GUEST,A Creole Muur Jacomo finane? What does that mean? (175* d) RE: Jacomo finane? What does that mean? 05 Feb 08


Jacomo = joking/jester
fi na ne = finis/finished

All joking is done!
hence, the setting of flags on fire.

Don't know how this one fits in with the Jacomo. But FYI, Captain Jack is an indian who fought to keep the Europeans from their westward movement in stealing the indians land. As late as 1841, this land was the etats unidos de mejico. Even before that the indians fought the french for Louisiana & lost. The Louisiana Purchase was the selling of the forts and the roads leading up to it. When they illegally jacked the land, the indians/aboriginals took a stand to fight. The Washitaw Nation (Nat Turners descendants) in Louisiana have won their land back that was illegally caught up in the Louisiana Purchase.

Attempting to fit that in and knowing that in many languages there isn't a proper English translation. Maybe the line is Jack (Either Capt Jack or Jack being a symbol of all the indians) is finished playing with you. It's time to kill you.

The grandma's = Queens of each family (matriarchs) sat down to negotiate about the land. Couldn't come to a common ground and so the war to inihilate the other ensues. They send the Kings to battle. The man dressed in green is a loving machine. The indians practiced love, truth, peach, freedom and justice.

It's a war song. Before you go into war you fast. Hence, the timing with Lent: 40 days/40 nights.


Still putting 2n2 together from our history and folktales
