Steve, I found a translation of the song into English. By Zachary Richard himself and much better than I could translate it. I suspect the Creole French dialect of South Louisiana might be difficult for someone from present day Canada or France to understand, as it has evolved pretty much on its own throughout the bayou country here since the mid-1700s. From the time of le grand dérangement as it is called.

And you are right...... Not a dry eye in our home when this song is played. Many parallels to the devotion my Step-dad had for my Mom. Both passed within 5-1/2 weeks of one another......

That is very moving all right. Thanks for the translation. Just downloaded the song, too.

Hope all is well.

In a sane world Bet Hart would be a mega-star. She has it all, voice, charisma and intensity. She sings this like her life depends on it.
