Hello,
Hello,
Where are you from ?
I am from Picardie
What ?

I am from Picardie
WHAT ?
I am from Picardie
Oh you mean just like the "man of the Picardie" ?
Yes exactly, except I don´t live on a peniche
So where do you live then ?
Bah, I live in Picardie Bah,
Just like the "man of the Picardie" ?
Yes, enfin, euh...

I am from Picardie, the land of the rallye
I am from Picardie, the land of 2 be 3
I am from Picardie, you know Annie Cordy ?
She´s not from Picardie... just not like me

So you live on a boat then ?
I don´t live on a boat I live in Méru in Picardie

And when I look at the stars and you know it´s the night
I think about all the misery in the world and I think it´s so unfair
And I could have been a camionneur if I only had the permit
And I think why ? Why me ? Why Picardie ?
But I also think... you and me... maybe
We could built a strong relationship based on mutual understanding
And be happy...

Happy in Picardie if you stay with me
Please stay in Picardie, that´s not so much pourri
Fatal Picardie, must I be so lonely ?
Fucking Picardie, mort au rat pays

I am gened but, look Jean Paul, I´m not sure I can stay
I´ve got to go back to where I belong to,
I must go back far from you,
To my country, to my place
Cause I think I forgot to close the gaz
I must go back to Saint Etienne...
I´m sorry, but my name is not Jean Paul,
It´s William
William ! !
Sorry...
William ! !
Sorry ! !

Happy in Picardie if you stay with me
Please stay in Picardie, that´s not so much pourri
Fatal Picardie, must I be so lonely ?

Fucking Picardie, mort au rat pays
