about

Inspired by the call-and-answer folk song structure from Québec

lyrics

Moi, j’connais une belle fille /
Du sud de l'Ontario / [bis]
À reste dans une p’tite ville
Du Grand Toronto

[REFRAIN:]
Femme prospère
Fille d’enfer
Faut ben qu’tu gères
Tes affaires
Le p’tit cœur à terre
Et tes na na ni na nère
De paroles en l’air
Dans l'air pur et clair /
Ah, dans l’air pur et clair / [bis]

À reste dans une p’tite ville /
Du Grand Toronto / [bis]
Quant à moi, je réside
L’autre bord d’la Gatineau

Quand à moi, je réside /
L’autre bord d’la Gatineau / [bis]
Ah, mais à vient icitte
Étudier la psycho

Ah, mais à vient icitte /
Étudier la psycho / [bis]
Ça me fait réfléchir
Si chez elle, tout est beau

Ça me fait réfléchir /
Si chez elle, tout est beau / [bis]
J’aimerais l’emmener sortir
Mais elle me tourne le dos

J’aimerais t’emmener sortir /
Mais tu me tournes le dos / [bis]
T’es mieux de pas m’mentir
Quand t’as trop de boulot

T’es mieux de pas m’mentir /
Quand t’as trop de boulot / [bis]
Si j’te d’mandais d’partir
N’serais-tu pas en morceaux ?

J’te d’mande pas de partir /
Malgré qu’j’suis en morceaux / [bis]
J’préfère crever icitte
Loin du Grand Toronto


[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]

I know a beautiful girl from Southern Ontario
She stays in a small town from the Greater Toronto Area

[CHORUS:]
Prosperous woman, girl from hell
You must manage your things with your worn out heart
And your “na na na boo boo” empty words
In the pure, clear air, ah, in the pure, clear air

She stays in a small town from the Greater Toronto Area
As for me, I live on the other side of Gatineau

As for me, I live on the other side of Gatineau
Ah, but she comes here to study psychology

Ah, but she comes here to study psychology
It makes me wonder is all is well with her

It makes me wonder is all is well with her
I’d like to take her out, but she turns her back on me

I’d like to take you out, but you’re turning your back on me
You better not be lying to me when you say you have too much work

You better not be lying to me when you say you have too much work
If I asked you to leave, wouldn’t you be torn in pieces?

I’m not asking you to leave even though I’m torn in pieces
I’d rather die here, far from the GTA
