Translating the printemps érable

Translating the printemps érable is a volunteer collective attempting to balance the English media's extremely poor coverage of the student conflict in Québec by translating media that has been published in French into English. These are amateur translations; we have done our best to translate these pieces fairly and coherently, but the final texts may still leave something to be desired. If you find any important errors in any of these texts, we would be very grateful if you would share them with us at translatingtheprintempsderable@gmail.com. Please read and distribute these texts in the spirit in which they were intended; that of solidarity and the sharing of information.

 

If you would like to volunteer and join the effort, please contact us at the above email before embarking on any translation work, in order to avoid any redundancies. We cannot accept translations that have not been cleared with us first.

Anarchopanda, you march with us! (by François Parenteau and Gaetan Troutet)

Translated Lyrics:

Anarchopanda against tyranny
Anarchopanda, you march with us
If everybody sees that we’re the nice guys
It’s a bit thanks to you and your kisses

Oooh, Anarchopanda!

Friend or foe, everyone has a right to your cuddles
They’ll see - Anarchy can be soft and sweet in your arms

*claps*

Anarchopanda against tyranny
Anarchopanda, you march with us
If everybody sees that we’re the good guys
It’s a bit thanks to you, and your kisses

Kisses!
Kisses!
Kisses!

Anarchopanda, you march with us!
