And then, all in a sudden,
Mama stopped her singing and dancing.
For you see, she noticed
that the music had stopped
right in the middle of the song.
And she noticed,
that the people had stopped
their dancing
right in the middle of the dance.
And everyone was just standing
and looking and smiling at
Mama and her baby and Papa too.
Even the little children
had stopped their playing and
dancing.

Everyone in the whole maison
looking and smiling
with their hands on their cheeks.
And they all seemed to sigh

at the same time.
And from that day on,
the Cajun people did not call their dance the ball de maison anymore.
No, no, especially the little children.
When it would come Saturday night,
or any time there was a dance to go to,
the little children,
they would tug on their mama's aprons
and say, Mama, Mama,

let's go to the Fê Dô Dô.
