Les paroles de la chanson
« I live in picardie »
Les Fatals Picards

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
