Mon chum Rémi [English translation]

bro, give me your keys

you're breaking the breathanalyser

you're way to hammered

to drive your car

the last call is over

there's no one left in the place

come with me, I'll pay you a coffee

in the restaurant next door

it's been a couple of weeks

that you're talking about shooting yourself

and you bring up your speeches

of depressed dude

but come on, don't be dumb

you have to learn to hang on

you know, those bad phases

they end up passing away

plus, I wouldn't have anyone left

I wouldn't have my old pal

who steals me cigs

when things go wrong at work

hey Rémi

don't do something stupid

I kinda like you

and you still owe me fifty bucks

the lights are on

the boss is counting his profits

the waitress is annoyed

maybe we should rush a bit

you know Rémi, me too

I come to ask myself

what is life good for

when things start to go wrong

and by moments I find

that it's not really easy

that we're really lonely on this road

in this absurd universe

but just go back home

you have a kid who loves you

that's a real good reason

to not go to the other side

as for me, I wouldn't have anyone left

I wouldn't have my old pal

the one that I beat every year

in hockey games

hey Rémi

don't do something stupid

I kinda like you

and you still owe me fifty bucks

instead of pulling the plug

on your goddamn lowlife

try to quit doing drugs

and make a man out of you

cause I want to find back

the old pal I used to know

but no one can help you

if you don't help yourself

the janitor is sweeping the floor

they'll lock the doors

let's smoke a last cig

after we have to get out

right before getting up

he ended up telling me

to not worry too much

and that we would.... try to get it together

hey Rémi

don't do something stupid

I kinda like you

and you still owe me fifty bucks
