O ye yaie but remember
Baby (lit. little girl) all the fancies
the promesses you made me
you know I don't deserve that
you told me you loved me
darling but today
today, you want to leave me
but I know it hurts (lit. it does me bad)

O ye yaie but remember
Baby, all the promesses
the fancies that you made me
you know I can't forget
that you told me
darling, you'd have come
you'd have come (but) with me
Catin* at home

* I have no time right now to search if "catin" has a different meaning in Cajun. In France French it means whore, prostitute.
