Entre Matane et Bâton Rouge [English translation]

I closed my suitcase on this picture of you

where your back was turned and you couldn't see me.

I threw away the key.

I got in the car and put the radio

on a country station you didn't like.

I turned up the volume somewhere on the 20 road.

They played that tune, it made me feel good.

It reminded me of you, so listen up:

You can hit on all the girls you want

from Matane to Baton Rouge,

nobody will be awaiting you to cry out of love.

I won't be your mother nor your sister anymore.

I'll drive smoothly down the sea road

I'll be gone like a Gypsy

from Matane to Baton Rouge

I pulled over on the curb

The boys in the trucks waved to me

It made me feel good.

Wind blew dust on the roadmap.

I slided my finger far away from you.

THis is where I'll go,

driving my life, facing infinity

with no regrets, you were what you were,

I am what I am

(2x)

You can hit on all the girls you want

from Matane to Baton Rouge,

nobody will be awaiting you to cry out of love.

I won't be your mother nor your sister anymore.

I'll drive smoothly down the sea road

I'll be gone like a Gypsy

from Matane to Baton Rouge
