about

Summers are hot in Quebec, so when the ice-cream man comes pedalling through the neighbourhood it's a big deal and the kids come pouring out of the backyards at the sound of the "G'Ling G'Ling". In French.

lyrics

G'Ling G'Ling!
G'Ling G'Ling!

C'est une belle journée d'été
Et si ta maman veut, elle peut goûter
G'Ling G'Ling!
Do you want something?

Chaque matin, première lueurs de midi
Moi, je m'enfourche mon G'Ling G'Ling
Je parcours toutes les rues dans la grosse chaleur
En faisant le son de cloche de mon triporteur

G'Ling G'Ling!
G'Ling G'Ling!
C'est une belle journée d'été
Et si ta maman veut, elle peut goûter
G'Ling G'Ling!
Do you want something?

À quatre heures et quart le soleil tape dans mon dos
Les femmes m'invitent dedans pour prendre un bon p'tit verre d'eau
Je jase et me repose avec la dame de la place
Pendant que les enfants jouent dehors avec leurs fusée en glace

G'Ling G'Ling!
G'Ling G'Ling!
C'est une belle journée d'été
Et si ta maman veut, elle peut goûter
G'Ling G'Ling!
Do you want something?

C'est pas facile quand on n'est pas instruit
Je fais G'Ling G'Ling pour gagner ma vie

G'Ling G'Ling!
G'Ling G'Ling!
Les enfants m'adore presqu'autant que leur père
Ils crient G'Ling G'Ling! G'Ling G'Ling! puis s'en vont chercher leur mère
G'Ling G'Ling!
G'Ling G'Ling!
Do you want something?
Do you want something?
