[packmastertf]

On le major cajun! Languague is indifferent.  El major! The music swings!

[zerosk2]

l'homme, j'aime cette chanson. mais neg est un mot doux comme cher ou un miel, j'aime la cause de Louisiane sud thats ma maison

[NovakRau21]

Les paroles écrite ne reflete pas ce qu'il chante. Il y a un passage homophobe dans ses paroles.

[viniboy514]

@NovakRau21 j'aimerais que tu me souligne le passage que tu décrit comme étant homophobe car après une bonne revision du texte je n'ais pas réussi a cibler ce fameux passage homophobique

[786suns]

criss oui jai just 16ans mais c' est une bonne chansson en esty vive le canada hein!!!

[poppy78420]

je comprend rien mais je l'adore continuer c'est toujours un plaisir de l'ecouter

[gersman1962]

Neg means small not nigger. Petite neg is double negative or rather diminutive. Kanaks and other n's talk like that. And the song is not about 'taters. Potatoes. Rather losing your girlfriend.

[gersman1962]

Neg means small not nigger. Petite neg is double negative or rather diminutive. Kanaks and other n's talk like that.

Cajun Music est le meilleur du son dans le monde. Jimmy C Newman est impressionnant. Je vous souhaite de l'entendre en personne. J'ai aimé sa chanson "Boudin" retour dans la journée. Votons pour Jimmy C Newman à la présidence 2012.

[Romulien]

[landry1755]

Je la connais avec Hert LEBLANC cette version ,sans la mousse des Bayou

un vrai bonheur. vive la Louisiane et l'Acadie de notre cœur.

Arrêter de parler politique et aller boire une bière ou un coca à l'abri du soleil sous un arbre vous verrez ça détend merci

[alsheir]

On ne comprend pas grand chose / just hard to reconnize French words !

Mais c'est marrant/ but it's just fun !

J'aime / love it !

Est-ce que "lâcher la patate" a un sens particulier en cajun ? /what is the special meanning of "lâcher la patate" in cajun langage ?

Kind regards from France :o)

[Eurostarblues]

@alsheir Ne pas lâcher la patate, c'est comme garder la pêche. :o)

[BlackIroni]

All i can say is wtf. I am french Canadian and don't understand half of this

[BishopGarnier]

Excellent et continuez à chanter en français, version cajun.

Vive la culture cajun.

[michellelynnt30]

[guilloryjosephine]

damn i love this song

[borntobewildpascal]

esti qu'jaime ste music la !!!!!

[Ironbudokan]

I am also from Cajun Country. New Iberia, in fact. So you can stop your historical revisionism. There are a LOT of racist people down there and they have no intention of changing. So stop trying to sugar coat your own history because those of us who lived there are NOT buying it.

[JAMRAND]

@Ironbudokan

You evidently dont know the culture or its history . Chook 55 is correct .

My nigger was used there centuries before hip hop picked it up. It was a term of endearment . While racism exist everywhere especially in the black community the cajun community was a melting pot of black indian and french cultures .

It wasnt untill the political parties decided to use race baiting as a means of getting elected that racial tensions increased .

Do you have something to share ?

[FalconSupreme]

@JAMRAND you are so right. This guy Ironbudokan is just rambling out of his "six" ! Louisiana has always seen a mixed culture. Creoles were a big part of that. "Chantez les bas" (sing it low) is their style et oui j'aime les Cajuns! I sure do like Cajun culture. And never forget we still enjoy the many variations of Cajun gumbo.

[jackconcrete]

@JAMRAND Bonjour, Le terme négre en français, aujourd'hui negatif, a été longtemps neutre comme il reste dans d'autres langues latines italien, portugais, seul le feminin négresse était vulgaire. Nota Bene le terme négre reste neutre même aujourd'hui si utilisé par des personnes ascendance africaine. En anglais le terme nigger me semble descendre assez directement du terme latin niger, nigra, nigrum qui signifie noir, black.

[ronmainemarine]

cest tri bein music. this is good stuff, I live in northern Maine and you can still find bands that play this music.

[cbook55]

the only time a cajun is prejudcie is when you are a lazy good for nothing, and you run your mouth about something you don't know what you are talking about, it is not a skin color, they were outcasts too just like black people, the cajuns were treeted pretty bad at one time in history by other mean spirited white men, and they still exsist, they were accually sympathetic towards black people because of it, so leave them alone, thanks.

[rysingstorm1977]

super marrant. moi je suis français, je travaille avec des enfants, on va l'apprendre, elle est trop bien cette chanson

[entoucas]

différent de notre acadien néo-brunswickois, mais tout aussi musical!

[montrealmeech]

lache pas la patate la louisiane

[pokechop79]

I left Louisiana in 2007 with some good memories of the festivals, the food, the cajun language, my lovely students, but I will also remember all the negative comments I've heard towards African Americans. Somthing I will never forget. Your history will always stay with y'all

[pokechop79]

Hey cajuntsunami, I taught French in Louisiana(Church Point and Lafayette)for nine years and I did witness a lot of racism from cajuns towards African american. And the "n" word like they call it, is very pejorative. If you use the expression "Mon neg" or "Ti neg" as en affectionate word, you one of the few! I haven't heard any cajuns use that word with a son or somebody close to them.

[corazonabiertoranch]

@pokechop79 I am Acadien et Creole, 29 yrs old and have ALWAYS heard "mon negr" as a term of endearment in both of my family.... mon negr means literally "my man" and used mostly for lil boys..... mon negre means "my negro" and could be considered racial. Type both into google translator and you will see there is a difference..... Cajun and Creole French are different than what is spoken in France but even google got the translation correct.

[vickienboni69]

@pokechop79

my uncle use to call me his ti negaless and my little brothers ti neg or he'd say come here mon neg "do this for me" means nothing bad my great uncle still uses these terms @ 94. Regardlee there are alot of racism crap either way. Besides French in school is nothing like ours. Even the french people i've met say ours is better cause we are cajun.

[guimondcm]

Merci pour la bonne toune !  Bonjour de Montreal, Quebec!

[Daturaparano]

Je trouve les paroles très drôles :) Ca fait plaisir de savoir qu'un peu de culture française demeure en Louisiane!!!

[brooks5510]

lol i dont have a clue what hes saying but the guy who wrote this is johnny rebel...and he does have some racist shit out there...so who knows

[ball6gunns]

lâche pas la patate........haaaaaa.....hiii­iiiiiii

[rabidowski]

Racist lyrics.

[cajuntsunami]

Not Racist at all! I am a proud 71 year-old Cajun, French teacher. The most endearing name that a Cajun used with his son was: "Mon Neg) or even (Petit Neg)! Take it to the bank! I picked cotton with Black neighbors many times!

Rabidowske, like good Cajuns say: "You don't know your onions" . I'I taught French, t Spanish and English. Please admit, you are wrong. I picked cotton from 6 years of age, with our black neighbors who owned the cotton farm next door.

Please stop your racist talk!

[ridgerunner721601]

@cajuntsunami It's just more libtard troublemakers grasping at straws and accusing whites of what blacks and mexicans are REALLY guilty of. Their rap garbage is more racist towards white people than anything put out by white musicians.

[ddboris]

@cajuntsunami ,wow!!content de voir qu'un Cajun continue la job de d'enseignement de francais..lache pas la patate!!!

bonjour de Montréal!!!!!

[myPinkAngelWings]

@cajuntsunami -Oh!Boy!-Music is supposed to stop all bounderies! Cant we just enjoy the music and singing without all this nasty name calling chat? I love all kinds of music,if it pleases me,I dont give a damn what color or creed they may be-if they make good music...that is good enough for me!Jimmie Rocks!!

[woglakapi]

@cajuntsunami Bien sûr que non, ce n'est pas raciste... Il faut juste connaitre un peu la culture Cajun pour le savoir :)

[cajuntsunami]

I am 200 % Cajun. Obviously, Rabidowski is not! If he/ she were, he would know that the dearest name a mother or father uses with their sons is to call them "Mon Neg and Petit Neg!" Just ask anyone 50 years or older. If you think it is racist, like the good Cajuns say: "You don't know your onions", or you are "all wet". I am a retired French teacher, also taught Spanish and English. So please admit, you are all wrong. Stop saying that! When I do sing a longs, I tald about this problem.

[rabidowski]

OK, fair enough, I'm not Cajun, just french. I know "neg" is short for "negre" which is french for "negro". I keep hearing these days African Americans find "negro" offensive. Can you explain?

[peroxideh2o2]

neg just means little boy, it's actually a term of endearment

[IAmCarlBitches]

@rabidowski There's no racist at all. Don't you even know the meaning of ''nèg''....Nèg is not an insult towards black people...It's the cajun way of saying ''son'' or ''fella''....

[ferkulat]

grande musician!

[korola399]

Hahaa xD

Viive les chansons francophonnes !

viive le quéébec :D

[RitalSoviet]

C'est incroyable de voir des Cajeuns réapprendre la langue de leurs ancêtres et nous rejoindre dans la Francophonie!

[Stefanochti]

Moi je suis Français et je comprends à peu ce qu'il dit : "Je suis pas marié, j'ai pas d'personne pour m'tiendre le fond d'culotte" :d.

[madmomo2007]

[Flick88]

this language sounds cool...but I can't understand a single word. The music is beautiful!

[joeyjonathan555]

What language is that?

[franktremb]

Cajun French

[0coincidences]

very well spoken cajun french at that... if he'd talking in a full out cajun fashion, nobody would understand a single word of what he says. i'm acadian and we use the same words but not as badly pronounced and people have a hard time understanding us.

[Kittielips]

Well, I can't think why....I exactly know what you are saying and I speaks proper English at that. What's up with 'em all?

Buenously nochingly yours,

Jennie.

[Kittielips]

Actually, for your information, it happens to be Shollox.

Thank you.

Jennie.
