain bouton sus mon gilet, Pace qu'a soir j'ai pour m' bien m' préparer: Lulu est r'venu dans l' village. J'ai pour trouver ain ciquante-sou en queque part, J'ai pour briller mes souiller, bien peigner mes chfeux, Pace qu'assoir j'ai pour m' bien m' préparer: Lulu est r'venu dans l' village. Ti peux dére à tous mes préférées: Mes blones et mes brunes, Que monsieur Otis regréttait Il etait pas à l'entour. Aw ti peux dére au postillion d' pas vnére; J'vas pas ête à la maison avant automne; J'vas peutête pas m'en r'venere ditout: Lulu est r'venu dans l'village.

Si la musique cajun n'existait pas, il aurait fallu l'inventer.

[@maximusmeridius1240]

Hello are you still there

Bonjour, il s'agit du film franco-italien "Ah les belles familles !" ("Le Belle Famiglie"), réalisé par Ugo Gregoretti en 1964.
