Dam da la da dam
Derrière le comptoir d'un vieux magasin d'disques
À que'que part, à deux pas du Mile End
Tu vendais des vieux vinyles usés dans une boutique
T'avais dix-sept ans pis la vie c'tait loin d'être Disney Land
Mais quand la cloche a retenti au-d'sus d'la porte
T'as tout d'suite su qu'c'était l'amour qui rentrait
La neige fondait deux fois plus vite en-d'sous d'ses bottes
Pis l'soleil la suivait entre les volets
T'as presque arrêté d'respirer
Quand a pris un vieux record des Clash
Qu'a dit "penses-tu qu'tu peux m'trouver
Le tout premier de Johnny Cash?"
T'as dit ben "j'peux bin essayer
T'as qu'à r'passer dans une semaine"
En priant pour qu'elle aille pas r'garder
Dans l'bac où y en avait une dizaine
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
Quand est finalement r'venue une semaine plus tard
T'avais caché l'disque qu'a cherchait derrière ceux d'Elvis
T'avais la phrase parfaite pour l'inviter un soir
Y fallait seulement qu't'attendes le moment propice
A s'est approchée du comptoir
En y mettant sa main, a frôlé la tienne
A dit "pas d'trace de c'que j'veux avoir?"
T'as bégayé "p-p-peut-être dans une semaine"
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
Le jeudi suivant, t'avais pas dormi d'la nuite
Tellement t'étais nerveux d'y dire "veux-tu qu'on sorte que'que part?"
T'avais choisis d'y offrir le vieux record de Johnny
En souhaitant juste qu'ça mettrait les chances de ton bord
T'as même pas eu l'temps d'l'inviter
A pris l'disque pis a t'a lancé
"Depuis l'temps qu'je rêve de l'entendre
Viens-tu l'écouter dans ma chambre?"
Tu y as souri malgré ta gêne
Tu l'as suivie jusque chez elle
Johnny chantait "I Walk The Line"
Et ta main glissait su' ses dentelles
Pis c'est là qu'tu l'as remarqué
Sa tablette en plexiglass
Son autre exemplaire usagé
Du premier disque de Johnny Cash
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam

Behind the counter of an old record store
Somewhere, a stone's throw from Mile End
You were selling worn-out vinyls in a shop
You were seventeen and life was far from Disneyland
But when the bell rang above the door
You knew right away it was love walking in
The snow melted twice as fast under her boots
And the sun followed her between the shutters
You almost stopped breathing
When she picked up an old Clash record
And said "Do you think you could find me
The very first Johnny Cash album?"
You said, "Well, I can try,
Just come back in a week"
Praying she wouldn't look
In the bin where there were a dozen of them
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
When she finally came back a week later
You had hidden the record she was looking for behind the Elvis ones
You had the perfect line to ask her out
You just had to wait for the right moment
She approached the counter
Placing her hand on it, she brushed against yours
She said, "No sign of what I'm looking for?"
You stammered, "m-m-maybe in a week"
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
The following Thursday, you hadn't slept all night
So nervous were you to ask her "Do you want to go out somewhere?"
You had chosen to offer her the old Johnny record
Just hoping it would tip the odds in your favor
You didn't even have time to invite her
She took the record and threw at you
"I've been dreaming of hearing this for so long
Do you want to listen to it in my room?"
You smiled at her despite your embarrassment
You followed her to her place
Johnny was singing "I Walk The Line"
And your hand was sliding over her lace
And that's when you noticed it
Her plexiglass shelf
Her other worn-out copy
Of Johnny Cash's first album
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
Dam da dam, dam da la da dam, da la dam, dam dam
Dam da la da dam
Dam dam
