Our story comes from the
Louisiana Bayou. It's a Cajun story, and you can learn more about Louisiana and the rich Cajun culture
HERE.
The little song we sing is a French Cajun ditty. The lyrics are quite horrid but also funny:
Cajun French
Les maringouins l'ont mangé ma belle.
ils'ont resté de ses gros orteils
c’est Pour me faire des bouchons de liège,
c’est Pour boucher mes demi-bouteilles.
Et mon papa s'en alle mulet,
Et Ma maman s'en allait 'léphant,
Et Mon p'tit frer' sur un ouaouaron,
Et ma p'tit' soeur, sur un coin d'mon coeur.
English
The mosquitoes have eaten my sweetheart.
They only left her big toes
To use as corks now I suppose
And seal up my wine bottles
And my papa he went on a mule,
And my mama on an elephant,
My little brother he went on a toad,
my little sis on a piece of my heart.
