Montréal 4 am [English translation]

You climbed into the bus that was leaving

You’re no more than a point shining in the cold

I wasn’t afraid of anything

I thought I could handle it all

But this light leaving into the night forever

I imagine you, your nose pressed against the glass

You watch the magnificent first flakes of snow falling

Around you phantoms are perhaps going to read

And other phantoms to try and sleep

Buried in my jacket

Your favourite one, your keys

It’s still early, I need a coffee

At the end of the street blinks a blue light

I’m going to go there and warm up a bit

Oooo la la la la

I thought I could handle it all

But this light leaving into the night forever

I imagine you listening to the noise of the motor

And the old radio under the driver’s feet

But the bus which slowly crushes the snow

And the road straight ahead stretching away

The waitress is beautiful, she smiles non-stop

There’s someone somewhere who knows how to love her

Outside the sounds of shovels, it’s nearly daylight

I’d like to stay here in this bar forever

Buried in my jacket

Your favourite one, your keys

With the blue blinking outside

The snow seems to move

I wasn’t afraid of anything

I thought I could handle it all

But this light leaving into the night forever

Oooh la la la la

I thought I could handle it all

But this light leaving into the night forever

Oooh la la la la

Outside the sounds of shovels, it’s nearly daylight

I’d like to stay here in this bar forever
