Montréal -40 Lyrics
Trop pauvre pour les pilules,
je fais la putain pourtant je suis nul et toutes ces choses que j'éjacule, je cours contre la montre, je cours mais je recule Ô Montréal tu es tellement froide, une ourse polaire dans l'autobus je m'inspire de pire pour m'enrichir et je t'aime tellement que j'hallucine papapapapadapada je passe sous silence ton arrogance tu gardes le rythme tu me mets en transe papapapapadapada j'ai ce que je mérite et quelle jouissance Ton visage sur mon magazine ton palmarès de concubines Ô Montréal tu es tellement froide, une ourse polaire dans l'autobus je m'inspire de pire pour m'enrichir et je t'aime tellement que j'hallucine Le chat ronfle et tu parles dans ton sommeil et pourtant moi je n'arrive pas à fermer l'oeil |

Much too poor for pills,
I however make (can afford?) the whore - I am null
and all these things which I ejaculate,
I run against the clock (time?)
I run but I come back
Ô Montreal you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus
I take as a starting point worse to enrich me
and I love you so much that I hallucinate
papapapapadapada
I overlook your arrogance
you keep the rhythm
you put to me in a trance
papapapapadapada
I have what I deserve
and which pleasure
Your face on my magazine
your prize list of concubines
Ô Montreal you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus
I take as a starting point worse to enrich me
and I love you so much that I hallucinate
The cat purrs (whirrs?)
and you speak in your sleep
and yet me
I do not manage to close my eyes
Hmmm, interesting....I still think it's amazing.

Too poor for pills,
I play the whore yet I suck,
And all these things that I ejaculate,
I'm running against the clock,
I'm running but I'm going backwards
Oh, Montréal, you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus,
I get rich inspired by the worst,
And I love you so much, I hallucinate
papapapapapadapada
I try to ignore
your arrogance
you keep rhythm
you put me in a trance
papapapapadapada
I have what I deserve
And what pleasure
Your face on my magazine
Your pageant of concubines
Oh Montréal you are so cold,
A polar bear in the bus,
I get rich inspired by the worst
And I love you so much, I hallucinate
The cat snores,
And you talk in your sleep
Yet I,
I can't even shut an eye.

I'm no translator, but I think you'll find that this translation renders best the meaning of the song (if not it's particular rhyme or rhythm).
Enjoy!

To take a stab at the song's meaning...it appears to be about Montreal. :P Which seems to be a rather cold and awful place but not without its charms if you've lived there long enough, I guess.
Very, very catchy. Makes me want to learn French to sing along. Best thing on the album!
