Festival also wouldn't be possible without some amazing sponsors, 00:01:56.860 --> 00:02:03.827 - both humans and organizations and businesses. And we want to thank a few of those folks right now. First, 00:02:03.827 --> 00:02:10.596 - the Lotus Scene Savers. Their names are on the back of your Lotus program. Those folks helped make the 00:02:10.596 --> 00:02:17.694 - Sixth Street Tent possible this year, which is great. And if you spent some, yes, absolutely. Tent is back. 00:02:18.178 --> 00:02:25.755 - Also want to thank the IU Arts and Humanities Council as well as Blockhouse Studios. And then we have 00:02:25.755 --> 00:02:33.183 - a few funders, grantors that have helped support the festival this year.

We give big thanks to them for helping make art and music, 00:02:59.209 --> 00:03:05.934 - tremendous world art and music possible here in Bloomington every year. Lotus couldn't happen without 00:03:05.934 --> 00:03:12.791 - them. And also, a quick reminder, Lotus has got a campaign going right now. They need to raise $100,000 00:03:12.791 --> 00:03:15.230 - between now and the end of the year. 00:03:15.522 --> 00:03:23.274 - If Lotus means the world to you, and you haven't been a sponsor and you haven't made a contribution, 00:03:23.274 --> 00:03:31.180 - do it now.

They'll find a way to help. Find ways to take your help however they can. So enough of that. Let us now 00:04:03.138 --> 00:04:12.535 - hear from this amazing trio of musicians. This ensemble is brought to you by the Friends of Old Time 00:04:12.535 --> 00:04:22.118 - and Celtic Music in memory of Jamie Gans. So yeah, put your hands together in memory of Jamie. So it's 00:04:22.118 --> 00:04:31.422 - my pleasure to introduce Timonde. Three remarkably accomplished musicians come together in Timonde. 00:04:31.586 --> 00:04:39.248 - a Louisiana phenomenon that's a creative fusion of classic country and out-of-the-way Cajun. With a 00:04:39.248 --> 00:04:47.446 - combined 10, count them, 10 Grammy nominations between these three members, Drew Simon, Megan Constantine, 00:04:47.446 --> 00:04:52.350 - and Kelly Jones, Tamanda combines influences ranging from early 00:04:52.802 --> 00:05:04.823 - country music, to old French and Creole ballads, to present day Cajuns. So put your hands together and 00:05:04.823 --> 00:05:16.611 - give a big Lotus welcome to Chamondi. Hello, thank you all so much. All right, hello. How's everyone 00:05:16.611 --> 00:05:19.646 - doing tonight? Hell yeah. 00:05:22.594 --> 00:05:28.407 - Good to be with y'all, we were here last night and good to be back with y'all this evening and yeah, 00:05:28.407 --> 00:05:34.278 - we're gonna play some Cajun music for y'all, some old country music in French and in English and some 00:05:34.278 --> 00:05:40.033 - ballads and invite y'all to dance. People were dancing last night, you know, don't be shy. Yeah, so 00:05:40.033 --> 00:05:44.350 - we'll start off with a little two-step something called the Bombay Bounce. 00:06:30.722 --> 00:06:39.269 - Et petit, moi je m'en va, moi tu serres à la maison J'ai plus personne pour m'aimer, comment tu crois, 00:06:39.269 --> 00:06:41.406 - mais moi je m'en va faire 00:07:24.450 --> 00:07:33.370 - et tu m'as promis que tu aurais venu à la maison pour me joindre mais aujourd'hui mes cadans là tu 00:07:33.370 --> 00:07:34.430 - veux vu moi 00:07:56.610 --> 00:08:04.874 - Et Timon, tu m'as promis ton revenu à la maison Et pour me joindre, mais aujourd'hui me gardons là, 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:06.494 - tu ne veux plus moi 00:09:09.122 --> 00:09:16.941 - Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. So how many of y'all were not here last night? Cool deal. Well, 00:09:16.941 --> 00:09:24.463 - this is Cajun music from South Louisiana, and we are Timond, and the word Timond is French for petit 00:09:24.463 --> 00:09:32.059 - monde, it's little world, and it's used as a term of endearment in a lot of Cajun songs, as my little 00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:38.910 - world, my everything. We said it in the last song, it meant my little world, my everything. 00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:48.091 - And we're gonna do another nice little waltz now. I'd like to feature over here on the rhythm guitar, 00:09:48.091 --> 00:09:56.524 - Mrs. Megan Constantin. Thank you all so much. Thank you. This next song is called La Valse de Tila. 00:09:56.524 --> 00:10:04.957 - And Tila was a young woman. Well, I don't know. I think that was her real name. And the songwriter, 00:10:04.957 --> 00:10:09.342 - Vin Bruce, wrote this about her. And he said, Tila. 00:10:09.954 --> 00:10:27.897 - I'm waiting for you at the chapel. I hope you come and meet me because a life without you is no life 00:10:27.897 --> 00:10:35.358 - at all. And a beautiful little love song. 00:14:11.714 --> 00:14:19.494 - Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. So how many of y'all have heard KJ Music before? Hey, a lot. 00:14:19.494 --> 00:14:27.351 - Awesome. Yeah, well, we're on a little bitty tour. We drove up, played in Birmingham on Thursday night 00:14:27.351 --> 00:14:35.437 - and played here last night and tonight, and we're headed back to Birmingham tomorrow. And then Lafayette, 00:14:35.437 --> 00:14:41.310 - Lafayette on Monday morning. Anybody ever been down to Lafayette, Louisiana? 00:14:43.298 --> 00:14:50.204 - Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. That's where we're from. And so, yes, good to be up here in the cold weather. 00:14:50.204 --> 00:14:56.910 - It feels good outside. I was saying last night, it feels good to wear a jacket, you know. It's nice. 00:14:56.910 --> 00:15:03.617 - It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. We'll do another nice little tune. I'd like 00:15:03.617 --> 00:15:10.656 - to make welcome Miss Kelly Jones on the fiddle over here. Yeah, we're going to do a little kind of bluesy 00:15:10.656 --> 00:15:12.382 - song that we got from the 00:15:13.570 --> 00:15:21.071 - archives at the university in Lafayette, but it's from one of the Lomax field recordings back in 1934, 00:15:21.071 --> 00:15:28.646 - a while back, but it's kind of a combination of two different field recordings, but this is called J'ai 00:15:28.646 --> 00:15:31.486 - vu le ciel, which means I saw the sky. 00:15:56.322 --> 00:16:03.294 - Yeah. 00:16:38.210 --> 00:16:48.800 - I saw the sheriff who was my protuco I asked him what he wanted He said to my sister I was his prisoner 00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:58.982 - I asked him what he was doing He said to my sister I had stolen nannas I hung my hair, his prisoner 00:16:58.982 --> 00:17:04.990 - But as a beautiful woman it was the best Oh I took the cat 00:17:09.122 --> 00:17:19.230 - Let me run and shout my name. 00:18:02.178 --> 00:18:11.791 - Thank y'all. A fun little one. As any of you, I've never seen one of these instruments before. 00:18:11.791 --> 00:18:22.011 - A few people. So this is a Cajun accordion. It's built in South Louisiana. These two have been built 00:18:22.011 --> 00:18:31.422 - for me some years back. And yeah, they're kind of like big harmonicas, right? It's the same. 00:18:31.714 --> 00:18:38.661 - theory behind it, push and pull. It's not like a piano accordion where you press one of those keys, 00:18:38.661 --> 00:18:45.748 - push and pull, saying this is different, push and pull. So it's very limited in what it can do. So we 00:18:45.748 --> 00:18:52.695 - do this next song by a great Cajun accordion player. I said last night there's a theater back home. 00:18:52.695 --> 00:18:58.878 - It's called the Liberty Theater in Eunice, Louisiana. And it looks pretty close to this. 00:18:59.234 --> 00:19:05.193 - Standing on the stage, it reminds me a lot of that. And so this is a little nicer, I do believe. But 00:19:05.193 --> 00:19:11.211 - they are trying to fix it up, so hopefully it can look just like this. But it's in Eunice, Louisiana, 00:19:11.211 --> 00:19:17.347 - where the guy who made that accordion lives. And probably the first place I saw this next guy who wrote 00:19:17.347 --> 00:19:23.660 - this next song, Play, was at the Liberty Theater. His name's Paul Daigle. He's a famous occasion accordion 00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:26.846 - player, great singer. And this song was written back, 00:19:27.618 --> 00:19:34.253 - maybe in the 80s, maybe in the 70s. It's called Chat Alain, which means my dear Alain is the name. And 00:19:34.253 --> 00:19:41.082 - my favorite verse says, if I was to run for president, my platform would be there would be no more Sunday 00:19:41.082 --> 00:19:47.845 - mornings. Every day would be Saturday. So you wake up, it'd be Saturday. So you can go to out that night 00:19:47.845 --> 00:19:54.416 - and have a good time and dance. Wake up the next morning, guess what? It's Saturday again. Keep doing 00:19:54.416 --> 00:19:56.542 - it over and over again. If only. 00:19:56.802 --> 00:20:02.827 - Hey, yeah, Groundhog Day. Well, yeah, it's a cool little tune and you don't hear it too much anymore. 00:20:02.827 --> 00:20:04.126 - Some call Shadowland. 00:20:30.146 --> 00:20:49.246 - And in the vases and the boats of the steppe Until the day is done 00:21:34.466 --> 00:21:53.150 - Every morning, Saturday, Saturday morning Every evening, Saturday evening with my dear Alain 00:22:15.586 --> 00:22:24.448 - Et je vais courir pour président si tu veux voter pour moi Si je gagne mon jet de première et fumer 00:22:24.448 --> 00:22:33.310 - du matin Tous les matins ça sera samedi, tous les soirs samedi au soir Tous les soirs samedi au soir 00:22:33.310 --> 00:22:35.134 - avec ma chère Alain 00:23:32.066 --> 00:23:40.110 - The one thing I do at the Liberty Theater, you can smell the popcorn. Is there popcorn here? Okay. I 00:23:40.110 --> 00:23:48.394 - see some popcorn. You can smell it. Before they fixed it up, they've been probably using the same batch 00:23:48.394 --> 00:23:56.677 - of popcorn stuff from the 80s. It's got that certain smell. It does. It does. All right, this next song 00:23:56.677 --> 00:24:01.854 - we're going to play is called the Newport Waltz. It's written by 00:24:02.242 --> 00:24:08.912 - a fellow named Dewey Balfa, Dewey Balfa, he was a famous fiddler, yeah. So this is the 33rd year of 00:24:08.912 --> 00:24:15.782 - this, right? He might have, I don't know, we heard his daughter, Balfa Toujour, played here some years 00:24:15.782 --> 00:24:22.585 - back, but Dewey was really one of the first ones to travel out of state and play festivals like this, 00:24:22.585 --> 00:24:28.988 - you know, for people sitting down. He played his whole life for people standing up and dancing, 00:24:28.988 --> 00:24:32.190 - you know, he wasn't used to people sitting down 00:24:32.578 --> 00:24:39.906 - and listening. But in 1964, he was invited to go to the Newport Folk Festival out in Rhode Island. And 00:24:39.906 --> 00:24:47.021 - before he went, he told a lot of his family and friends that he was going. And he said, why are you 00:24:47.021 --> 00:24:54.207 - going? You're going to get laughed off the stage. You're going to get booed. Why are you going to do 00:24:54.207 --> 00:24:59.614 - this? Nobody wants to hear Cajun music, French Cajun music in Rhode Island. 00:24:59.714 --> 00:25:06.637 - because he was opening up for people like Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, big Bob Dylan, you know, big folk 00:25:06.637 --> 00:25:13.358 - people at the time. And so he went anyway and he played, they played after their first song. It was 00:25:13.358 --> 00:25:20.348 - like a standing ovation of thousands and thousands of people. So he got, yeah, it was a very big moment 00:25:20.348 --> 00:25:27.742 - in our culture. And so he went back home and he said, you know what, if people in Rhode Island can appreciate 00:25:27.742 --> 00:25:29.086 - it, I think people, 00:25:29.378 --> 00:25:38.579 - down home should appreciate it as well. So he made this big revival of Louisiana French Cajun music, 00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:47.689 - and it's one of the reasons why we're here today playing in front of y'all right now. So yeah, it's 00:25:47.689 --> 00:25:55.614 - called the Newport Waltz. It's in French, and does anybody speak French? A few people? 00:25:57.090 --> 00:26:03.854 - Anyway, it's okay. We're not the songs. We're not singing about y'all. Don't worry But it says if with 00:26:03.854 --> 00:26:10.486 - you want to have a good time go to the Newport Folk Festival I had a barrel of fun and made a lot of 00:26:10.486 --> 00:26:17.184 - friends and it's a great place to go That's pretty much the gist of the song. But anyway, here we go. 00:26:17.184 --> 00:26:19.614 - Here's the Newport walls by do about 00:26:47.074 --> 00:27:03.838 - Oh, you go to Newport, to the festival Oh, you go to Newport 00:28:40.322 --> 00:28:51.038 - J'aimerais que tu l'éclates Si tu veux un bon tempo festival 00:30:14.210 --> 00:30:26.374 - Thank you, thank you, thank you dancers. Merci beaucoup. Yeah, we're gonna strip it down even more. 00:30:26.374 --> 00:30:39.024 - I know you guys have had a lot of bands with a bunch of people on the stage and we're already stripping 00:30:39.024 --> 00:30:43.038 - it down a little bit from those. 00:30:43.266 --> 00:30:52.208 - We're gonna do a couple ballads that we like to do. Megan and I like to learn these antiquated French 00:30:52.208 --> 00:31:01.326 - ballads from Louisiana, but we love them so much. This one is called Flambeau d'Amour, which is a flame 00:31:01.326 --> 00:31:10.093 - of love. And we got it from a woman named Alma Barthelmy. And there's lots of different versions of 00:31:10.093 --> 00:31:11.934 - this song throughout 00:31:12.866 --> 00:31:19.302 - the history of ballads. There's some French versions, some French-Canadian versions, and even versions 00:31:19.302 --> 00:31:25.612 - in other languages. And it's basically about a woman who, her father locks her in a tower. It's kind 00:31:25.612 --> 00:31:32.110 - of Rapunzel-esque, I suppose. He locks her in a tower so her bow won't court her, won't come court her, 00:31:32.110 --> 00:31:38.483 - her lover. And her lover walks night and day to be near the tower. She's locked in, and she sees that 00:31:38.483 --> 00:31:41.982 - he's walked himself to the brink of death. So she says, 00:31:42.498 --> 00:31:52.496 - I'm going to give you some of my, that's kind of cryptic, but sounds like an early failed blood transfusion. 00:31:52.496 --> 00:32:02.128 - Give me some of your blood and I'll run it with my healthy blood and I'll heal you. But it doesn't work, 00:32:02.128 --> 00:32:10.750 - surprise. And so then she asks for a white handkerchief to bury the heart of her lover. Yeah. 00:32:12.258 --> 00:32:26.675 - You know, I hate when that happens. So yeah. Flambeau d'amour. And it sounds as sad as it is. Unlike 00:32:26.675 --> 00:32:41.662 - the other songs that sound happy and are sad. C'était une fille de quinze ans Il n'avait pas trois mois 00:32:52.610 --> 00:33:16.126 - D'un bon matin, d'un grand matin, 00:36:29.602 --> 00:36:39.058 - Thank you so much. Bien merci. La prochaine, the next one is something called Goodbye, my Cher Ami, 00:36:39.058 --> 00:36:48.609 - and Goodbye, my Dear Friend. And it's one that we learned from Selena Guidri? No, Marie Lange. Yeah. 00:36:48.609 --> 00:36:57.214 - Marie Lange, a little girl on a playground. Maybe, I don't know how old she was, 12 maybe. 00:36:57.730 --> 00:37:05.645 - I think he said she was in like fifth grade or something. Yeah, playing on the playground and a folklorist 00:37:05.645 --> 00:37:13.116 - was there making recordings of people and she had this beautiful little song to sing for that person 00:37:13.116 --> 00:37:19.921 - and had the sweetest little voice and the first time I ever heard her sing I was listening, 00:37:19.921 --> 00:37:27.614 - I don't know, it was 2007 and I'm listening to these ballads on my iPod in my car and I had to turn off 00:37:27.810 --> 00:37:35.664 - the road, stop on the side of the road, and listen to it over and over again. The first time I heard 00:37:35.664 --> 00:37:43.518 - it, it was just so striking, her voice. And so we're so grateful for the archives that are housed at 00:37:43.518 --> 00:37:51.373 - UL Lafayette, the university there. And we get songs like this that link Louisiana back centuries to 00:37:51.373 --> 00:37:56.894 - Europe and beyond. And yeah, elsewhere. This is kind of a lot of y'all 00:37:57.090 --> 00:38:02.933 - probably play music as well, you're obviously music lovers, but there's a verse in this song that is 00:38:02.933 --> 00:38:08.892 - basically, it's in a lot of Appalachian songs and English ballads and probably other languages as well 00:38:08.892 --> 00:38:14.677 - that I don't even know, but the kind of classic verse of my horses aren't hungry and they won't eat 00:38:14.677 --> 00:38:20.694 - your hay and I'll be on my way, basically. And so this was in French and when we learned it I was like, 00:38:20.694 --> 00:38:26.942 - oh, interesting, you know. And almost the same phrasing, so. Yeah. Yeah, but I like to get nerdy like that. 00:38:27.170 --> 00:38:42.772 - We'll do two. We do. So yeah. Goodbye, ma chère amie. On va chanter premièrement. Yeah. Goodbye, ma 00:38:42.772 --> 00:38:57.150 - chère amie. J'ai venu te dire adieu. Je suis survenue aujourd'hui. C'est pas l'amour de toi. 00:38:58.050 --> 00:39:13.736 - Goodbye, my dear friend. I came to say goodbye to you. I'm sure that today, it's not the love of you. 00:39:13.736 --> 00:39:27.422 - From Seine to Cheval, and Melis to Zangar. In the nest of the eaten hay, sit next to me. 00:39:30.498 --> 00:39:42.142 - Oh, 00:40:23.746 --> 00:40:44.323 - J'ai bien dans l'esprit J'ai bien dans l'esprit Goodbye ma chale amie J'ai venu te dire adieu J'suis 00:40:44.323 --> 00:40:53.694 - survenue aujourd'hui C'est pas l'amour de toi 00:40:58.338 --> 00:41:05.854 - you. 00:41:49.026 --> 00:41:56.544 - Thank you so much. Once again, Kelly Jones and Megan Constantin. A little duet there. We got time for 00:41:56.544 --> 00:42:04.135 - a few more little songs for y'all. And about a year ago, we had our latest album come out. It's called 00:42:04.135 --> 00:42:11.579 - Petit Paradis, which is for sale under the little merchandise tent over there. We got some vinyl and 00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:18.654 - some CDs. So if you like what you hear, a lot of the music playing tonight is on those records. 00:42:19.810 --> 00:42:25.960 - The next one is actually on it, too. It's called the Black Bayou One Step. And we're getting Megan to 00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:32.170 - play the triangle over here. Or in Cajun French, we call it la tifade, which means little iron. A cool 00:42:32.170 --> 00:42:38.078 - little tune we learned from a guy named Anatole Crader. And it's called the Black Bayou One Step. 00:45:42.370 --> 00:45:49.497 - for dancing too, it really makes us feel at home. Absolutely. Thank you, thank you. Thank you all for 00:45:49.497 --> 00:45:56.554 - supporting this wonderful festival as well. This is our first time playing in Indiana and hope to be 00:45:56.554 --> 00:46:04.100 - back, you know. Yep, yep, yep. We have a very, thank you all. We have a very, probably the biggest festival 00:46:04.100 --> 00:46:11.646 - in Cajun and Zydeco Creole music in the world is next weekend down home in Lafayette, it's called Festival. 00:46:11.970 --> 00:46:18.158 - Acadia y Creol, it's always the second, yeah, second full weekend in October. And hopefully the weather 00:46:18.158 --> 00:46:24.584 - will be like this, but probably won't, but. It'll be a little quick, it won't be as hot, but. It's happened 00:46:24.584 --> 00:46:30.950 - before. It'll be dusty, but yeah. Invite y'all, if you ever have a chance to come down to South Louisiana, 00:46:30.950 --> 00:46:36.960 - come down in April. In October, those are the really good months with nice festivals and everything. 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.518 - We're doing a little tune that we recorded 00:46:39.842 --> 00:46:46.449 - On our newest album, it's called Je me suis marié. It's an old wedding song, people, which means Je 00:46:46.449 --> 00:46:53.056 - me suis marié means I am married. I got married. And it's an old wedding song. They would sing back 00:46:53.056 --> 00:46:59.597 - in the day. And it was actually a ballad when I first heard it by Dewey Balfour. And I just thought 00:46:59.597 --> 00:47:04.830 - it would be cool to put some music behind it. So here we go. Je me suis marié. 00:47:49.922 --> 00:48:00.661 - Je me suis marié et j'ai des grèdes dans l'âme de la femme que j'ai prise, oh la cruel élefante. 00:48:00.661 --> 00:48:11.294 - Elle va au cabaret, elle croit et elle s'en aime et qu'on a bien ses mots et elle est pas contente. 00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:45.091 - I washed it, I washed it, it shines like a star. And the girl is hungry, but she's not very happy yet. 00:48:45.091 --> 00:48:56.062 - She has a pinch of salt, but she doesn't see the earth. The plate is broken, but she doesn't see the nose. 00:49:19.906 --> 00:49:31.276 - Jean de la Compagne Prend des exemples du monde Ne laissez pas votre femme porter des pantalons En lui 00:49:31.276 --> 00:49:40.990 - donnant les pantalons Assurance en passant Assurance en passant Maîtresse de la maison 00:50:41.474 --> 00:50:48.342 - We got time for two more tunes for y'all, and we're gonna be here sticking around, seeing other musicians 00:50:48.342 --> 00:50:55.016 - after us. We'll do some, it's not on the set list, but you know what? I don't like to follow set lists 00:50:55.016 --> 00:51:01.496 - that often. It's more like a menu, not really a list, I don't like to follow it, I like to pick and 00:51:01.496 --> 00:51:08.105 - choose, but we'll do a song, it's back in the old dance hall days, you know, they'd usually be waltz, 00:51:08.105 --> 00:51:09.854 - two-step, waltz, two-step, 00:51:10.594 --> 00:51:18.257 - Back and forth like that and we're gonna do our last waltz of the night and it's probably been played 00:51:18.257 --> 00:51:25.770 - a lot of times as the last waltz because coincidentally, it's called the last waltz by Aldous Roger 00:51:25.770 --> 00:51:33.284 - and the Lafayette Playboys and the song says before you leave all I ask even if you're leaving with 00:51:33.284 --> 00:51:39.294 - somebody else just just give me that last dance to dance with Another happy one 00:54:50.370 --> 00:54:58.618 - Thank you so much. Well, we got time for one more song. Thank you so much for coming, and we hope y'all 00:54:58.618 --> 00:55:06.628 - had a good time tonight. There's so much amazing music here this weekend. Thank y'all for coming and 00:55:06.628 --> 00:55:14.797 - joining us for our set. We really are glad to be here, and we hope to come back. We've had a beautiful 00:55:14.797 --> 00:55:20.190 - time. And once again, Megan Constantin on rhythm guitar and vocals. 00:55:21.442 --> 00:55:30.166 - Thank you so much. Kelly Jones on piddle and vocals. Oh, and Drew Sima on accordion and vocals, everybody. 00:55:30.166 --> 00:55:38.402 - Thank you, thank you. Merci beaucoup. So one thing we like to do, we like to take old country music, 00:55:38.402 --> 00:55:46.311 - and if we like it, to maybe translate it to French. If it fits with the accordion, good. If not, 00:55:46.311 --> 00:55:49.246 - oh well. I'm going to do it anyway. 00:55:49.890 --> 00:55:55.736 - for the next three and a half minutes and hope you like it or not. So this is a tune we learned from 00:55:55.736 --> 00:56:01.699 - a Louisiana musician, country musician, Webb Pierce. Webb Pierce was a country musician in the 50s and 00:56:01.699 --> 00:56:07.719 - 60s and did a song called I Don't Care. Ricky Skaggs recorded it later on and we recorded it some years 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:13.565 - back and half in French and half in English. So hope you enjoy it. Thank you all so much again. Hope 00:56:13.565 --> 00:56:15.070 - to see you all next time. 00:56:50.018 --> 00:57:03.976 - So I'll be the last. I don't care if I'm not the first one you kiss. Darling, I'll never ask. Yesterday's 00:57:03.976 --> 00:57:12.798 - gone, just love it from now on. True to me, forget about the past. 00:57:19.938 --> 00:57:24.254 - on just so I'll be the last 00:58:16.674 --> 00:58:40.446 - My dear, don't ask. Yesterday, when I loved you for a long time, I forgot the past. 00:58:48.578 --> 00:59:18.366 - Yesterday's gone, just love me from now on 00:59:19.682 --> 00:59:35.551 - I've forsaken all others in the past For I don't care if I'm not the first love you've known Just so 00:59:35.551 --> 00:59:47.806 - I'll be the last Oh, yes indeed. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for dancing. 00:59:48.930 --> 00:59:51.966 - Merci beaucoup, you'll have a good night. We are Timon.
