Complainte pour Ste. Catherine [English translation]
Complainte pour Ste. Catherine [English translation]
Me, I walk along Ste Catherine
Getting the warmth from the Métro
I don’t look through the shop windows
When it’s thirty below zero
We’ve been in politics for a long time
Twenty years of war against the mosquitos
I don’t feel intrepid
When it snows I don’t go skiing
I don’t have a motel in the Laurentians
Sunday night is hockey night
We’ve been in politics for a long time
Twenty years of war against the mosquitos
Don’t think that I’m an fool
Because I don’t drive a convertible
The glory is fairly useless
At the price of gas it’s too distressing
We’ve been in politics for a long time
Twenty years of war against the mosquitos
We’re all brothers ’cause we make
sure to always have a good time
Because we’re on the earth of men
And women and children as well
We’ve been in politics for a long time
Twenty years of war against the mosquitos
Don’t believe that we’re not Christians
On Sundays we walk our dogs
