Francis Cabral - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

[cajunlaw]

Not really a translation - I am looking for a copy of the song as sung by Francis Cabral. He was one of the performers at the 2007 Festival International in Lafayette, La
http://festivalinternational.com/site.php
Invited by Zachary Richard with whom he had done a concert in Paris for the Hurricane Katrina folks, for his last song M. Cabral told the audience he would now sign a local favorite. All of us in the audience expected that he would sing a local Cajun French song but instead he sang a most beautiful rendition of the Country & Western song, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.
In French of course - took all of us a few seconds to realize what he was singing - it was great.
Unfortunately no recording was allowed and I am looking for that song.
Does anyone know if he has ever recorded this?
Might have been a one time thing.
The memory is there (a magical moment) but to have a copy would be best.
Thanks

Francis Cabrel made a french version of the beautiful Nelson's song and the title is "Yeux bleus pleurant sous la pluie".

This song is only available on his last best-of (3 CDs) called :
"Francis Cabrel - L'essentiel 1997-2007".

The song you're looking for is on the
track number 16, disk number 2.

Jeff - Bien merci - you have made my day - and weekend - the CD is on order and I cannot wait for it to come in. As I said my memory of the moment is great but this will be even better.
Hope you get to make the Festival International on day - drinks are on me.

Glad to be of help to a Cajun.
