Les Trois Accords - "Saskatchewan"

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 6 years 8 months 1 week ago

I've forgotten virtually all my French, but basically this song is about a (French) Saskatchewan cowboy whose girl was stolen by a guy from Regina. Then he does the typical cowboy thing: Drowns his sorrows in every bar he can find on the Canadian prairie. I believe the ninjas represent his anger.

Rough translation: (sorry it won't rhyme)

A fine Morning,
I went away,
To drive my cattle,
To Ontario...

I left my wife,
In Saskatchewan,
I told her soon,
You'll see a hat,
It'll be mine,
I'll be home,
You'll say "here's my husband"
"Back from the plains"

But upon my return,
my dear love,
had dumped me,
for a Regina guy.

I took my hat,
took my lasso,
and I drown my sorrow,
in prairies bars.

SASKATCHEWAN!!!
You took my wife,
She dumped me,
for a Regina guy.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
Since she's gone,
I'm a finished man.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
My horse gives me the cold shoulder,
My cows call me dude.
(N.T. "cows now say 'you' to me". i.e. familiar pronoun instead of the formal one)

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
I'll take my lasso,
And I'll drown myself.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife.

And sadly, I think the slow-mo ninjas are just ninjas.

Nice find KP, I hadn't even seen this vid before

Great song. Thanks for the sift.
