Louisiana Songtext

von André Aucoin

Way down south in Louisiana
Lives a people french like me
To everyone they're known as cajin
But to me they're family

The cajins came from Nova Scotia
In seventeen hundred and fifty-five
They all stood as proud acadiens
In that deportation line

REFRAIN

Woh oh oh, Louisiana
We share dreams and memories
We share dreams and memories

Some returned to start old over
Some remain there to this day
A common thread tie us together
From 2000 miles away

Dans le sud de la Louisiane
Vit un peuple français comme moi
Les Anglais les trouvent étranges
Mais pour moi, ils sont de la famille

Woh oh oh Louisiane
On partage rêve et mémoire
On partage rêve et mémoire

Woh, oh oh, Louisiana
We share dream and memories
