Ladies and gentlemen… bienvenue à Montréal !
From Saint-Laurent down to the Main
Neon hearts in winter rain
Coffee, smoke, and violin
Every dream is rushing in
Snow on taxis, steam on doors
Poets hiding in the bars
French in laughter, English pain
Love in every street and train
If you ever lost your way
This is where your heart will stay
Montreal, Montreal
City rising through the snow
Montreal, Montreal
Where the wild and tender go
If you fall, you fall in song
If you’re weak, you grow up strong
Montreal, Montreal
You don’t leave — you just belong
Summer lights on Crescent Street
Jazz and drums in summer heat
Rooftop wine, late night confessions
Broken rules and good intentions
From Mile-End to vieux Plateau
Every soul has somewhere to go
Every heart has room to breathe
Between the cold and the belief
If your fire is running low
This is where it starts to glow
Montreal, Montreal
City written in my skin
Montreal, Montreal
Every ending is a begin
If you cry, the city sings
If you’re lost, it gives you wings
Montreal, Montreal
You don’t win — you just walk in
Not too rich, not too proud
Just a dreamer in a crowd
Not too loud, not too shy
Just a city learning why
Montreal, Montreal
Light a fire in every soul
Montreal, Montreal
You don’t break — you make me whole
From the river to the sky
From the first tear to the try
Montreal, Montreal
You don’t fade — you multiply
[Outro – brass hold, piano flourish]
Montreal… Montréal…
You’re my way home
