about

This is a song Emmanuel Bouthiller sang while visiting the acadien village in Bertrand, N.-B back in 2020. We have since sung it everywhere we go and decided to mix it up with a first tune from the repertoire of Edmond Savoie (Évangeline, N.-B.) and two other reels from Firmin Mallet.

C'est une chanson qu'Emmanuel Bouthillier a chantée lors d'une visite au village acadien de Bertrand, N.-B en 2020. Depuis, nous l'avons chantée partout où nous allons et avons décidé d'ajouter un premier air du répertoire d'Edmond Savoie (Évangeline, N.-B.) et deux autres reel de Firmin Mallet.

lyrics

*Translation will follow

Chez nous y’avait fille que moi (bis)
Encore sur la mer il m’envoie

Dam didlia dl dl lam didlia dl lam
Dam da didlam didlidé

Le moulinier qui m’emportait (bis)
Il devint ’amoureux de moi

À chaque mot qu’il me disait (bis)
Disait ma mie embrassez-moi

Mais qui sait donc qui y dirait (bis)
Ce sont tous les oiseaux du bois

Les oiseaux du bois parlons t’ils (bis)
Il parle français latin aussi



Translation: Fille que moi "...Girl than me"

At home there was a girl, only me (x2)
To the sea he (father) sends me

(Mouth music): Dam didlia dl dl lam didlia dl lam
Dam da didlam didlid

The miller who took me away (x2)
He became 'in love with me

Every word he said to me (x2)
Said "My dear kiss me"

But who knows who would say ? (x2)
All the birds of the woods

Did the birds of the woods speak ? (x2)
They spoke French and Latin too
