lyrics

Kristina Jacobsen & Sonya Heller; transl. Franzisca Manca

Place written: Ben Lomond, California

Down there on the Bayou
Parish Terrebonne
Crawfish Kate’s by daylight
Maison Dancer by night

Kate the waitress sweeps the floors
and gets the place just right
Come 8 o’clock puts up her hair
turns on the dancefloor light

Nois tenimos
Sas istòrias nostras
Lassade sos pistighinzos
Fora ‘e sa ‘ianna
Ca custu sero
Nuddàteru nos importat
Fintzas chi sa manu tua
Istringhet sa mia, ce soir!


[English translation to chorus:
We all have our stories
Leave your troubles at the door
Because tonight nothing else matters
Long as my hand is in yours,
ce soir!]

In walks Charlie Deverouxe
Lookin’ mighty fine
Girls lined up to dance with him
Nineteen to ninety-nine

You’d never know the world outside
Is heartless and gray
‘Cus the dancefloor lights are always on
inside Maison Dancer!

Nois tenimos
Sas istòrias nostras
Lassade sos pistighinzos
Fora ‘e sa ‘ianna
Ca custu sero
Nuddàteru nos importat
Fintzas chi sa manu tua
Istringhet sa mia, ce soir!

She sings in a yodeling alto that can warm your heart, bite off a searing denunciation, or celebrate good times with equal fervor. ... more
