These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'suis né dans un bar au bord d'un marécage
I was born in a bar on the edge of a swamp
Par une nuit de lune fine
On a thin moon night
J'ai appris à marcher dans le fond d'une barque
I learned to walk in the back of a boat
Contre les crosses d'une carabine
Against the butts of a rifle
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
Je peux lire futur dans les entrailles des tatous
I can read future in the bowels of armadillos
Après j'essuie le sang sûr mes jeans
After I wipe the blood safe my jeans
J'étais dans les meilleurs à l'école de vodou
I was in the best at vodou school
Des sorciers noirs de new orléans
Black wizards of New Orleans
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
J'ai le cœur dur comme de l'alligator
I have a hard heart like an alligator
Celui qui sèche dans la court
The one who dries in the court
J'en mange un peu
I'm eating a little
Je danse autour
I dance around
On dit que c'est bon pour l'amour
They say it's good for love
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
En parlant de ça, j'suis pas un phénomène
Speaking of which, I'm not a phenomenon
Mais je me débrouille pour plaire
But I manage to please
J'ai mon beau costard pou les fins de semaine
I have my beautiful suit on weekends
Quand peggy met sa robe légère
When peggy puts on her light dress
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
Et je danse je danse sur la terre que j'aime
And I dance I dance on the land I love
Celle que si gagne sur la boue
The one that if wins on the mud
Et je marche je marche dans la belle lumière
And I walk I walk in the beautiful light
Verte du bayou
Bayou Green
Et je danse je danse sur la terre que j'aime
And I dance I dance on the land I love
Celle que si gagne sur la boue
The one that if wins on the mud
Et j'avance j'avance dans la belle lumière
And I advance I advance in the beautiful light
Verte du bayou
Bayou Green
J'suis né dans un bar au bord d'un marécage
I was born in a bar on the edge of a swamp
Par une nuit de lune fine
On a thin moon night
J'ai appris à marcher dans le fond d'une barque
I learned to walk in the back of a boat
Contre les crosses d'une carabine
Against the butts of a rifle
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
J'suis né dans le bayou
I was born in the bayou
