Les Mardi Gras s'en vient de tout partout
Tout le tour autour du moyeu
Ça passe eine fois par an
Demander la charité
Quand mĂȘme si c'est eine patate
Eine patate et des grattons
Les Mardi Gras sont d'sus un grand voyage
Tout le tour autour du moyeu
Ça passe eine fois par an
Demander la charité
Quand mĂȘme si c'est eine poule maigre
Et trois ou quatre cotons d'maĂŻ'
Capitaine, Capitaine voyage ton flag
Allons chez l'aut' voisin
Demander la charité
Pour les autres venez nous joindre
Pour les autres vous venez nous joindre
Ouais au gumbo ce soir

The Mardi Gras come from all around, all around the center of town.
They come by once per year, asking for charity.
Sometimes it's a sweet potato, a sweet potato or pork rinds.
The Mardi Gras are on a great journey, all around the center of town.
They come by once per year, asking for charity.
Sometimes it's a skinny chicken, or three or four corn cobs.
Captain, captain, wave your flag, let's go to another neighbor's.
Asking for charity for everyone who'll come join us later,
Everyone who'll come join us later at the gumbo tonight!

Here you go mate!

Had to do it myself. This is rough translation - Some words are directly translated so it might feel a bit off.
With this base structure you can just keep "Skweel" in eternity.
PiteÄ (Pite) is to say the least, a workingclass city and it's deeply rooted in tradition to be pessimistic.
There is great truth and great humor in the songs of EUSKEFEURAT as well as in the people who lived and in parts still, who live here.

LYRICS:

There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable
The VCR is broken
although it is but new
and the quarter i bought myself (refering to a quarter of vodka)
drank it did my son

There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable
the wife has done moved
moved in with a spaniard
and half of the furniture
she took with her when she left

There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable
the car has seized up
the (steer) axel is dislocaded (In lack of better wording)
and the cat she has died
and my summer cabin has burned down

There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable
The daughter is pregnat
after a love adventure
and as if that was not enough
it's the Swedish Employers' Confederation that rules / (are in charge)

There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable
but the worst is that my neighbour
spent a few bucks
and played on the horses
then won half a million



After talk:

That was an old folk'y melody from our home village. We are after all from a small villige outside (of this town).
That was a "Skweelar". In our village you do this specific meoldy and then you use
"There's so much that's woeful and there's so much that's miserable" and you tell about whatever ill deeds and mishaps might have happend to you.
This was Briger Larsson's Skweelar. Birger, he's kinda miserable, miserable.. He used to say "The only time I ever felt good was when I had a hell of a pain in my back and could stand leaning towards a warm tiled stove"
Yeeah.. She left him, Birgit.. but I don't think he was a spaniard.

Irish guy here, i hear some of my roots in this music it will never be forgotten

@StarsWithScars

but it is rooted to France as far as I know. But every folk musik share some similar traits I guess

@greyravyn8751

@Phillnsane Cajun culture owes heritage not just to the French but to the Irish, Scottish, Spanish, and Native Cultures as well as the Africans. Our Culture extends from many imm8grant and native cultures. Our roots extend from Nova Scotia or as we call it "Acadia" but al9ng the way from there to the Bayou many others influenced the heritage.

@jlc765

@Luc Blin Yes! He grew up speaking Cajun French. He didn't learn English until he went to school around age 5 or 6.
