Thank you all for dancing!

Hey everybody!
we would like to say thankyouthankyouthankyou! We won the Norbay music awards! We received a real plastic gold record that says: Dgiin, World. In our book that means we conquered the world, wahaha! Anyway, thank you all that voted for us as well as everyone that has supported us, come to shows, shared our music with others, danced and enjoyed our music. Like roots of a tree without the soil, there would be little viability in what we do without you, so thank you...

Hmmm, where to buy CDs...

Well, we sell them at every show, or we have some for sale at some music stores:

Back Door Records in Cotati
Incredible Records in Sebastopol
Kaya's Coffee Shop in Guerneville

We're working on getting them to Last Record Store in Santa Rosa, but they're not there yet.

La Pluie

La pluie qui tombe me murmure des poemes
Des p'tits mots doux presque de je t'aime
Elle m'invite a contempler ce monde
Et laisse toutes mes peines tomber en trombe

La pluie qui tombe elle elle sait que je l'aime
Me rince la tete et resoud mes problemes

Des masses de mots s'eccoulent et s'ammassent
La nuit me les rends et me les remets en place
Et pour juste un instant j'echape a ma demance
La pluie qui tombe me murmure des poemes
Des p'tits mots doux presque des je t'aime


The Rain

The rain that falls whispers poems to me
Soft words, almost love words
She invites me contemplate this world
And leaves all my pains falling to the ground

The rain that falls knows that I love her
Rinses my head out and solves my problems

Masses of words seep out and amass
Night gives them back to me and puts them in place
The black of the pit will give me back my presence
And for just a moment I escape from my madness

The rain that falls whispers poems to me
Soft words, almost love words



Ce Qu'ils Voient

Deux réveils
Pas un moment de lucidité
Une odeur de bouteille
Et le cerveau tout juste prêt a éclater
Je m'en reviens
D'un long détour vers le rien
Si navrant qu'on y perd tout ces moyens
Rester tel
Qu'elle nous y a placer
Savoir respecter l'ordre naturel
Sans se faire porter par la société
Tout en confiance sans la moindre méfiance
Ne pas s'adonner a la vengeance
Et dire que tout ça ne change pas
Ne changera pas
Juste parce qu'ils ne croient pas
Ne peuvent ne veulent ne savent pas user
De leur intégrité
Puisque chacun n'écoute que ce qu'il voit

De mon vivant
J'avais jamais rien vu de pareil
De plus lâche ni de plus décevant
Moi qui en ai vu des cas déchéant
Remonter dans le train
Reprendre la voix le parcours le chemin
Suivre sensiblement son destin
Toujours aller de l'avant
Il faut toujours aller de l'avant
Sans plus avoir de quoi me soûler
Mon esprit me reviens délabrer souiller et pourri
Par la cadence de mon oubli


What They See

Since waking up
Not a lucid moment
A smell of bottle
And my brain about to burst
I'm coming back
From a long detour towards nothingness
So sorry that we loose all our means
Remaining such as
She has put us there
Knowing how to respect natural order
Without being carried by society
All with trust without any doubt
Not giving in to vengeance
And to say that all this does not change
Will not change
Just because they do not believe
Cannot don't want don't know how to use
Their integrity
Since each only listens to what they see

Of my living
I had never seen anything as such
Nothing more coward or deceiving
Me that has seen some wretched cases
To get back on the train
Get back on the road the parcourse the path
Follow sensibly your destiny
To always go forward
We must always go forward
With nothing left to get drunk
My spirit comes back broken down soiled and rotten
By the cadence of my forgetfulness

A Fleur de Peau

A fleur de peau
Au son du matin
La couleur de la pluie
A l'espoir de demain
Accroché a tes drapeaux
Je vole les couleurs de mon chagrin
Pour accomplir nos lendemain
Je te donnerais mes os, ma peau, mes larmes, ma fureur,
Ma douleur, mon chemin

'A fleur de peau' is an expression meaning something that barely touches you
The skin's grazing

To the skin's grazing
To the sound of the morning
The color of the rain
To tomorrow's hope
Attached to your flags
I fly/steal (the word 'vole' has a double intended meaning) the colors of my sorrow
To fulfill our tomorrows
I will give you my bones, my skin, my tears, my furry
My pain, my path


La Jument de Michao

C'est dans 10 ans je m'en irais
J'entends le loup et le renard chanter
J'entends le loup le renard et la belette
J'entends le loup et le renard chanter
La jument de Michao et son petit poulain
Et passé dans le pres a manger tout le foin
L'hivers viendra les gars l'hivers viendra
La jument de Michao elle s'en repentira

C'est dans huit ans…

C'est dans six ans…

C'est dans quatre ans…

C'est dans deux ans…


Michao's Mare
This is a cyclical song about seasons coming and going. It is a traditional Breton (traditional from the French Britany coast)

In ten years I will leave
I hear the wolf the fox sing
I hear the wolf the fox and the ferret
I hear the wolf and the fox sing
Michao's Mare and her little foal
Went through the field and ate all the hay
Winter will come friends winter will come
Michao's mare will regret it

In eight years…

In six years…

In four years…

In two years…

It's a date!
