J’ai Passé

COUNTRY: United States
LANGUAGE: Cajun French

“J’ai Passé” is a well-known traditional Cajun song from Louisiana. It’s the sad tale of someone who goes to visit a true love but finds the love has passed away. FUN!

Lyrics of the All Around This World version:

As I walked past your door
I called out your name
No one answered me!
Oh yé yaille! nobody came.

J’ai passé devant ta porte
J’ai crié, ‘Bye-bye, la belle.’

I cried because I knew then
I won’t see you again.
