Story Behind the Song
This song is sung by Claudette, Tami, Julia, Sandy, and Laurie.
Translation:
You had some, you won't have any more.
Some potatoes, and some cracklin's,
Couche-couche and some clabbered milk,
And rabbit skin stew.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
What's left is for my sweetheart.
I was in the pasture
To shoot my gun.
I fell on my butt.
I hurt my back.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
What's left is for my sweetheart.
You had some, you won't have any more.
Some potatoes, and some cracklin's,
Couche-couche and some clabbered milk,
And rabbit skin stew.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
What's left is for my sweetheart.
I was in the pasture
To look for my dear little calves.
I climbed on the fence posts.
I hurt my back.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
You had some, you won't have any more.
What's left is for my sweetheart.
Lyrics
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Des patates, et des gratons,
La couche-couche et du caillé,
Et la bouilli d'la peau d'lapin.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Ça qui reste est pour mon neg'.
J'étais dans la savanne
'Charger mon carabine.
J'ai tombé sur mon go-go,
J'ai fait du mal au dos.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Ça qui reste est pour mon neg'.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Des patates, et des gratons,
La couche-couche et du caillé,
Et la bouilli d'la peau d'lapin.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Ça qui reste est pour mon neg'.
J'étais dans la savanne
Chercher mes chers 'tits veaux.
J'ai monté sur les poteaux.
J'ai fait du mal au dos.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
T'en as eu, t'en auras plus.
Ça qui reste est pour mon neg'.
