Colinda was the cutest Belle in all the Bayou Land
And all the boys who saw her there, failed to win her hand
Maman she always chaperoned, she watche her night and day
Until Maman she turned her head and I heard her boyfriend say... 

(Chorus)

Allons danser Colinda?
Allons danser Colinda
Pendent ta mere est pas la
Pour faire faucher les vielles femmes
C'est pas tout le monde qui connais
Danser les danses du bon temps
Pendent ta mere est pas la
Allons danser Colinda

(Repest first verse)
 
(Chorus)
