Montréal neige sale [English translation]

Because no one came to my house

And because if you knock,

I don't hear you

Because a sun outside, there is not

Because seen from the outside, it looks cold

When I try to get warm

When I try to comfort myself

I only have one desire:

To savour the agony

Tonight, once again, I'm kissing death

I dip my lips into honey

I open my mouth

Just wide enough to welcome in

A swarm of bees

I'll invite Ms. Queen Bee

To feed on my pollen

And I'll forget that winter is dirty in Montreal

It's snowing torrential sorrow

The oncoming trucks scatter them

I'd like to sob only because of mine,

Not to share another family's sorrow

Snowflakes are puzzles

I spend the night trying to make them fit

And little by little, they turn into fortresses

They even manage to look like me

Tonight, once again, I'm kissing death

I dip my lips into honey

I open my mouth

Just wide enough to welcome in

A swarm of bees

I'll invite Ms. Queen Bee

To feed on my pollen

And I'll forget that winter is dirty in Montreal
