I'm your Kid Charleville -
I will put a cigar in the nose of your pet,
I will drink your absinth
and then tell you what a fool you are,
I'll allow you
to pay for me and entertain me -
I'm your Kid Charleville.
When you come one day
to see Charleville -
all these little streets and markets -
and, of course, the main square! -
I'll tell you "It is such a hole,
It is just a shit-hole man,
and not anything else" -
and you'll look at me
like i've just shot a deer -
I'm your Kid Charleville.
When you're old you will tell everywhere
how you used to know me,
how I came
and how I used to get drunk -
but my joyful body
will be somewhere else -
I'm your Kid Charleville.
