Lyrics
The lyrics, originally in French, have been re-imagined, with this version in English, which we love!
The original French lyrics :
Maman m’a dit
Ne fais pas ça
C’est interdit
C’est pas comme ça
Mais si j’veux sauter sur mon lit
Ou me cacher dans mes draps
Je l’veux, c’est moi, Eva
Eva, va te coucher, Eva
Eva, va te coucher, Eva
Et si tu continues comme ça,
Ca va se gâter pour toi, crois-moi
Maman m’a dit
Il fait trop froid
Eva, mets tes habits
T’as rien sur les bras
Et quand elle a fini
Je ressemble à l’homme des neiges
J’peux plus bouger, c’est moi
Eva, Eva, Eva....
Et quand les parents sont partis
J’ plonge les doigts dans l’chocolat
J’dirai que c’est pas moi
Story
What a joy to share this incredible surprise moment of a crazy evening at the Boogy & Lindy Festival!
This song performed live by the Toulouse group Echoes of Harlem was a real surprise for Anna and all the joyful and magnificent dancers of the festival, in the superb atmosphere of the Trac l'école hall!
Composed by Anna before her stroke, for shows for young audiences, this song was performed on stage and recorded by the Le Monde d'Eva show team / Album here / CD on request here
This song in swing version, rearranged and performed in English, is inspired by the version of American group Hot House West to discover here.
