Quinn L'Esquimau [English translation]

Everyone wants his building

Higher than the clouds

His monument, his ship

Of always more floors

If it’s to climb to the sky

And see what’s behind

When Quinn the Eskimo arrives

He says that it’s enough to jump for joy

Everyone come

Everyone bow down

Nobody’s ever seen anything like the Eskimo Quinn

I admit some weaknesses

I don’t like it when you leave

Walking like a princess 1

That gives me power

I throw grain to the pigeons

So that they approach as well

But when Quinn the Eskimo arrives

All the pigeons fly to him

Chorus

The cats miaow like alarms

And the dogs begin to howl

The night fills with racket

But I know who to call

No one can get to sleep

We all tread on each others feet

But when Quinn the Eskimo arrive

Everyone sleeps in peace

1. J'aime pas quand tu pars marcher à ton pas de princesse - this means that 'she' is walking like a princess, not the singer! Although why this would give him power is a little unclear...
