J’ai vu la France Lyrics by Émile Bilodeau

Grandeur mature

2019

J’ai vu la France
De la Provence à Paris
C’est ma récompense
Car j’ai pris la défense
De la francophonie
J’ai eu la chance
De vivre l’intense folie
Je pense que j’t’en vacances, même si
Je dois faire des performances ici
C’est l’abondance
Mais j’ai conscience
Que je suis
Loin des rues immenses
De Jeanne-Mance à Saint-Denis
Quand quelqu’un me relance avec sa connaissance de mon pays
Pis j’me dis que c’est normal
Si j’m’ennuie de Montréal à ce point
Si je m’ennuie de mon grand lit métropolitain
Mais rendu en Suisse
J’ai cru que Zurich n’avait pas
De gens tristes ou en crisse sous son toit, car
Je n’ai vu que des riches en Prada
Des fils à papa
Et des touristes qui se remplissent
Le ventre de chocolat
Y a pas grand-risque
Qu’ils saisissent
Que je suis Québécois
But they wish in English
That I’m from Canada
Quel supplice, quelle malice
D’être perçu comme ça
Quel supplice, quelle malice
D’être si loin de toi
Pis j’commence à m’ennuyer
De mon salon au Saguenay
Quand je dors, j’ai le fjord dans la panse
Pis ton corps dans conscience
