| 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 |
