Here is the song Lois sang
J’AI PASSÉ DEVANT TA PORTE (Cajun French)
(aka MON CŒUR T'APPELLE)

J’ai passé devant ta porte,
J’ai crié, "By-bye la belle."
Y a personne qu’a répondu,
O ye-yaie, mon cœur me fait mal.

Je m’ai donc mis, oui, à observer,
Moi, j’ai vu une petite lumière allumée,
Y a quelque chose qui me disait
J’aurais pleuré,
O y’yaie, mon cœur me fait mal.

Quand j’ai été cogner à la porte,
Oui, ils ont (r)ouvert la porte,
Moi, j’ai vu des chandelles allumées
Tout autour de ton cercueil.
I WALKED PAST YOUR DOOR
(aka MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU)

I walked past your door,
I called out "By-bye, beautiful girl."
Nobody answered,
O ye-yaie, my heart aches.

I started, yes, to observe/have a closer look,
I, I saw a little light on,
Something was talking to me,
I would have cried,
O ye-yaie, my heart aches.

When I went to knock on the door,
Yes, they opened the door,
I, I saw candles lit
All around your coffin.
