How could I forger
This little piece of paradise
This little piece of land
Where my father still lives?
How could I ever bring myself to leave her?
And to forget that we are brothers, beautiful carnal Correze

Forget this morning that you're Parisian
That you have water in your wine, that you've gone far away

It wasn't my fault
We play false notes
We've followed the wrong path and we've known sorrow
A whole drama plays out, and it makes us feel blue
Your heart aches, you're afraid of happiness

Buying up old paintings
And photographs of cows
That's all you've been able to do
So that you don't forget it
You think I'm a little stupid, you don't like my song
You think I'm weird, a bit too patriotic

The fruits of my analysis won't affect anyone
If your steps have never echoed in my area
It's more serious than a religion, it goes beyond a confession
I love her to death, for better and for worse

And if I go to Heaven, maybe there, I'll see Joel
Guillaume and Jeremy, and my cousin Pidry
Yoan will be off traveling in some other country
Go on, pack your bags, and come join your friends

We want to listen to some Clody Musette and lose our mind
We want one last Chabrol tune, a little shot of booze
Our grandmothers' eyes, our grandfathers' voices
The smell of this land, with its view on the Monedieres

It's leaves you more than an inheritance, it goes beyond all confidences
We're the grandchildren of this beautiful corner of France
Bury us alive, even gag us, if you must
But take care before you feed us till we're full

The changing of the guard will be for you, our little Lucas
We'll leave you the dancefloor when we're gone, now, we're clearing out
The weather has spoiled us, we took advantage of it
Our heads are full of memories, tonight it's time to party

Please accept this motto that I recite
All that it means is "I love you"
You can be sure I'm proud of it, I even have the Correze in my catheter
The thought of being with you tonight
Makes my heart sparkle
Mimi, pour us a drink
Our eyes are all a-sparkle

Please accept this motto that I recite
All that it means is "I love you"
You can be sure I'm proud of it, I even have the Correze in my catheter
The thought of being with you tonight
Makes my heart sparkle
Mimi, pour us a drink
Our eyes are all a-sparkle
