Looks to be popular in Quebec but found this video that shows two people singing it at a festival that I have gathered is in France. So based on that I'm assuming there could be lineage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs5FXHzfUwo Folkways liner notes don't say too much either: “Le festin de campagne” is an invitation to a boisterous country feast, where passing the flask ensures another song -Lucas |

Le festin de campagne Chez nous ils ont fait un festin Un festin de campagne (bis) Ils ont invité les voisins Les parents de nos femmes Refrain Tout l' monde riait, pis moé j' chantais Et pis pan pan, du fun, il y en avait Y'en avait pour tout l'monde (bis) Pis v'là l' bonhomme de la maison Qui était pas mal en air (bis) Y nous a chanté une p'tite chanson A fallu faire chorus (Refrain) C'était le joueur de violon Qui était pas mal en air (bis) Y nous a joué un p'tit rigodon À quat' pattes sur le poêle (Refrain) Quand c'est venu vers les 11 heures On était tous à quat' pattes (bis) Il ne restait personne debout À part moé pis la chatte (Refrain) Voilà l' matou qui était jaloux De m' voir avec sa compagne (bis) Voilà qu'il me traita de fou Ça r'vira à la chicane (Refrain) Le composeur de cette chanson Y est pas ben loin d' vous autres (bis) Vous n'avez qu'à y passer l' flacon Y vous en chantera une autre (Refrain) Source: https://www.stlyrics.com/songs/l/labottinesouriante31999/lefestindecampagne1529277.html The recordings I found most often were by:

26 Oct 23 - 02:32 AM (#4186157) Subject: RE: Origins: un festin de campagne From: Monique It's a Canadian song. It's mentioned in this pdf doc by Moncton University. Here you have some notes about the meaning of some words/phrases. This song has been recorded in 1955 and by that time nobody in France would use the English word "fun" -now we do. Besides, "moi" (I, me) pronounced "moé"(mweh) is nowadays only used in Canada in colloquial speech AFAIK. It's the old pronunciation (11th to late 16th century) of the diphthong "oi" that has been pronounced /wa/ since that time. Louis the 14th was announced as "Le roé!" (kind of "rweh" with a rolled "r"). |

26 Oct 23 - 03:36 AM (#4186159) Subject: RE: Origins: un festin de campagne From: DaveRo How typical that the English-language 'lyrics' sites I found all messed up the accents. They probably copied each other, and the first one was pre-unicode. So I googled: "Le Festin De Campagne" "paroles" site:*.fr |
