| Les immi_grandissent |
| Comme nous: pouce après pouce |
| Ils poussent |
| Comme toute bonne repousse |
| Tant qu’elle a la ressource |
| La graine d’immi_grandit comme il faut |
| Si elle a le bon terreau |
| Les minéraux |
| De l’eau |
| Et surtout du pot |
| — Ça coule de source — |
| Les immigrants boivent comme nous: |
| Par la bouche |
| Et par la bouche de ce paysage |
| Au visage pâle |
| À grands traits tirés |
| Ils trouvent le tour de respirer |
| De rester inspirés |
| Tant ils ont bon dos |
| Et bonne attitude |
| Au jeu du tournedos |
| Des deux solitudes |
| Dont on a l’habitude |
| À peine débarqués |
| Dans notre pays hôte |
| Vous avez remarqué? |
| Ils sacrent comme nous autres |
| Quand y pètent une bolt |
| Ils parlent tellement en tous sens |
| Ça part de tout bord, tout côté |
| Le mal de leur pays |
| Dit les mêmes niaiseries que nous |
| À cent mille milles du Tout-Paris |
| Les immigrants sont aussi |
| Germes d’ici dans23 la francophonie |
| Ici, ça fait 250 ans |
| Qu’on va d’accommodement en accommodement |
| Que les nouveaux venus veuillent en faire autant |
| C’est-tu si surprenant? |
| Comme les Bouchard, les Fréchette, les Turcotte et les Matte |
| C’est b’en plate, |
| Eux aussi s’acclimatent |
| mais avec ton accent de mal — l’axe du malheur |
| Tu viens d’où? |
| Je viens d’août? |
| Je viens de juillet, de septembre, d’octobre |
| Par-dessus tout, je viens quand ça m’tente |
| J’viens par tous les coins d’horizons |
| Quand c’est bon |
| À grands coups de hache |
| Dans mon foyer natal |
| J’ai fait des Appalaches |
| Mon chauffage central |
| J’ai fumé jusqu’aux transes indiennes |
| Exilé l’espérance acadienne |
| Aimé la juive errance comme mienne |
| Et ces chemins de France en terre canadienne |
| M’ont ramené chez nous |
| À cent mille milles de route du doute |
| Les immi_grandes de gueule |
| Poursuivent l’aventure |
| De la parlure |
| De vos aïeuls |
| Vos gueules |
| On est québécois comme toi |
| Comme toi |
| (translation) |
| Immigrants are growing up |
| Like us: inch by inch |
| They grow |
| Like all good regrowth |
| As long as she has the resource |
| The seed of immi_grows as it should |
| If she has the right soil |
| The minerals |
| Some water |
| And especially pot |
| - It's obvious - |
| Immigrants drink like us: |
| By mouth |
| And through the mouth of this landscape |
| Pale-faced |
| In broad strokes |
| They find the trick to breathe |
| To stay inspired |
| So much they have good backs |
| And good attitude |
| Tournedos game |
| Of the two solitudes |
| What we are used to |
| Just landed |
| In our host country |
| You have noticed? |
| They swear like the rest of us |
| When there fart a bolt |
| They talk so much all over the place |
| It goes from all sides, all sides |
| The evil of their country |
| Say the same nonsense as us |
| One hundred thousand miles from Tout-Paris |
| Immigrants are also |
| Germs from here in23 the Francophonie |
| Here, it's been 250 years |
| That we go from accommodation to accommodation |
| Newcomers please do the same |
| Is it so surprising? |
| Like the Bouchards, the Fréchettes, the Turcottes and the Mattes |
| It's really flat, |
| They too are acclimating |
| but with your accent of evil — the axis of misfortune |
| Where do you come from? |
| Am I from August? |
| I'm from July, September, October |
| Above all, I come when I feel like it |
| I come from all over the world |
| When it's good |
| With great blows of an ax |
| In my native home |
| I did Appalachia |
| My central heating |
| I smoked to Indian trances |
| Exiled Acadian hope |
| Loved the wandering Jewess as mine |
| And these roads from France to Canadian soil |
| took me home |
| A hundred thousand miles away from doubt |
| The loud-mouthed immigrants |
| continue the adventure |
| Of speaking |
| From your ancestors |
| Shut up |
| We are from Quebec like you |
| Like you |
