Cà s’est passé au carnaval
Parmi les cris les serpentins
Aux souvenirs d’un soir de bal
Qui transforma notre destin
Trop tôt hélas c’est le départ
Mon cœur battait tout près du tien
Un aurevoir plein de cafard
Dans la fumée s’enfuit le train
Refrain
Quand je t’ai vu la 1ère fois Sylvie
C’est à Québec sous les remparts tout gris
On s’est promis comme des enfants, la vie
Depuis je t’aime éperdument Sylvie.

Çà s’est passé au carnaval
Parmi les cris les serpentins
Au souvenir d’un soir de bal
Qui fut pourtant sans lendemain
Et quand l’amour fille jolie
Reviendra-t-il combler mon cœur
Il te réclame dans la nuit
Tu es pour lui le seul bonheur.
Translation
No. 81: “Sylvie”
Verse 1: It took place during Carnaval
Among the streamers, the streamers
Remembrance of an evening ball
That changed our destiny
Departure alas comes too early
My heart was beating close to yours
A good bye full of sadness
In smoke the train leaves
Refrain: When I saw you first, Sylvie
It’s in Quebec under the gray --
We promised each others’ life like children
Since then I love you madly Sylvie
Verse 2: It took place during Carnaval
Among the streams, the streamers
Rememberance of an evening ball
That had no tomorrow
And when will love pretty girl
Come back to fill my heart
He is calling for you in the night
You are the only happiness for him
