Bon Soirée
Bon Soirée: A Journey Through Storms and Streets
Lyrics
Stormy weather come and get me
Facing challenging times or difficulties
First you gonna have to catch me
Challenging the adversity, not making it easy
I was laid up in Schenectady
Recalling a time spent in Schenectady
But I'll be bedding down on rue Sainte-Catherine
Planning to stay on Rue Sainte-Catherine
Driving blind though the ice and snow
Driving without a clear destination in icy conditions
Had no particular place to go
Traveling aimlessly, without a specific goal
Hey mister do you speak my language
Asking if someone understands or relates to their experience
I was kinda hoping you'd say no
Expressing a desire for a shared understanding
Ooh la le en oui
French expressions suggesting surprise or excitement
It's been comin' after me
Referring to something pursuing or catching up with them
Ooh la le en oui
Continuation of French expressions, leading to a pleasant evening
Bon soirée mon ami
Good evening, my friend
Spent two nights on the hotel floor
Describing a challenging stay with discomfort
Ain't never been that cold before
Experiencing extreme cold for the first time
Got my car struck in the snow
Car stuck in snow, but indifferent as there was no specific destination
But it's ok, I had no particular place to go
Accepting the situation without concern
Walked around and I made some friends
Making acquaintances during a walk
But I couldn't tell y'all everything
Unable to share everything with the newfound friends
And I'd sure love to tell you why
Expressing a desire to share the reasons for their situation
By God I'd hate to make y'all grown folk cry
Reluctant to cause emotional distress with the truth
Ooh la le en oui
Continuation of French expressions, suggesting pursuit or consequence
It's been comin' after me
Referring to something catching up with them
Ooh la le en oui
Continuation of French expressions, leading to a pleasant evening
Bon soirée mon ami
Good evening, my friend
Headed southwest through Ontario
Traveling southwest in Ontario without a specific destination
Had no particular place still to go
Continuing to travel without a clear goal
I was not quite yet headed home
Not heading home yet in reality
But in my mind the deed was done
Mentally considering the journey accomplished
There's no one waiting there for me
No one expecting them at their destination
I do believe I'll make my sortie
Deciding to make an exit or departure
And I'd sure love to tell you why
Expressing a desire to share the reasons for their situation
By God I'd hate to make y'all grown folk cry
Reluctant to cause emotional distress with the truth
Ooh la le en oui
Continuation of French expressions, suggesting pursuit or consequence
It's been comin' after me
Referring to something catching up with them
Ooh la le en oui
Continuation of French expressions, leading to a pleasant evening
Bon soirée mon ami
Good evening, my friend
