FAIRE L'AMOUR Lyrics is an awkward but heartfelt Love Song in Cajun, which is far more than a dialect in either French or English...Deb Kuhl Wendt is working these lyrics for their Song, so that she can perform them...being that she speaks and sings French beautifully! ....

Faire l'amour is a Song in honor of the love my Dad carried for his dear second wife all of his days. She returned this love full-time and full-heart: and they were very happy for their time together...
My Dad was 'part Cajun'...which meant he saw himself as Cajun. period. That's the way in Southern Louisiana...
'Beb'..my Daddy called his Geraldine this. they were an old couple being in love. so she was his girlfriend in Cajun...they were amourex - in love... This is a song with the few Cajun phrases I vaguely recall....

Laissez les bon temps rouler!



FAIRE L'AMOUR


Ain? beb! dat don matta -
Don matta at all -
We went ro-day
Up and down de bayou...
All de day
Up and down de bayou...
Don matta, beb

Faire l'amour -
Dat is ma mama!
Ma sweet beb -
She is ma mama!
We went ro-day
bag daer on de bayou -
Don matta, mon cher,
not a'tall...

Da fais-do-do
ca c'est bon ca c'est bon -
Joie de vivre
ca c'est bon ca c'est bon -
Allons allons!
Joie de vivre!
Bon bon temp!
