Le tango à carreaux(original) |
| C’est le transport qu’il faut au sang chaud de leur peau |
| Pour leur faire oublier leur routine de yo-yo |
| Écoute c’est le tango des bises de Fort Chimo |
| Des sous zéro du fleuve gelé de ses cargos |
| Qui poussent sur les glaces à lenteur d’escargots |
| Pendant que sur le pont fument les matelots |
| La lune en cinquante cents allume ses flambeaux |
| Sur la neige nickelée qui vernit les bateaux |
| Qu’elles attendent à Québec en dansant le tango |
| Le tango le plus beau le tango à carreaux |
| (translation) |
| It's the transport the warm blood of their skin needs |
| To make them forget their yo-yo routine |
| Listen it's the tango of kisses from Fort Chimo |
| Sub-zero of the frozen river from her freighters |
| Which grow on ice slowly like snails |
| While on deck the sailors smoke |
| The moon in fifty cents lights her torches |
| On the nickel-plated snow that varnishes the boats |
| Let them wait in Quebec dancing the tango |
| The most beautiful tango the checkered tango |
