For the Mardi Gras Dance I'm getting dressed
Neat prizes can be won if you wear a costume
Carnival is the right time to celebrate
Dance laugh and sing, Lent is beginning
With my calf tail I decorated my hat
With what was left of its legs, I made a tie
With my ram skin I sew some shoes
And with what was left of its wool, I knitted a pair of mittens
With my pig skin I made a nice muff
In a caribou skin I made a scarf
Let's just say I look weird in my old bougrine (coat)
And the small striped skirt my grandmother gave me
With my Daddy tobacco pouch
I made myself a nice purse with some rooster feathers
From my grandfather shirt I made a cute hankie,
I ripped the collar and made a nice pair of laces.
