Now playing on my French song playlist:

Title: L’air de la Louisiane
Songwriter: Jesse Winchester
Performed by: Jimmy Buffett

Lyrics I like:

Toi et moi ne parlons pas
En suçant de la canne
Pour un instant
Je suis content
Dans l’air de la Louisiane

Translation:

You and I don’t talk
While chewing on sugarcane
For an instant
I am happy
In the air of Louisiana

In remembrance of American singer-songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, who passed away on September 1, 2023, I’m listening to his 1988 recording of this song, which features backing vocals by another music legend, James Taylor. The song was written and originally performed by Jesse Winchester, who used to open for Jimmy Buffett.

I like to listen to songs en français, so I won’t forget the French I learned in school.

Enjoy the week ahead!
