Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mistral Gagnant by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

A m'asseoir sur un banc cinq minutes avec toi

To sit on a bench for five minutes with you

Et regarder les gens tant qu'y en a

And watch the people as long as there are some

Te parler du bon temps qu'est mort ou qui r'viendra

To talk to you about the good times that are dead or will come back

En serrant dans ma main tes p'tits doigts

While holding your little fingers in my hand

Pis donner à bouffer à des pigeons idiots

And feed stupid pigeons

Leur filer des coups d' pieds pour de faux

Give them fake kicks

Et entendre ton rire qui lézarde les murs

And hear your laughter that cracks the walls

Qui sait surtout guérir mes blessures

That knows how to heal my wounds especially

Te raconter un peu comment j'étais mino

To tell you a bit about how I was a kid

Les bonbecs fabuleux

The fabulous candies

Qu'on piquait chez l' marchand

We stole from the store

Car-en-sac et Minto

Car-en-sac and Minto

Caramel à un franc

Caramel for a franc

Et les mistrals gagnants

And the winning mistrals

A r'marcher sous la pluie cinq minutes avec toi

To walk in the rain for five minutes with you

Et regarder la vie tant qu'y en a

And watch life as long as there is some

Te raconter la Terre en te bouffant des yeux

To tell you about the Earth while devouring you with my eyes

Te parler de ta mère un p'tit peu

To talk to you a little about your mother

Et sauter dans les flaques pour la faire râler

And jump in puddles to annoy her

Bousiller nos godasses et s' marrer

Mess up our shoes and laugh

Et entendre ton rire comme on entend la mer

And hear your laughter like we hear the sea

S'arrêter, r'partir en arrière

Stop, go back

Te raconter surtout les carambars d'antan et les cocos bohères

To tell you especially about the old carambars and the cocos bohères

Et les vrais roudoudous qui nous coupaient les lèvres

And the real roudoudous that cut our lips

Et nous niquaient les dents

And messed up our teeth

Et les mistrals gagnants

And the winning mistrals

A m'asseoir sur un banc cinq minutes avec toi

To sit on a bench for five minutes with you

Et regarder le soleil qui s'en va

And watch the sun go down

Te parler du bon temps qu'est mort et je m'en fou

To talk to you about the good times that are dead and I don't care

Te dire que les méchants c'est pas nous

To tell you that the bad guys aren't us

Que si moi je suis barge, ce n'est que de tes yeux

That if I'm crazy, it's only in your eyes

Car ils ont l'avantage d'être deux

Because they have the advantage of being two

Et entendre ton rire s'envoler aussi haut

And hear your laughter fly as high

Que s'envolent les cris des oiseaux

As the cries of birds fly

Te raconter enfin qu'il faut aimer la vie

To finally tell you that you must love life

Et l'aimer même si

And love it even if

Le temps est assassin

Time is an assassin

Et emporte avec lui les rires des enfants

And takes with it the laughter of children

Et les mistrals gagnants

And the winning mistrals

Et les mistrals gagnants

And the winning mistrals
