- I don't live on a boat euh I live in Méru in Picardie... 
And when I look at the stars and you know it's the night, 
Think all about the misery in the world and I think it's so unfair, 
And I could have been a camionneur hein, if I only had the permit, and I think... 
Why ? Why me ? Why Picardie ? 
But I also think that you and me maybe, we can build a strong relationship based on mutual understanding... And be happy...
