Subject: Eliza Carthy's french song about a cat.. From: GUEST,DaisyA Date: 08 Oct 01 - 05:12 AM Hi, can anyone tell me the title and lyrics to that song Eliza Carthy sings (in French) about a pussycat? I think it might be on Heat Light and Sound, or another earlier recording... Thanks Daisy |

Mon père m'a donné un mari
La première nuit j'ai couch' auprès lui
Je l'ai perdu dans la paille
Je l'ai assis sur une assiette
Le chat l'a pris pour une souris
O chat O chat c'est mon mari |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Eliza Carthy's french song about a cat From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Jan 02 - 05:12 AM OK, here's my rather literal translation, not meant to be singable: LITTLE MAN
My father gave me a husband.
The first night I slept with him, I lost him in the straw … I set him on a plate … The cat took him for a mouse … O cat, O cat, that's my husband … |
