Her: To find a good husband
A real man from here, laïrou
I went all alone
To my corn roast duty, laïrette
Him: I noticed you a lot
In Rivière-du-Loup
There was no brunette
As cute, as elegant as you.
When the red ear will be out
The one who loves you will kiss you.
Go quickly to the corn roast, roast
And you will find
A nice handsome husband who will love you
Now and forever.
To become a woman
Nice little Canadian girl
Oh! Just look around
And you will find
A nice guy
From Canada, oh yes!
Her: We piled in front of us
A lot of red corn, laïrou
And we chat
On the old spruce bench, laïrette
Him: I loved you and kept hoping
I thought I would be
The happiest man on earth
If you became my girlfriend.
When the red ear will be out
The one who loves you will kiss you.
Go quickly to the corn roast, roast
And you will find
A nice handsome husband who will love you
Now and forever.
To become a woman
Nice little Canadian girl
Oh! Just look around
And you will find
A nice guy
From Canada, oh yes!
Him: While looking everywhere
I suddenly found, laïrou
An ear, my dear Annette
Cherry red, laïrette
Her: You then stood up
And kissed me on the head
Showing in that moment to everyone
The cute soft red ear.
When the red ear will be out
The one who loves you will kiss you.
Go quickly to the corn roast, roast
And you will find
A nice handsome husband who will love you
Now and forever.
To become a woman
Nice little Canadian girl
Oh! Just look around
And you will find
A nice guy
From Canada, oh yes!
