Dans le Nord canadien

in short, I love it

"Travailler c'est trop dur" is a song by a Louisiana farmer named Caesar Vincent, who never owned a car, getting around on horseback or on foot. When people saw him from afar, they chose to avoid him, knowing that he would start singing his old songs".

Travailler c'est trop dur
Et voler c'est pas beau
D'mander la charité
C'est quequ'chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis
On m'demande de quoi je vis
J'dis que j'vis sur l'amour
Et j'espère de viv' vieux


Moi je prends mon violon
Et j'attrape mon archet
Et je joue ma vieille valse
Pour faire mes amis danser
Vous connaissez mes chers amis
La vie est bien bien trop courte
Pour se faire des misères
Allons danser ce soir
Travailler c'est trop dur
Et voler c'est pas beau
D'mander la charité
C'est quequ'chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis
On m'demande de quoi je vis
J'dis que j'vis sur l'amour
Et j'espère de viv' vieux
Travailler c'est trop dur
Et voler c'est pas beau
D'mander la charité
C'est quequ'chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis
On m'demande de quoi je vis
J'dis que j'vis sur l'amour
Et j'espère de viv' vieux
J'dis que j'vis sur l'amour
Et j'espère de viv' vieux

...I didn't remember that I already had it in...2022
Well, I do so many recoveries ( 619 sur SC  ;D ! )and with Alzeimer helping I don't always remember what I've done

well but at the same time it's a different version

Good lord, I love this. Sounds like it would fit beautifully on a professionally procured folk anthology.

Downloaded.

It's always been great to have you as a member of Songcrafters as you always introduce us to music we wouldn't normally hear. You've done a terrific job with this song...you should consider moving to Louisiana and becoming a start of Cajun music.

Et je pouvais comprendre toutes les paroles sans traduction
