CASSE PAS MA TETE (Don't Nag Me). AKA - "Aie ye yaille, Adea, Cogne P'us su' ma Tete" (Oh It Hurts, Adea, Quit Thumping on My Head). Cajun, Waltz. USA, southwestern Louisiana. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB(Vocal)AABB(Vocal)AABB. Raymond François (1990) translates the title as "Don't Nag Me", noting the phrase is used locally to mean stop nagging or constantly worrying someone about a particular thing.
