Mon chum Rémi [English translation]
Mon chum Rémi [English translation]
bro, give me your keys
you're breaking the breathanalyser
you're way to hammered
to drive your car
the last call is over
there's no one left in the place
come with me, I'll pay you a coffee
in the restaurant next door
it's been a couple of weeks
that you're talking about shooting yourself
and you bring up your speeches
of depressed dude
but come on, don't be dumb
you have to learn to hang on
you know, those bad phases
they end up passing away
plus, I wouldn't have anyone left
I wouldn't have my old pal
who steals me cigs
when things go wrong at work
hey Rémi
don't do something stupid
I kinda like you
and you still owe me fifty bucks
the lights are on
the boss is counting his profits
the waitress is annoyed
maybe we should rush a bit
you know Rémi, me too
I come to ask myself
what is life good for
when things start to go wrong
and by moments I find
that it's not really easy
that we're really lonely on this road
in this absurd universe
but just go back home
you have a kid who loves you
that's a real good reason
to not go to the other side
as for me, I wouldn't have anyone left
I wouldn't have my old pal
the one that I beat every year
in hockey games
hey Rémi
don't do something stupid
I kinda like you
and you still owe me fifty bucks
instead of pulling the plug
on your goddamn lowlife
try to quit doing drugs
and make a man out of you
cause I want to find back
the old pal I used to know
but no one can help you
if you don't help yourself
the janitor is sweeping the floor
they'll lock the doors
let's smoke a last cig
after we have to get out
right before getting up
he ended up telling me
to not worry too much
and that we would.... try to get it together
hey Rémi
don't do something stupid
I kinda like you
and you still owe me fifty bucks
