A Song Sung In French

Ronnie Boettcher · Post by **Ronnie Boettcher** » 21 Aug 2011 10:09 pm

There is a song on youtube, that is sung in french. It is sung by Rheal LeBlanc, titled "II FAUT PARDONNER". Is there anyone on here, or can tell me how to get the words translated into English? I love the song, and would like to sing it. I have no clue as to what is being sung. Can anyone help me? Thank you, Ronnie

it's French from Quebec (?), so i'm havin' a bit of trouble w: some of the words
try to make do w: what i've posted Ronnie
Jean Guy Grenier on steel

title : One must forgive
1st verse :
Life is'nt always easy
but as i grew, i knew i had to forget
you did'nt tell me i should forget
All to often the past haunts me

Chorus
it's in the evening when i feel the pain
often i fall asleep crying
i know one day all will become
& i know i must tell you i forgive you

2nd verse :
will a day come when i won't hear i love you
it's the reply i hope to say one day
with patience it's gonna be "i'm leaving you "
That reply you're going to give it to me

Chorus :
It's in the evening that i feel the pain
often i fall asleep crying
i know one day all will become
& i know i must tell you i forgive you

Hey Monsieur Crowbear.

Rhéal Leblanc is not from Quebec. He may be insulted by that impression. He's an Acadian from Nouveau Brunswick (New Brunswick). I believe he hails from Bouctouche, NB.

Most Acadians are quite firm about their roots!!!!!

I'm half Acadian. My mother hails from a little town in NB called "Rosaireville" and I can attest to the local pride of the area. I also know that the "Quebecois" are equally proud and protective of their heritage. Nothing wrong with that, but mistaking one for the other is a "non-non." (sp?)

zut alors ! please forgive me for divulging my ignorance
honestly i could'nt hear/know Rheal's origins
when i hear the ol' french & the accents they have in Canada, they sound pretty much the same to me
i recognize the French that the Cajuns in Louisiana speak much easier
to me the French Canadians sound pretty much the same
so either i don't hear the nuances or just plain don't know the diffs between them & the provinces, burgs or parishes
nevertheless, since their roots all go back to France in Vendée, Normandy or Brittany, there pretty much the same
i guess it's where they settled that specifies them ?
to be noted that once France lost Canada to the English many Acadians headed (deportation) for the Louisiana territories : Cajun is derived from aCADIENS
y'a pas d'tracas - c'est la bonne place !

Bonne Homme Monsieur Crowbear.

Oui, "Cajun" is the way Acadians pronounce "Acdian".

I learned my french in Nova Scotia, but I had to drop most of it when I moved to Quebec.

Thanks for the input Crowbear.

Have a great day.

WOW. Thank you so much Crowbear. That song has been on my mind for over a year. Now I can try to learn the words. Yes, I agree that Jean Guy is a fantastic steel player. Have listened to everything he has on Youtube. Thanks again Crowbear.
