La Grâce du Ciel

[davidnhvtme]

WOW!!!!

[Fitzgeraldtmarie]

I heard this song at the internment of a spry, fun-loving Cajun man Kullen T. this past weekend. I wasn't kin to this fellow, but when this song was played, you'd have never known. Amazing Grace is still Amazing Grace no matter what language you hear it, but it just seemed more bautiful in French....RIP Monsieur Trahan.

[CalipsoBLJ]

GOTT SEGNE DICH



[Crawdads72]

I'm 57 years old and I live in Bayou Pigeon, La. and I must confess it's hard for me to watch this without crying. American's can be very proud of these Cajuns and appreciate them for their importance and symbolism with a culture unmatched anywhere else in the world. These people, their lives and their history are to precious and important to be forgotten. The more I'm around these Cajuns the more I believe they are the happiest people in the world.

[MrDwaynehinton]

@Crawdads72 +++ Crawdads i have watched and loved this song maybe 30 times just this year. Truly a stirring song by these beautiful ladies... God Bless!

[jpjbr1009]

As a pureblooded Cajun who left home 40 years ago, my heart swelled with pride and my eyes filled with tears watching this. Thank you for a touching rendition in our native tongue of this most cherished hymn with the beauty of south Louisiana as the backdrop.

My grandparents made their life on Shell Island, below Morgan City...the area has almost disipated, so sad. He hunted and trapped for a living, and back then made a very good one at that.

[ExtremelyTiredDad]

The movie "little chenier" features this song, its beauty and honesty are incredible. As a resident of the gulf coast in Mississippi i occasion to come across many cajun people, The movie little chenier portrayed cajun folks in a positive light which is not often the case.........i was pleased to see their portrayal in their true light- decent, god fearing people

[dennyindc]

Thank you so much for this *wonderful* video-montage, CaptainJohn! This has got to be the greatest "Amazing Grace" ever, too --- I live in southeast Texas, where we're lucky enough to have a couple of Cajun music programs (if you know where and when to tune your radio), and people always call in and request Les Amies' rendition when they want to memorialize the passing of a loved one :-). Merci beaucoup! --- Steve

[loretta9639]

I am 66 year old woman from Kaplan Louisiana, the heart if Cajun Country. As a young girl I used to go to the Saturday dance with my grandparents. Then the parents & children danced together. I grew up to this music. It is great to see this music kept alive for this new generation. It was a totally different world in the late 50's.

[shabar26]

[crazytlg]

This is the greatest i have heard in years .Ilove my cajun back ground. we will stan out and make a different. God loves all but cajun more.

[jraw23]

This is the most Beautiful song sung in French. We played this song for my Father's funeral and I know it was one of his favorites. I knew then that my Father's suffering was finally over and He was resting in the palm of the Lord's hands.

[lccs187]

actually its either french Cajun or Canadian French

[tomind5]

As a french speaking canadian I can tell you that its cajun but its only an accent ;)

[lccs187]

ha word im from louisiana so i have a little bit of both in me

[chk2595]

This is the sound of angels before God and Man,Heaven and Earth.

Thanks you so much for sharing their talent.

[HolyTara71]

This is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL things I have EVER heard & seen in my entire life. Through my humble tears I want to say, "Thank You".

[EmpressUniverse]

This hymn has been my family's favorite for generations, and hearing it sung so beautifully and naturally made me grateful for the amazing grace of the singers and others who assisted in this work.

[ScooterNerd]

It's so sad to me that the Cajun culture is eroding just like our coastline. Much of the world is not aware that at one time in Louisiana Cajun children were punished if caught speaking French in school. And now it's being suppressed by sheer apathy. Thankfully, some carry it on in song...let's hope that never changes.

[NiteOwlSupplies1]

I am happy to announce that Caneview Elem. School in New Iberia, Louisiana teaches Cajun French. I think this is a wonderful thing. I always thought alot of this school because of things like this not to mention all the things they do with the children. Like Cajun Day with cajun dancing.

[kjnchef]

You need to come out to Festivals Acadiens et Creoles this weekend and witness for your self that our French Language along with our unique Cajun and Creole Culture is alive and well and far from being apathetic......

[PAIGEGALLERY]

Wow! This gave me chillbumps and tears. Very beautiful. I remember my great-grandmother (Memere) listening to Cajun music on the radio...it brings back such fond memories. Thanks! :-)

[aimcoach]

When will video be available? Thanks.

[Cadien123]

Musique Acadienne is working on making the video available for sale on a DVD. It will post information when it is available.

[aimcoach]

Just wonderful... the music, the pics... awesome! I want it to be at my funeral! How do we get it???

[Cadien123]

You can order the CD from Musique Acadienne. The video is not yet available. The song La Grace du Ciel is from the Les Amies Louisianaises CD La Musique Unique des Acadiens.

[Tinkerlove13]

Beautiful!!!!

[glycolady007]

Beautiful!! Made me miss my grandparent more, They spoke and loved the Cajun French language..Memories!!

[CaptainJohnSmith2]

[ltsinger7]

ltsinger7

What a beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace" in Cajun French! To hear that song, with Native Louisiana in the background makes the whole scene so peaceful and beyond description. This is my favorite hymn and always brings tears to my eyes and with this setting in Louisiana it makes it even more special! Thanks for taking the time to do the filming and put all this together for all to enjoy.

[stevent222]

I wish to thank you also and cannot put it any better then Itsinger7 just did. [whipping tears away from eyes now].

[cglrulez]

Simply wonderful!!! This will surely make displaced Louisianians homesick. I hope many have the opportubity to view it. I sent it to everyone on my contact list.

Thanks,

[ltsinger7]

Hi stevent222,

Thanks for the kind words about my comment on the song and video above, but we all owe it to the person that put this whole beautiful piece of art and music together! We don't see enough beautiful things like this!

ltsinger7

[Kicks001]

c'est bon

[Streamlion]

The only way left to pass on the french language to the younger generations is through the music.... nice work...

[Cadien123]

C'est bien beau !

[farmsis]

Je ça aime

[abear6078]

I just wanted to say How Proud I am of Everyone involved...from the Video Pictures to the Song in French...So Fitting of Louisiana and its Beauty...From the Bayous to the Swamps...Amazing Grace How Sweet The Sound...Simply Beautiful...Simply Beautiful..My Thanks are to you...Les Amies Louisianaises...Keep Singing...

[chelseabugz]

This video should make everyone in Louisiana proud. It made the hair rise up on the back of my neck as tears fell down my cheeks. My favorite song in the whole world in french. I am very proud this day.

[tcdiamond70]

Incredible! Thank YOU!!

[BrentAudi]

Fantastic!

[elvisaron08]

Hello first time I hear a version in French, I'm French & live in suburbs of Paris.

I really appreciate.

Many Thanks!!!

[Hatorah]

Voici notre interpretation au Quebec:

Grâce infinie, j'aime chanter

Qui un jour m'a sauvé

J'étais perdu, errant dans tous les lieux

Lorsqu'Il m'a retrouvé....

Mais, étant Acadienne du Canada, je préfère celle de mes soeurs Acadienne, bien sûr! :-)

[1957cajun]

Well same feelings here! My deceived Mom loved and sang this song in church(in English). I'm from Eunice and just recently went back to Cameron with one of my daughters to go fishing and really started missing LA then. I left LA for Texas in 1979 but I sure can't shake the coonass still in me. Thanks so much!!!

[morrowboy100]

Growing up 15 miles from Ville Platte. I grew up with the French influence..was a wonderful experience...I left Louisiana 34 years ago and although living and working in Northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border, I still consider Louisiana my home and my heart will always be there...this lovely song made the so homesick and near to tears...look forward now to my next trip HOME...fried catfish, gumbo and hushpuppies are waiting for me...can't wait to see my beautiful Louisiana once again...

[barney88pdc]

Ahh the basin. That opening pic that rises from the lillies looks just like th opening to the lil cove we take to go squirrel hunting near eagle point in Lake Faussie Point. And that rock bridge might be the one at Avery Island's Jungle Garden's by the Temple. If not it is just like it. I live 15min away :).

[chewbacca0901]

Okay, now I'm REALLY homesick! I moved away in 1990, and guess I won't ever make it back to stay. Should have married a coonass girl! ;o)

[shaloopydoo]

HA!  Don't let your wife read that! But, shhh, I'm in the same pirogue (boat).

[codegeassfreak321]

beautiful... so beautiful -in tears-

i've lived in Louisianna for half my life and never thought it to be as beautiful as i do now... funny thing is: i only looked up this song for a french project! =^.^"=

i love it

[chelle030362]

I think it is beautiful. Gave me goosebumps and reminded me of my mom who is no longer with us.... as this was her favorite song.

[ltsinger7]

Hi chelle030362,

It was also my Mom's favorite hymn and she's gone, so I get sad with tears when I hear it, as it reminds me of when we went to church together and when it was sung, we both would reach for each others hand! So, "Amazing Grace" does pull at the heart strings! So, I know exactly how you feel!

ltsinger7

[ednaj1]

I thought this was beautiful! Thank you for posting. I live in Louisiana and of course I think our state is special - thanks for sharing.

[artabr]

Thank you ;~)

[hoffpauirs]

I live here in La. and it gave me chills to listen and know that I live in this beautiful state.

[douceth]

This is the kind of things we should promote to show the world how beautiful the people and Louisiana really is.

[Hatorah]

Douceth: It's "the people" who really make "the place" ...and everywhere Acadians went/landed, the area became beautiful. Yes, I am conceited in who I am. Actually my mom is also Doucet, but you added a "h" at the end to anglicize the name which means "sweet" or "sugar", hence Dulce in Spain. Yes, that's where Acadians originated from before being in Southern France. I do serious geneology and I can send documents if you are interested. Before being in Spain, we came from Jerusalem.

[kschadler08]

Very beautiful. This video made me miss my home state.

[sassygirl500]

This is awesome. I know where all the different places are and the music is just beautiful. WOW love my Louisiana

[bayoustatehomes]

The Lord has risen, and has blessed Louisiana with beauty!

[sofysdad]

This video sent chills up my spine, and as a native Louisianan made me homesick. Thanks for sharing.

[nanamia35]

How could anyone listen to this and not know THERE IS A GOD AND HE LOVES US AND SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR US.?

[joshandbecca2003]

Absolutely Beautiful! The video is awesome too. Thanks for posting.
