Elmore D
Enn'a qui d'hèt
Qu' mès ratayons
Pôrît fé 'ne hègne
So mès tchansons.
On t' va dîre çou qu' ti ravises:
Rahis'.
On t' va dire wice qu'i t' fåt mète:
Rikètes.
Ti dis qu' ti djowes
L' musique dès p'tits,
Mins avou l' tièsse
D'on fôrnoûri.
Qwant ti t' creüs è
Mississippi,
Tot l' monde veût qu' c'èst
Dè simili.
Houte di çoula,
Lès muzicyins
Qu' sont-st-avou twè
Sont tos' dès Flaminds.

Some people say
My forefathers
Could criticize
My songs.
We'll tell you what you look like:
2nd hand.
We'll tell you where you should be:
With the rubbish.
You say you play
The music of poor people,
But with the face
Of somebody who's bloated.
When you think
You're in Mississippi,
Everybody sees
It's nothing but a pose.
And what's more:
The musicians
Who play with you
Are all Flemish.
