Plume Latraverse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A couraille la rue St-Catherine
Qui ça?
Bobépine!
C'est la coqueluche des grands drive-in
A fait fureur avec ses bottines
Qui ça?
Son père travaille dans un usine
Sa mère à couche dans la cuisine
Qui ça?
Bobépine!
Est ben pogné s'a nicotine
Pis est ben chum avec ma voisine
Qui ça?
Bobépine!
A danse le rock chromée full pin
Comme une vraie super Bobépine
Qui ça?
Bobépine!
The lyrics of Plume Latraverse's song Bobépine describe a young woman who is a free spirit and a rebel. She wears the scent of turpentine, roams the streets of Montreal's St. Catherine, and is the darling of the neighborhood drive-ins. She is known for her fashionable boots and her unique sense of style. The song describes the challenges she faces, with her father working in a factory and her mother confined to the kitchen. Despite these challenges, Bobépine is tough and independent, with a strong bond with the singer's neighbor. She dances the chromed out rock with enthusiasm, embodying the spirit of a true "super Bobépine".
