La Ruelle Laurier [English translation]

I accidentally saw the light of day

About 20 years ago

My mother found me ugly

My dad was never there

I had a happy childhood

Between the whiskey bottles

And the very important Valiums

Bought on sale in the pharmacies

I did not have a lot of friends

I moved too often

I grew up without making noise

Not to annoy my parents

My dad was a proud man

He did not want my mom to be strong

For it to work his way

He would throw her through the door

I have dreamt more than once of being strong

To be tall like a house

To lift him by one arm

Breaking him in two on the living room table

My mom was living this calmly

By pretending she loved him

Stressed while knowing

He would return for his sin

She would slowly close her eyes

While he grabbed her hair

He made her get on her knees in front of the sofa

To appease his vicious instincts

Wednesday evening after the hockey game

I'll wait for my dad at the old Dugas

When he will take the Laurier Alley

I'll make sure he won't come out
