Mommy, Daddy, I love you dearly
Please, tell me how in French my friends used to call me?
Paule, Lise, Pierre, Jacques ou Louise
Groulx, Papineau, Gauthier, Fortin, Robichaud, Charbonneau

Mommy, Daddy, what happened to my name?
Oh! Mommy, Daddy, how come it′s not the same
Oh! Mommy, tell me why it's too late, too late, much too late

Mommy, Daddy, I love you dearly
Please, tell me where we used to live in this country
Trois-Rivières, St-Paul, Grand-Mère
St-Marc, Berthier, Gaspé, Dolbeau, Tadoussac, Gatineau

Mommy, Daddy, how come it′s not the same
Oh! Mommy, Daddy, there's so much in a name
Oh! Mommy, tell me why it's too late, too late, much too late

Mommy, Daddy, I love you dearly
Please, sing the song you sang when I was a baby:
Fais dodo, Colas, mon p′tit frère!
Fais dodo, fais dodo, mon p′tit frère, tu auras du lolo!

Mommy, Daddy, I remember the song
Oh! Mommy, Daddy, something seems to be wrong
Oh! Mommy, tell me why it's too late, too late, much too late

Mommy, Daddy, I love you dearly
Please, tell me once again that beautiful story:
Un jour, ils partirent de France
Bâtir ici quelques villages, une ville, un pays

Mommy, Daddy, how come we lost the game?
Oh! Mommy, Daddy, are you the ones to blame?
Oh! Mommy, tell me why it′s too late, too late, much too late
