Here's another more recent song, quite beautifully sung by La Bande Feufollet and other young French speaking musicians in the schools of Louisiana.

Belle Louisiane
Written by Zachary Richard, performed by La Bande Feufollet

Belle Louisiane, je chante mon coeur pour toi
Terre des Cadiens, si riche et genereuse
Belle Louisiane, je chante mon coeur pour toi
Ouvre tes bras et serre ton cher enfant

J'aime tes bayous, tes prairies et tes bois
Les Avoyelles au bout de la terre bonne
Les habitants vaillants et accueillants
Belle Louisiane, je chante mon coeur pour toi

N'importe ou la vie va m'emmener
C'est dan mon coeur qu je te garderai
Belle Louisiane, je chante mon coeur pour toi
Ouvre tes bras et serre ton cher enfant

My translation (sorry it isn't better, what little French I used to have has drifted away over the years)

Beautiful Louisiana

Beautiful Louisiana, I sing (from) my heart for you
Land of the Cajuns (Cadiens) , so rich and generous
Beautiful Louisiana, I sing (from) my heart for you
Open your arms and (hold) tight your dear child

I love your bayous, your meadows and your woods
The Avoyelles (Creoles?) at the end of the good earth
The people (so) valiant and accessible (friendly?)
Beautiful Louisiana, I sing (from) my heart for you

It isn't important (It doesn't matter) where life carries me
It's in my heart that I will keep you
Beautiful Louisiana, I sing (from) my heart for you
Open your arms and (hold) tight your dear child

Avoyelleans:
Avoyelles Parish was settled by predominently direct French immigrants and their descendants.....long before the Acadians came to Louisiana, the ancestors of Avoyelles were settled here. The Avoyelles French settled first in Pt. Coupee and New Orleans, then made their way to Avoyelles by 1781...
