[Verse 1]
Sitar spinning, trance pads swelling, time to learn the craft
Elderly Quebecers, decades of history mapped
They speak fast, regional, non-standard on the tongue
Anglicisms woven in, sacres from when they were young
"Câlice," "ostie," "maudit" — not profanity to fear
Religious lexicon embedded, you gotta hold it near
Dated phrases, 1940s syntax still alive
You compress your comprehension just to help them survive
[Chorus]
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Six objectives burning through the clinical aura
Understand, conduct, write — navigate and know
Situate the patient, manage risk below
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Quebec French therapy — let the knowledge flow
[Verse 2]
Full therapeutic session, intake through to close
Reflection, reframing, psychoeducation — one of those
You hold the register steady, you don't fumble for a phrase
Alliance intact, francophone patient met your gaze
No awkward pause while searching for the word you lost
Code-switching mid-session carries too much cost
You pivot toward closure with appropriate precision
Clinical French fluency — that's the core decision
[Chorus]
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Six objectives burning through the clinical aura
Understand, conduct, write — navigate and know
Situate the patient, manage risk below
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Quebec French therapy — let the knowledge flow
[Bridge]
Write the clinical notes, meet your professional order's standard
Situate the patient — history of English power manhandled
French Quebecers navigating conquest, silence, suppression
You carry that context into every single session
Health system, social services, legal code for elders
CLSC, curatelle — you're threading through the welders
Elder abuse, neurocognitive decline, fin de vie
Suicide risk in French, Quebec law, you must agree
[Verse 3]
Gerontological terrain, high stakes on every call
End-of-life conversations where you cannot stall
Dementia indicators surfacing mid-phrase
You respond with protocol precision through the haze
La loi québécoise frames what you can and can't do
Rights of the aging patient — you hold them in your view
Six objectives, interconnected, spiraling complete
Sitar looping, trance ascending, therapy elite
[Chorus]
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Six objectives burning through the clinical aura
Understand, conduct, write — navigate and know
Situate the patient, manage risk below
Ми вчимося разом, la mente aperta ora
Quebec French therapy — let the knowledge flow
[Outro]
Comprendi, conduci, scrivi — conosci il quadro
The elderly Quebecer deserves your full saber
Hypnotic preparation, purposeful and vast
Six objectives mastered — built to outlast
