about

In loving memory of our great uncles and grandfather: Wilton “Chal”, Jessie “Jakee”, Amilcar “Micket”, and Allenton “Beebee” Guidry. Our grandfather "Micket" would do a little hand beat and chant and tell us that he and his brothers (Chal, Beebee, Jakee) would sing that together. We took that idea and ran with it. The verses sum up the things they did growing up. Tony Daigle worked his magic on this track! Here is the

lyrics

Les Freres Guidry (The Guidry Brothers) (Maegan Berard, Laura Huval 2017)
(Please note that this in not “Proper” Parisian French…It is the spoken in the dialect that our ancestors spoke)
Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee et Micket et BeeBee

Battre et Jouer
Battre et Jouer
Battre et Jouer
Tous les journees

Boire et Fumee
Cuit et Fumee
Boire et Fumee
Tour Les Journee

Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee et Micket et BeeBee
Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee et Micket et BeeBee

Les Freres Guidry, Les Freres Guidry

Poser des briques
Travailler , sur les bateaux
Ye fait yeur vie

Tomates et cocombres,
Batailles des jardins
Chal et Beebee et Micket et Jakee

Mamas et Dardas, Mamas et Dardas
C’est dans la sang, Cour-a-eux
Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee, Chal et Jakee et Micket et Beebee

Chal et Jakee, Micket et BeeBee
Les Freres Guidry, Les Freres Guidry


English::
Fight and Play, all day long and play Bourre (card game)
Drink and smoke, cook and smoke, all day long
Lay some bricks, work on the boats, they made their living
Tomatoes and Cucumbers, Battle of the Gardens
Mamas and Dadas (Nicknames for two of our Guidry ancestors)
It’s in the Guidry Blood

In loving memory of our great uncles and grandfather: Wilton “Chal”, Jessie “Jakee”, Amilcar “Micket”, and Allenton “Beebee” Guidry.
