Lyrics
[Intro]
Down by the bayou, where the gators roam,
We dance to the zydeco, make ourselves at home,
With a jambalaya cookin' and a crawfish boil,
Cajun hearts beatin' in the Louisiana soil.
[Verse 1]
Grab your washboard, chèr, and your fiddle too,
We'll waltz 'til the morning, in the bayou dew,
Laissez les bons temps rouler, let the good times roll,
In the heart of Acadiana, where we find our soul.
From the swamps to the prairies, our spirits fly,
In the Cajun land, under the southern sky,
With a dance and a song, we celebrate life,
Through the joys and the struggles, through the peace and strife.
[Chorus]
Gumbo, étouffée, crawfish pie,
Allons danser, we'll dance all night,
With the accordion playin' and the shrimp on the line,
In the Cajun land, we're feelin' mighty fine.
With the bayou rhythm and the moon so bright,
We sway to the music, 'neath the stars' light,
In the Cajun land, where the spirit's free,
We live in the moment, wild as can be.
[Verse 2]
From Lafayette to New Iberia town,
We Cajun folk, we never slow down,
With a two-step here and a waltz or two,
In the bayou nights, our love stays true.
With the crawfish boil and the roux so thick,
Life in the bayou, it's a Cajun trick,
Through the swamps and the rivers, our heritage flows,
In every heart beat, the Cajun pride shows.
[Chorus]
Gumbo, étouffée, crawfish pie,
Allons danser, we'll dance all night,
With the accordion playin' and the shrimp on the line,
In the Cajun land, we're feelin' mighty fine.
With the bayou rhythm and the moon so bright,
We sway to the music, 'neath the stars' light,
In the Cajun land, where the spirit's free,
We live in the moment, wild as can be.
[Bridge]
Cypress trees and Spanish moss,
Every dance, a tale embossed,
In the flicker of the firelight glow,
Cajun rhythms ebb and flow.
With the zydeco beat and the fiddle's cry,
We raise our spirits, we reach for the sky,
In the heart of the bayou, where dreams are born,
Cajun life dances on, from dusk 'til morn.
[Verse 3]
Pass a good time, darlin', let's have no regret,
Underneath the stars, where the bayou and moonlight met,
From the crawfish traps to the rougarou's howl,
Cajun life is wild and free, ain't no need to prowl.
With the alligator's grin and the heron's flight,
We celebrate the bayou, deep into the night,
In the land of the Cajuns, where love runs deep,
In every dance and song, memories we keep.
[Chorus]
Gumbo, étouffée, crawfish pie,
Allons danser, we'll dance all night,
With the accordion playin' and the shrimp on the line,
In the Cajun land, we're feelin' mighty fine.
With the bayou rhythm and the moon so bright,
We sway to the music, 'neath the stars' light,
In the Cajun land, where the spirit's free,
We live in the moment, wild as can be.
[Outro]
So come on down, join the Cajun crew,
With a Fais do-do and a rendezvous,
In the heart of Louisiana, where the bayou flows,
We live and love in a Cajun pose.
