about

Written by Ann Savoy

lyrics

C’était dessus un triste samedi
Un jour qu’a tout changé ma vie
Grand Dieu a eu un grand colère
A cassé Grand Isle avec sa mer.

La mer est venue dedans la nuit
Et elle a pris notre cher bébé
Nos larmes et cris ils ont tombé
Mais elle a continué a tout ruiner.

Dessus les planches de notre maison abimée
Parmi les morts on a flotté
Et puis notre seul et cher garçon
A été mordu par un serpent.

O, oui, Grand Dieu, on a été sauvé
Mais sans famille, avec plus d’esprit
Quand le Grand Dieu veut envoyer ses eaux
Écoutez, tremblez, tournes pas ton dos.

(Translation)
It was on a sad Saturday
A day that totally changed my life
God got very angry
And destroyed Grand Isle with his ocean.

The ocean came in the night
And it stole away our dear baby
In spite of our tears and cries
The sea continued on its path of destruction.

On the boards from our destroyed house
Among the dead we floated
And then our darling last living son
Was bitten by a serpent.

Oh, yes, God, we were saved
But without family, without hope
When God in his might wants to send his waters
Listen! Tremble! Don’t turn your back.
