St. Catherine and St. Laurent are intersecting streets, in Montreal. This intersection is particularly infamous for it's prostitutes. I belive that this song is about a man who just couldn't pick a girl and settle down.
Second stanza is about the hooker (that he's been to, or that's an ex of his): she doesn't recognize me, and she just calls out for people
the more i think about this, the harder time i have figuring out what it really means...
the hooker being an ex could be a sort of foreshadowing on how bleak his future will be if he continues like this
Saturday is THE party night by excellence
Minor translation corrections: (as part of it is actually sung in the past perfect)
A pretty girl
Passed me ever so close
She stopped time
At the corner of St. Catherine and St. Laurent
She looked at me
and she smiled
She made me think of nothing at that moment
But like the wind, she left
And I'm awake
Yea I'm awake
