There is a French Canadian singer , Lucille Starr, who recorded this song back in the late 50's or early 60's. She recorded this song in English and French. Sometimes we hear this song on a FM station in NB late at night. Hope this is some help to you. VF

Allon danser colinda,
danser collee colinda,
tandis ta mere est pas la,
pour fais facher les vielle femmes

C'est pas tous l'monde qui danser
tous les vielle danse de vieux temps.
Allons danser Colinda,
pour fais facher les vielle femmes.

Let's dance Colinda,
dance very close Colinda,
while your mother isn't here,
to make the old ladies mad.

Its not everyone who knows
all the old dances,
Let's dance Colinda
to make the old ladies mad.

My French spelling isn't exact, and it loses something in translation, but this should give you an idea.

And another version:


ALLONS DANSER COLINDA

Allons danser, Colinda,
Allons danser, Colinda,
Allons danser, Colinda,
Pour faire fâcher les vieilles femmes.

Allons danser, Colinda,
Danser Collés, Colinda,
Allons danser, Colinda,
Pour faire fâcher les vieilles femmes.

C'est pas tout le monde qui connaît
Danser les valses du vieux temps,
C'est pas tout le monde qui connait
Danser les valses du vieux temps.

Allons danser, Colinda,
Danser Collés, Colinda,
Allons danser, Colinda,
Pour faire fâcher les vieilles femmes.


LETS DANCE COLINDA

Let's dance, Colinda,
Let's dance, Colinda,
Let's dance, Colinda,
And make the old ladies mad.

Let's dance, Colinda,
Dance close together, Colinda,
Let's dance, Colinda,
And make the old ladies mad.

It's not everyone who knows how
To dance the old-time waltzes,
It's not everyone who knows how
To dance the old-time waltzes.

Let's dance, Colinda,
Let's dance, Colinda,
Let's dance, Colinda,
And make the old ladies mad.

Contact Lee Benoit. He is a Cajun gentleman! You can get his e-mail address on line. When I contacted him, he e-mailed me the French words to this song, the English words, and even wrote out the pronunciation of the French words phonetically. No one does this song better than Lee. It would be nice if you purchased the CD that it is on, but it was not a requirement. Good luck. Bill

Geocities in the link above closed in 2009 but - story at JSTOR (Indiana University)
Lee Benoit lyrics .
I bet Marc Savoy would have the story, he loves telling stories.

Lee Benoit singing Allons Danser Colinda on YouTube Good dance music, you can see from the dancers.
