@jacksonbiscuit ...the thing is, I can't figure out what the first words of that verse are. He's talking about something that's buried in the grave and I get that it's a metaphor, so it wouldn't be just a corpse ; ) What I hear is « C'est la scène est enterrée dans cette tombe » ( Our scene/stage is buried in the tomb ) so the rest would be « .... chers enfants, enterre-nous pas avec l'etrenne et de l'argent / Accordez, accordez avec nous-autres / Accordez et jouez un air pour nous danser »

@VoyageTonFlag Excellent! I've been dying to sing this, but not offend the French at my music sessions!
...you don't happen to know the second verse, do you? It's no-where on the internet, or in my copy of the album.

La première de Novembre, la Toussaint
On se met tous ensemble
Mettre des fleurs sur les tombes
Pour rappeler et honorer nos ancêtres
Honorer leur travail et leur sagesse
