Diamond Club, Toronto 1989.

He Bebette, danse avec moi
ce soir on fais dodo
danse avec moi, Bebette, oui
under the stormy sky

Papa, y a vendu la terre,
la terre et la vache
danse avec moi, Bebette, oui
under the stormy sky

Jean-Paul, il joue le violon
la belle l'accordeon
danse avec moi, Bebette
on this stormy night

I hear the whipporwill cry
I see the blue heron fly over
Sugar Hill, snowy white
big blue siren in the night
Come with me Bebette, we go
under a stormy sky

I hear the T.H.& B.
the diesel turning,
calling you and me
to the city of steel,
smokestack - spinning wheel
come with me Bebette, oui
under the stormy sky

My heart is sad
to leave Sugar town,
goodbye Sugar Hill
on this stormy night

He Bebette, danse avec moi
ce soir on fais dodo
danse avec moi, Bebette, oui
under the stormy sky
under the stormy sky
under the stormy sky

  • Magnifique chanson mélancolique que j'ai découverte grâce à Isabelle Boulay!

    Du coup, j'ai acheté l'album ACADIE ainsi qu'un autre à la musique suavement feutrée.

  • Great song from a great producer.

  • @MonogrammedMarxist it is written and performed by Daniel Lanois. Single from the debut album Acadie.

  • Very sad but great song...

  • I haven't heard this song since '97 - maybe once at a Starbucks! I've missed it so much! I found this song by luck doing a google search on the lyrics that I remembered. What is the origins of this song? It's so touching. I wish that it had a happy ending to it. The song sounds like a very old world song - like from 1900 0r preWorld-war-II.

  • Now Daniel Lanois lives retired from the world in ALaska

  • Heard it on the radio driving to the beach on Friday... love this song, brings back memories

  • Pour toi Ma jolie Louise (rien qu'à moi)

  • Brilliant!
