Chez Laurette [English translation]

By her own way of calling us her kids

You could see that she loved us very much

It's here that our pocket money

Disappeared inside the juke box

After class we'd go there for a drink

And once inside, Laurette would smile to us

And suddenly, our homework, our problems

Would disappear when she kissed us.

It was nice at Laurette's

When we had a party

She was on our side, Laurette

It was good, it was fun

And when we were broken

She would pick-up our tab

And then, too, so we would be at ease

There was a corner in her bar, just for us

We would stay there and see the girls pass

An I know a few that we liked very much

If sometimes our souls ached

Laurette alone knew how to give hope

She talked and we would laugh all the same

In a blink of an eye she could change everything

It was good at Laurette's

We'll return there

So we won't forget her, Laurette

It will be good, it will be fun

And we'll talk

About stories from the past

At Laurette's

It will be good, it will be fun

And we'll talk

About stories from the past

At Laurette's

At Laurette's
