“Quebecois” french is not considered formal Just as the English consider American english sloppy Quebecois was considered “Farmer’s french” But the vibes of this song are the same in the 1050-60s Accordions are common in my region still! https://youtu.be/lO3u0HFDVoM?si=FiYwxYn2OmCDURyQ

First time I heard this, I had left a castle in Dinant and was driving through a tunnel of old trees in the rain. The first video is translated.
