On n'avait jamais su de quel pays qu'a v'nait
Ni m?me l'?ge qu'a l'avait ou comment qu'a s'appelait
Mais tout l'monde la surnommait La Reine
Dans l'bout d'la rue Ste-Catherine et d'la Main
A' s'promenait dans l'quartier depuis au moins dix ans
C'toyant les putains et les itin?rants
Mais quand on entendait son accent
On s'doutait qu'? v'nait pas du Lac St-Jean
Chaque soir elle prenait sous son aile
Les clochards et les junkies de fond de ruelles
Comme un ange-gardien venu du ciel
Qui serait atterri dans les poubelles
La nuit a'ec son pick-up elle faisait sa tourn?e
Distribuant des toasts et un peu de caf?
Pour donner un p'tit brin de chaleur
? ceux qui ont l'hiver dret dans le coeur
Pour les ?corch's vifs elle inspirait la paix
Sa seule pr'sence 'tait comme un baume sur leurs plaies
Son regard 'tait une lanterne
Pour les naufrag's des sombres tavernes
Chaque soir elle prenait sous son aile
Les clochards et les junkies de fond de ruelles
Comme un ange-gardien venu du ciel
Qui serait atterri dans les poubelles
Selon c'que dit Paulo un chauffeur de taxi
Elle aurait fui la guerre pour immigrer ici
Y'a de ca une couple de d'cennies
Quand y'ont tu? son p'tit gars pis son mari
Et c'qu'elle aurait trouv? pour s'accrocher ?'vie
C'est d's'occuper des pauvres et des plus d'munis
Au lieu d'vivre triste 'ternellement
Elle avait maintenant des centaines d'enfants
Chaque soir elle prenait sous son aile
Les clochards et les junkies de fond de ruelles
Comme un ange-gardien venu du ciel
Qui serait atterri dans les poubelles
?a s'est pass? hier dans la nuit du douze au treize
En sortant d'son pick-up a' eu comme un malaise
Pr's d'chez elle au m'tro Du Coll'ge
On l'a retrouv?e morte dans un banc d'neige
On n'aura jamais su de quel pays qu'? v'nait
Ni m?me l'?ge qu'a l'avait ou comment qu'a s'appelait
Mais c'matin les gens pleuraient la Reine
Dans l'bout d'la rue Ste-Catherine et d'la Main
Mais au moins elle a repris ses ailes
Pour partir vers un monde un peu moins cruel
Et m?me si elle croyait pas en Dieu
C'est s?r qu'elle vole quecq'part o? l'ciel est bleu
