Réveille


Réveille, réveille,
C'est les goddams qui viennent,
Voler la récolte.
Réveille, réveille,
Hommes acadiens,
Pour sauver le village.

Mon grand-grand-grand père
Est venu de la Bretagne,
Le sang de ma famille
Est mouillé l'Acadie.
Et là les maudits viennent
Nous chasser comme des bêtes,
Détruire les familles,
Nous jeter tous au vent.

Réveille, réveille,
C'est les goddams qui viennent,
Voler la récolte.
Réveille, réveille,
Hommes acadiens,
Pour sauver le village.

J'ai entendu parler
De monter avec Beausoleil.
Pour prendre le fusil
Battre les sacrés maudits.
J'ai entendu parlé
D'aller dans la Louisianne
Pour trouver de la bonne paix
Là-bas dans la Louisianne.

Réveille, réveille,
C'est les goddams qui viennent,
Voler la récolte.
Réveille, réveille,
Hommes acadiens,
Pour sauver le village.

J'ai vu mon pauvre père.
Il était fait prisonnier.
Pendant que ma mère, ma chère mère
Elle braillait.
J'ai vu ma belle maison
Était mise aux flammes,
Et moi je suis resté orphelin,
Orphelin de l'Acadie.

Réveille, réveille,
C'est les goddams qui viennent,
Voler la récolte.
Réveille, réveille,
Hommes acadiens,
Pour sauver le village.
Réveille, réveille,
C'est les goddams qui viennent,
Voler les enfants.
Réveille, réveille,
Hommes acadiens,
Pour sauver l'héritage,
Pour sauver l'héritage,
Pour sauver l'héritage.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
