Il est trois heures moins quart
It's a quarter to three
Sur la Main, il est tard
On the Main, it's late
Les filles ont dansé pour toi
The girls danced for you
Pour te consoler, leur roi
To comfort you, their king
Et si tu dors seul ce soir parmi leurs pleurs d'aurore
And if you sleep alone tonight among their dawn tears
Et si tu me laisses dans tes bras, je t'attends, boulevard Saint-Laurent
And if you hold me in your arms, I'll wait for you on Saint-Laurent Boulevard
On s'est vus deux par deux
We saw each other two by two
Je sais, tu es pris, amoureux
I know, you're taken, in love
Mais j'ai tant dansé pour toi
But I've danced so much for you
Pour te gagner, mon roi
To win you over, my king
Et si tu dors seul ce soir parmi leurs pleurs d'aurore
And if you sleep alone tonight among their dawn's tears
Et si tu me laisses dans tes bras, je t'attends, boulevard Saint-Laurent
And if you hold me in your arms, I'll be waiting for you, on Saint-Laurent Boulevard
