Tan patate-là tchuite

Lyrics - French Creole

(Louisiana creole folk song, U.S.)

Refrain
Et tan patate-là tchuite
N’a nannan li, n’a nannan li
Et tan patate-là tchuite
N’a nannan li, n’a nannan li

Tan même li dans chaudière,
Tan même li dans la cend’,
Tan meme li dans du feu,
N’a nannan li, n’a nannan li

English Translation - When Your Potato's Done

When your potato’s done
It’s time to eat it, it’s time to eat
When your potato’s done
It’s time to eat it, it’s time to eat

Whether it’s in your pan,
Whether it’s in your fire,
Whether in embers found,
It’s time to eat it, it’s time to eat
