Pour bien voir le scénario avant qu’il ne soit trop tard…
En reprise, le texte de Gilles Richer et Marc Gélinas. (1971)
Mommy, Daddy
Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please tell me how in French my friends used to call me
Paule, Lise, Pierre, Jacques ou Louise
Groulx, Papineau, Gauthier, Fortin, Robichaud, Charbonneau.
Mommy, daddy, what happened to my name?
Oh mommy, daddy, how come it’s not the same?
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late, much too late.
Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please tell me where we used to live in this country
Trois-Rivières, Saint-Paul, Grand-Mère
Saint-Marc, Berthier, Gaspé, Dolbeau, Tadoussac, Gatineau
Mommy, daddy, how come it’s not the same?
Oh mommy, daddy, there’s so much in a name.
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late, much too late.
Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please sing the song you sang when I was a baby
Fais dodo, Colas mon petit frère
Fais do-o-do, mon petit frère, tu auras du lolo.
Mommy, daddy, I remerber the song.
Oh mommy, daddy, something seems to be wrong.
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late, much too late.
Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please tell me once again that beautiful story
Un jour ils partirent de France
Bâtirent ici quelques villages, une ville, un pays.
Mommy, daddy, how come we lost the game?
Oh mommy, daddy, are you the ones to blame?
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late, much too late.
Gilles Richer et Marc Géllinas
