I come from France where we dance the caterpillar
Where we take more hits than crash test dummies
I have friends who are graduates, others who haven't read two books
Who are probably on a wall, in the streets of the city center
My father climbed the ladder to become what he wanted to be
My mother is the housewife that advertisers want to target
I know the countryside and its big clogs
Where it doesn't fly high, the gossip and the birds

Still as much rain at my place
Still as much rain at my place
But it's still beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, at my place, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
At my place, it's beautiful

I come from the middle earth where there are plenty of old people
Where unemployment and herbal tea form a vicious circle
Where we criticize the guests who have just left
It's not that we're slow, it's that we take our time to think
I come from the middle class, moderately classy
Where everyone is looking for a place, Julien Clerc in the minivan
I was freestyling in my head to the sound of the windshield wipers
There's rain featuring in all my sentences

Still as much rain at my place
But it's still beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, at my place, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful

At my place, there's sun forty days a year
You can spend most of the year waiting for it
I was looking out the window, locked in my room
I was praying for the end of the downpour and go do some ramp
I only know the sound of the rain, the smell of wet concrete
If I left, it's because I was afraid of rusting
Soaked, I would never have thought
That the bad weather would end up missing me

It's still beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, at my place, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful but it's still beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, at my place, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful

Still as much rain at my place
Still as much rain at my place
Still as much rain at my place
Still as much rain at my place
Still as much rain at my place
