Tonight Juliette went all out
Pour une fois qu'suis pas d? tourn?
For once I'm not lost in the crowd
J'ai bien l'intention d'me poser
I fully intend to settle down
Branchez-moi sur le Qu? becois
Connect me to Quebec

Don't worry, we'll take care of you

En longueur? a pourrait aller
In length? It could work out.
L'Arc de Triomphe bouffera mes ailes
The Arc de Triomphe will devour my wings.
Pendant que Juliette se fait sauter
While Juliette gets herself taken care of.
