Toune d'automne [English translation]

How's it going, little sister?

Come here so I can hug you

So, did you find happiness again

On your trip across Canada?

Over here, nothing much happened this year...

It was kind of boring...

I hope that at least it was fun out there

I'm proud you didn't bring me back

A brother-in-law from Alberta

That would have left me somewhat shaken

Swear to me that this time you're staying home... for good

Anyway I'm glad you're back

Your arrival coincides with autumn

You know, it really hurt me

To have to see you go, my dear

Here there's dad recovering from his small operation

You should have seen him, he was faking,

We had to treat him like a king

And mom spent all year worrying

Because of you...

As for me I decided

To stop being lazy

I'm starting university

We'll see how that goes

But you know me, I'm not motivated more than I need to be

That's nothing new...

Anyway I'm glad you're back

Your arrival coincides with autumn

You know, it really hurt me

To have to see you go, my dear...

I saw Simon last month

He didn't seem to be doing too well

He told me that you haven't called him

Since his birthday in February

If you don't like him anymore, perhaps you shouldn't lead him on

He's a good friend

And what about you, little sister

Are you still as lost as before?

Is everything still dark?

Or have you gotten back on your feet?

You know that life is full of little troubles

There's no need to worry...

Anyway I'm glad you're back

Your arrival coincides with autumn

You know, it really hurt me

To have to see you go, my dear

Anyway I'm glad you're back

Your arrival coincides with autumn
