It is the weekend, so we must sing! I sing that the Mardi Gras riders are on their way.
The Mardi Gras riders are on their way here. They come from everywhere, but mostly from Grand Mamou. Will you receive this gang of Mardi Gras riders? Will you receive this gang of great drinkers?
The Mardi Gras riders are on their way. They come from everywhere, but especially from Grand Mamou. On Ash Wednesday will be great sacrificers and penitents.
Axé.

I LOVED that! Thanks!
O good — I need Mardi Gras, too, I feel as though I had already done Lent. My favorite country celebration is actually not at Grand Mamou but at Petit Mamou: http://www.iotamardigras.com/main.html
One of these years I’m going to make it over to ride w/’em…
[My Lent has started early too]
