LES GRANDS REGRETS
Music & Lyrics by LaFlamme

(Lyrics are in non-standard Cajun French)

J’L’AI RENCONTRÉ AU BAL PRÈS DE LA VILLE PLATTE
LES CH’VEUX BLOND COMME LE BLÉ, LES YEUX BLEUS COMME LE CIEL
ON A VALSER LE PLANCHER HIER AU SOIR
PI APRÈS AL A FAIT DES ACCROIRES
MAIS AUJOURD’HUI A VOULLAIT PUS ME VOIR

J’L’AI RENCONTRÉ L’AUT’JOUR À BAYOU PORTAGE
UNE BELLE GRAND BRUNE CONNUE DANS L’VOISINAGE
ÇA Y’ÉTAIT TOUTE UNE CRÉATURE
QU’Y’AVAIT DONC BIN LA TÊTE DURE
RENDU LA NUIT J’ÉTAIS APRÈS BRAILLER

MON VIEUX PÈRE M’A DIT TOUT L’TEMPS
LES CATINS SONT MIGNONNES MAIS EUX-AUTRES Y’AIMONT L’ARGENT
ASTEURE J’AI TOUT DEPENSÉ, Y’A PU RIEN QUI M’A RESTÉ
ALLE AI PARTIE, Ô PUS JAMAIS,
APRÈS MOI ÇA J’AI DES GRANDS REGRETS

J’L’AI RENCONTRÉ UN SOIR À LAFAYETTE
C’T’UNE JOLIE FILLE UN PEU CANAILLE QUI M’A CREVÉ L’CŒUR
APRÈS QUE J’Y FAIS DES CARESSES
PI QU’ALLE M’A FAIT DES PROMESSES
AUJOURD’HUI J’Y PENSE ET ÇA ME BLESSE

MON VIEUX PÈRE M’A DIT TOUT L’TEMPS
LES CATINS SONT MIGNONNES MAIS EUX-AUTRES Y’AIMONT L’ARGENT
ASTEURE J’AI TOUT DEPENSÉ, YA PU RIEN QUI M’A RESTÉ
ALLE AI PARTIE, Ô PUS JAMAIS,
APRÈS MOI ÇA J’AI DES GRANDS REGRETS

(Solo)

MON VIEUX PÈRE M’A DIT TOUT L’TEMPS
LES CATINS SONT MIGNONNES MAIS EUX-AUTRES Y’AIMONT L’ARGENT
ASTEURE J’AI TOUT DEPENSÉ, YA PU RIEN QUI M’A RESTÉ
ALLE AI PARTIE, Ô PUS JAMAIS,
APRÈS MOI ÇA J’AI DES GRANDS REGRETS

ELLE JE L’AI RENCONTRÉ AU FESTIVAL
UNE FILLE BIEN FAITE COMME Y’A JUSTE EN LOUISIANNE
MON CŒUR Y’ÉTAIT CASSÉ PI ALLE A RAMASSÉ
PI APRES ON S’EST EMBRASSÉS
LA BELLE PI MOI AUJOURD’HUI ON EST MARIÉS

Translation:

(I met her at the ball near Ville Platte
Her hair were blond as wheat and her eyes blue as the sky
We rocked the joint last night
And she made me believe
But today she wants no more of me

I met her the other day at Bayou-Portage
A pretty brunette from the neighborhood
She was a real hottie
But was a hard-headed woman
And the end of the night, she made me cry

My old man always told me
Women are pretty but they love money
Now that I spent it all
She's gone
All I'm left with are huge regrets

I met her one night in Lafayette
She was a coarse one and broke my heart
After I cuddled her
She promised me
Now that I think about it, it hurts

My old man always told me
Women are pretty but they love money
Now that I spent it all
She's gone
All I'm left with are huge regrets

I met that one at the festival
A curvy women like only Louisiana has them
My heart was broken but she put the pieces back together
And then we kissed
La belle and I are now married)
