Since the Basques and the Bretons
The Alsatians, the Occitans
The Corsicans, the Ch'timis, the Walloons
They all want to be independent
Since they all want autonomy
That in principle they are not wrong
Well, it's decided, me too
I take my guitar and I shout loudly

That I am the separatist
Of the fourteenth district
Yes, I am the autonomist
From the Porte d'Orléans

The 14th district
It's been my neighborhood for twenty-five years
It's in its streets that I spend my time
In its bistros that I ponder
When I walk along its streets
I can't forget that once
Vercingetorix fought
Close to the metro, Alesia

I am the separatist
Of the fourteenth district
Yes, I am the autonomist
From the Porte d'Orléans

The 14th district
Has its own language and culture
And the highway Porte d'Orléans
It's the beginning of the wear and tear
In the thirteenth, I have friends
Who have somewhat the same ideas as me
We will make a common program
In the elections, we will present ourselves

Because I am the separatist
Of the fourteenth district
Yes, I am the autonomist
From the Porte d'Orléans

Of course, the Seine does not water us
But that can always be arranged
With petitions, why not?
We could perhaps divert it
All this to say that the fourteenth
It's a neighborhood that's not ordinary
Except for the cops who are the same
As in the rest of the capital

I am the separatist
Of the fourteenth district
Yes, I am the autonomist
From the Porte d'Orléans, oh yeah
