I Want To Love You

I want to love you but how
Can I love you if I don’t see you?
I want to love you chaste or nearly so
Like priests who don’t marry
Cloistered nuns saving themselves
For a good old God who’s hiding
I want to love you, of course I dream of it
But how do you expect it to work?
 
I want to laugh off the proverb
Which says out of sight, out of mind
To say it’s wrong, it’s harsh
That it’s just meant to scare us
I want to go to sleep every night
Cuddling up to no one
With your body in my memory
As a granny mourns her man
 
I want to love you until I believe
In the potential advantages
Of mixing both our stories
In an everlasting rerun
I want to see off all these dangers
Which won’t play to our advantage
And then win the chance to see you
Two short days or two short hours
 
I want to love you
But how can I love you
If I’m not there?
To wrap you in my care
And comfort you when things go wrong, yes, (if things go wrong)
I want to love you from afar
My heart full up with your great emptiness
To cherish you with love and pain
To love you for nothing, tears in my eyes
 
I want to love you, but to be honest
I can’t hold solid if I don’t see you
I’m like a blind person without a white stick
Or guide dog, and without your arm
To cross this street
They call the ocean
To cross, but to get to you
There’s no rainbow big enough
 
I want to love you, of course
In any case, do I have a choice?
I’m trapped, I’m lost
Turning in on myself, I love you already
Even if I feel I’m wearing myself out
Seeking you with outstretched arms
In this terrifying maze
Too complicated and too twisting
 
I’m going to love you, even if all this
Leads nowhere, is impossible
And I’ll believe in it like others believe
In the Baby Jesus and the Bible
I don’t know yet how
I’m going to love you if I don’t see you
But I’m going to love you, that’s a promise
Do you hear what I’m telling you now?
 
I’m going to love you…
I’m going to love you…
 

If You Love Me

Versions: #1
Today I understand the value of having you here with me, isn't it1?
When I've lost everything, and she's won in advance, yeah
I can't blame you, yes I screwed around, yeah
When you've given me all you had, and I was giving it to someone else, hey
Now she's taken my place
I watch you move on with your life, I'll have to live with it
I looked right through you, I even forgot all about you
The wheel has turned, turned, wham in my face
Yes with you I was cruel
I find myself with my regrets all alone face to face with myself
In all this the evil is me, it's myself
If you love me, 'ouh-ouh'
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
It's you and me without her and that's all, yeah
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
Don't tell me that it's too late and forget everything, forget everything, yeah
Karma played its role
We know what we lose, but never what we find
Since then I spend my days on IG
The two of you it looks stable I could even give you a 'like'
And when I imagine the two of you, I feel hatred
Look me in the eye and tell me to my face that you love her
I'm sure that it's just a band-aid
That deep down you don't think so
You've done all this out of pride
But I'm lying to myself
I can clearly see that you're happy, and that you've found everything in her
Love, passion
All that I wasn't giving you
Gentleness, attention
We reap what we sow
She's made you forget me, it wasn't complicated for her
Today I find it hard to admit that I'm losing you
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
It's you and me without her and that's all, yeah
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
Don't tell me that it's too late and forget everything, forget everything, yeah
Follow me I run away from you, run away from me I follow you, oh
Follow me I run away from you, run away from me I follow you, oh
Follow me I run away from you, run away from me I follow you, oh
Follow me I run away from you, run away from me I follow you, I follow you, oh
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
It's you and me without her and that's all, yeah
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I'd like you to come back to me, ouh-ouh
I didn't want us to lose each other, ouh-ouh
Don't tell me that it's too late and forget everything, forget everything, yeah
Forget everything, forget everything, eh
Forget everything, forget everything, baby
Forget everything, forget everything, eh
Hey, yeah.
Hey, hey
He-he-hey, hey
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
 

• 1. French lyrics sound to me like 'eh' (which could be translated as 'isn't it?'), not 'yeah.'

My Independence Day

Ssshh, listen
These are the voices of species
That are extinct
Fight for them and for yourself
Make this day
Your Independence Day
You dress so bizarre
Why don't you clean your room?
I don't like the tatoos
Of the guy you're dating
This belly-button piercing
This class of friends
Watch out or you'll do drugs
That would be our disgrace
What kind of wrong people meet each other
I'm not like they think I am
It's the man with his rules
While he kills whales
While he makes war
On the whole planet
But one day I'll be fed up
I'll grow wings
And I will go through the window or the door and it will be.
It will be, it will be, it will be, it will be, it will be
My Independence Day
It will be, it will be, it will be, it will be, it will be
My Independence Day
You better tell me
If you're still a virgen
I wouldn't forgive you
What would you aunts say
You don't have a voice and no vote
Until your 18th birthday
And you shut up and obey
Because I like it that way.
What kind of wrong people meet each other
I'm not like they think I am
It's the man with his rules
While he kills whales
While he makes war
On the whole planet
But one day I'll be fed up
I'll grow wings
And I will go through the window or the door and it will be.
It will be, it will be, it will be, it will be, it will be
My Independence Day
It will be, it will be, it will be, it will be, it will be
My Independence Day
 

If you love me

Today I understand the value of your presence, yeah
When I lost everything, she won in advance, yeah
I can't hold it against you, yes I screwed up, yeah
When you gave me everything, I gave it to someone else, hey
Now she took my place
I'm watching you make your life, I'll have to get used to it
I didn't calculate you, I even zapped you
The wheel has turned, turned, bim in my face
Yes with you i was cruel
I find myself with my regrets all alone facing myself
In all this the evil is me, it is myself
If you love me, ouh-ouh

Since I spend my days on Insta '
You two, it looks stable, I could even like you
And when I imagine you, I hate
Look me in the eye, and tell me in the face that you love him
I'm sure it's just a bandage
Basically you don't think so
You did it all out of pride
But I lie to myself
I can see that you are happy, and that you found everything at her place
Love, passion
All I didn't give you
The sweetness of attention
You reap what you sow
She made you forget me, it was not complicated for her
Today I find it hard to admit that I'm losing you
If you love me, ouh-ouh
I would like you to come back, ouh-ouh-ouh

Spinning

It was six o'clock and as always
she has already stood up
she has taken a bath
and she has drank a little bit of coffee
She has placed on her cheeks
some blush
and a touch of pink lipstick
to be better
 
She goes out to the street and takes a bus
the same routine awaits her
one more day of youth
 
And she goes spinning, rolling
out of control
dreaming of a better world
spinning, rolling
out of control
in search of a new dream
 
And every night she sees again
her sad reality
she removes her makeup and lies down
to rest
dreaming while awake
with the light of a true love
with the promise that one day
everything will go better
 
She takes out such courage from her guts
to face the whole world
and recover her heart
 
And she goes spinning, rolling
out of control
dreaming of a better world
spinning, rolling
out of control
in search of a new dream...
 

To Live Without Him

I have a little bit of my heart left,
a fishbowl,
with a neon blue fish,
three unicorns and a song,
some photos
and a letter with his goodbye
 
I have the rest
of some dreams,
I have a kiss left
 
Today I want to cry,
because I love him madly,
Today I feel like crying
it hurts me not to hug him anymore,
I don't understand anything or why,
I don't know how to live without him,
what a cruel love
 
I have a bit of what I am left,
some verses,
and his voice inside me,
a guitar and a parasol,
An amulet,
and a letter with his goodbye
 
I have the rest
of some dreams,
I have a kiss left
 
Today I want to cry,
because I love him madly,
Today I feel like crying
it hurts me not to hug him anymore,
I don't understand anything or why,
I don't know how to live without him,
what a cruel love
what a cruel love
 
Today I want to cry,
because I love him madly,
Today I feel like crying
it hurts me not to hug him anymore,
I don't understand anything or why,
I don't know how to live without him,
what a cruel love
 

To Love Like This

There are loves that steal your soul,
That snatch up even the crumbs,
My love is a story
So unfortunate,
The one I love does not love me,
There are no words between the two of us.
 
There are loves that grow slowly,
Like grass through asphalt,
My love is a story
Quiet, sad, and broken,
The one I love does not care about
This that I feel and that drowns me.
 
To love like this,
How it hurts, how it hurts
When nobody listens to you,
To love like this,
How it hurts, how it hurts
When nobody understands you,
 
To love blindly,
Unconditionally,
Hopelessly,
Loving alone...
 
There are loves that never germinate,
That die of cold and wither,
My love is a story
So full of irony,
The one I love does not imagine,
That my soul is alive
 
To love like this,
How it hurts, how it hurts
When nobody listens to you,
To love like this,
How it hurts, how it hurts
When nobody understands you,
 
To love blindly,
Unconditionally,
Hopelessly,
Loving alone...
 

I Think of You

I think of you every second,
and although I know it sounds absurd,
You are like a cricket inside of me
I think of you quietly,
so that nobody finds out,
but it is impossible to want to lie
 
I think of you and I'm losing
contact with the ground,
there are witnesses who have seen me floating,
I think of you with harmony
reaffirming the theory,
that falling in love is not
so bad
 
I think of you,
to survive,
I think of you,
to survive
I think of you, I think of you
 
Like a fool, I think of you
and my neurons don't understand
my bittersweet way of acting,
I think about you every day,
It has become a mania,
to never stop thinking of you
 
I think of you,
to survive,
I think of you,
to survive
I think of you, I think of you
I think of you, I think of you
 
I think of you,
to survive,
I think of you,
to survive...
 

Spoiled Milk

With your tail in between your legs
You come to ask for forgiveness,
Your lies are escaping you
Within so much explanation,
Eh, eh, it's all over,
Eh, eh, I say goodbye to you
 
I told you, if you deceive me,
I will take your heart out,
Why should I wait for tomorrow
What I can do to you today
Eh, eh it's all over,
Eh, eh, I say goodbye to you
 
Turn around
Through the door,
Spoiled milk, go,
There aren't hostages
Nor problems
Spoiled milk, go
 
I don't believe you
Our Father,
Spoiled milk, go,
I'm going to start
From zero
Spoiled milk, go
 
I've never tripped twice
Over the same stupidity,
It's not that I cannot love you,
It's that I have lost faith in you,
Eh, eh, it's all over,
Eh, eh, I say goodbye to
 
Turn around
Through the door,
Spoiled milk, go,
There aren't hostages
Nor problems
Spoiled milk, go
 
I don't believe you
Our Father,
Spoiled milk, go,
I'm going to start
From zero
Spoiled milk, go, go, go
 
Turn around
Through the door,
Spoiled milk, go,
There aren't hostages
Nor problems
Spoiled milk, go
 
I don't believe you
Our Father,
Spoiled milk, go,
I'm going to start
From zero
Spoiled milk, go, go, go
 

I'll Be There

I have a couple of unread books,
and a cold cup of coffee,
and my bed screams 'make me'
 
for the climax it rains incessantly,
and I'm about to explode,
I am a mess, I can't anymore,
 
You see now now my life is going bad without you,
I know, no, I cannot continue like this,
Not anymore
 
Call me, look for me or I'll die
Wherever you are I will be there
Call me, look for me or I'll die
Wherever you are I will be there
 
I have dirty clothes everywhere,
And I don't even want to eat
Missing you is not good
Uh huh
 
Just give me an opportunity,
Let me give you so much love
That does not fit in my heart anymore
Not anymore
 
You see now now my life is going bad without you,
I know, no, I cannot continue like this,
Not anymore
 
Call me, look for me or I'll die
Wherever you are there I will be
Call me, look for me or I'll die
Wherever you are there I will be
 

We Make Something of Ourselves

MAÎTRE GIMS & LYNDA:
I'm not going to change the world with my music
That would only be a bait
I don't have a soultion to the storms
To extinguish fire with fire
 
I feel insignificant, so different
I'm outdated
I waste my time, I'm going in circles, I'm on the bench
With time I know
We make something of ourselves
We make something of ourselves
We make something of ourselves
We make something of ourselves
We make something of ourselves

We make something of ourselves

LYNDA:
I keep my head above water
If tomorrow i live a drama
I'm not going to cry rivers
And drown in my own tears
Today I have everything
And if tomorow i have nothing?
With time, we make something of ourselves
 
Life has taught me to stay leveled
Lynda find yourself a goal, you'll get there bit by bit
You'll take some punches
There will be challenges on your path
With time, we make something of ourselves
 
Sometimes I'm outdated, I lose time
I fidgit all day, sitting on a bench
And I ask myself if I was better off before
Sometimes I regret my innocence
I'm scared of not living anymore of these wonderful moments
I know pertinently that I need to move forward
Not to turn around but face the present
And no matter the situations

At 20 years old I understood
I have to make sacrifices
I prefer not to have anything, than to have all their artifical things
Today you shine, tomorrow they forget you
With time, we make something of ourselves
 
You can complain all you want
You can say as much as you want that life sucks
When you lose someone close
And you have nothing in your pockets
You neighbor drives a Porshe
You have your whole year in the car
With time, we make something of ourselves
 
Sometimes I'm outdated, I lose time
I fidgit all day, sitting on a bench

The Damned French

Versions: #3
They speak with precise words
They pronounce all of their syllables
They always give each other kisses
They spend forever at each meal
 
They have incomprehensible menus
They drink water as if it were wine
They eat bread and then fois gras
And they find a way to not get fat
 
They protest every fifteen minutes
On every damned street corner
All of the taxis have drivers
That drive like madmen, bumper to bumper
 
And when they come to our country
It's for the winter and the Indians
And long walks on snowmobiles
Or on dog sleds
 
They have miniscule cups
and immense ashtrays
They make 'real' coffee for 'adults'
And they down it in two gulps
 
You find they great big German Shepards
And their little poodles
On the floor of the restaurants,
The grocery stores, the pharmacies
 
They say they dine when they have supper
And it's two o'clock when they have breakfast (this is a reference to a difference in dialect - in France 'dejuner' means lunch. In Quebec, it means breakfast).
In the morning, they eat yogurt -
They don't know eggs and bacon
 
At the end of the night, it's more saurkraut,
Duck breast, or escargots (snails)
Everything happens exactly to their taste
In the preparations of their damned veal's head
 
A bit of eyelid, a bit of gum (as in your mouth),
A bit of ear, a bit of lips
For the Quebequois' taste buds, it's a bit much
 
Then, they take us for martian
When we ask for a glass of milk,
Or when we ask, 'Where is the 'salle de bain', if you please'
(Here there is another play on regional dialects, in France, bathrooms are 'toilettes' and 'salle de bains' are literally 'rooms where you bathe)
 
And when they come to Quebec,
They put on a Toque (type of hat) and a Kanuk (type of coat)
And they start by searching for igloos
And finish in a sugar shack (reference to the maple syrup)
 
They quickly fall in love
With our forests and our lakes
And they start talking like us
After saying tabernacle (a type of dwelling)
 
And drunk on caribou
And on Molson (beer) and on much gin
They rave about our stews,
Our pork's feet (as in pickled), and our beans
 
They see that we don't have stinky cheese
And they get used to an old cheddar
And they stop complaining
About our bastard coffee (referencing that French coffee is much stronger)
 
When their stay is finally over,
They understand that they don't have the right
To call us Canadians
Because we are Quebecois (They are Quebecois first, then Canadiens)
 
They say goodbye with tears in their eyes
And maple syrup in their bags
They realize that we are like them
And we wish them safe travels
 
We give them a kiss goodbye
As if we'd always done so
And there is a missing piece of Quebec,
When the damned French leave.

the clothes line is in the balcony
 
and when she hangs them
she instantly show them off
and oh, how many times have I seen them
 
she comes to tell me 'tomorrow is going to be better
forget about our past'
you're one with a heart that never changes
how could I forget the memories?
 
she comes to remind me of her love
that made me her prisoner
she comes to remind me of her love
that rendered my eyes sleepless
 
I repent, I repent, I repent
I'm never going to believe him
he who changed on me
 
she comes to tell me, she comes to tell me
she comes to tell me 'my love
I'm the one at fault'
 
she comes to tell me that he's wasted
his life not caring about me
and when his dear ones abandoned him
I've held on to me
 
she comes to remind me of her love
that made me her prisoner
she comes to remind me of her love
that rendered my eyes sleepless
 
I repent, I repent, I repent
I'm never going to believe him
he who changed on me
 
I repent, I repent, I repent
I'm never going to believe him
he who changed on me
 
she comes to tell me, she comes to tell me
she comes to tell me 'my love
I'm the one at fault'
 
I swear, your heart is not aware of me
love with you is deprivation

A Love Story

My story, it's the love story,
my lament, it's the complaint of two hearts,
a novel just like others,
which could become yours,
or people from here, indeed.
 
It's the fame, which lights without burn,
it's the dream, that we dream without sleeping,
like a tree which stands,
strong and tender,
towards the day that will come.
 
It's the story of a eternal and banal love,
that brings everyday good and evil,
at the time where we embrace, when we say ''goodbye''
at the evenings of agony, and the wonderful mornings.
 
My story, it's the story someone knows,
those who love each other play the same 1, I know it
and tragic or, actually profound
it's the only song in the world
which will never end.
