Edith Butler - Allons Danser Colinda

[TheGringo300]

From what I've read, this is ACADIAN, as opposed to CAJUN, music.

Yes, I know Cajuns descended from Acadians, and the the word Cajun is derived from the word Acadian, but if I understand correctly, Acadians and Cajuns are distinct ethnic groups.

This sounds a lot like a lot of Cajun music I've heard.

Edith is a great singer.

[ENBATTA]

I named one of my daughters Colinda... after Gene Vincent's version. I've recorded this song too but it's not released yet.

[perplexitypeccable]

I grew up with this as my favorite Cajun song (I'm of Broussard extraction). My personal translation of the lyrics goes like this. "Let's dance, Colinda, Let's dance like we're glued together; Let's dance, Colinda, & make the old women angry. Let's dance, Colinda, Let's dance like we're glued together; Let's dance, Colinda, Your mother isn't watching."

[Pgase83]

She says: "Allons danser Colinda, danser collés Colinda, allons danser Colinda pendant que ton père n'est pas là"

If you listen carefully you will understand this old fashion french accent, vive les cajuns et la Louisiane.lol.

I'm 3rd generation Canadian. I don't understand what she is singing but it feels like home!

She's saying "come on and dance Colinda"

[ethicomm]

Kind of ashamed that I don't understand French better. In any case she's great!

[LakeArrows]

[fiugd]

Merci infiniment,que de souvenirs!!

[conniesmithfan]

Lucille Starr does a wonderful version of Colinda, part en anglais, part en francais. There are 2 versions of it here on YouTube, her recording, and a live version which she redid.

[LucilleStarrFan]

@fiugd C'est une chanson merveilleuse! I think that Lucille Starr's recording was the inspiration for all the modern recordings of this song, and you can hear it on YouTube. Be sure to hear the version by Lee Benoit and the Bayou Stompers, also on YouTube. It's a very modern Cajun recording. Does anyone know if Jimmy C. Newman (of the Grand Ole Opry) ever recorded this tune?

[bergilly2004]

C'est Cajun extrordinaire. Have you heard Rod Bernard's version? and his other hit (not so popular 'Fais Do Do' It's about a girl in Upalosa Louisiana (not sure of spelling)
