You weren't born in the street
You weren't born in the gutter
You're not a lost child
Not a bastard child
Since you were born in my head
And you live in my skin
I built your planet
Deep in my brain

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot

I've been dreaming of you for so long
I've been inventing you for so long
I'm dying not to see you
And I feel you in my belly
The day you show up
I'll stop drinking, I promise
At least for a whole week
It will be hard, but oh well

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot

Whether you're a princess's son
Or whether you're a son of nothing
You will be a son of tenderness
You won't be an orphan
But I don't know your mother
I'm looking for her in vain
I only know the misery
Of being all alone on the path

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot

In a corner of my head
There's already your trousseau
A pair of jeans, a moped
A pair of Santiago
You won't go to school
I'll teach you the swear words
We'll play football
We'll go to the bar

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot

You won't wash your hands
Before coming to the table
And you'll call me a drunk
When I'll steal your schoolbag
I'll teach you songs
You'll find them stupid
You might be right
But I'll be offended anyway

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot

Come on, my Pierrot
You'll be the leader of my gang
I'll pass on my knife to you
I'll teach you the tricks of the trade
Come on, my friend
I found you a mom
The three of us will be good
Come on, I'm waiting for you

Pierrot, my kid, my brother, my buddy
My friend, you keep me warm
Pierrot
