[Verse 1: Orelsan]
I'm from the France where they dance "La Chenille"
Where they slam more cases than crash test dummies
I got college-educated friends, others who've never opened two books
Who are probably loitering on a wall by the streets downtown
My father climbed the ladder to become what he wanted to be
My mother is the housewife advеrtisers wanted to rip off
I know the countrysidе and its pitfalls
Where birds and gossip flutter about

[Chorus: Stromae]
It's always so rainy back home
It's always so rainy back home
Even so, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Back home, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Back home, the weather's nice

[Verse 2: Orelsan]
I'm from Middle-earth where it's full of old people
Where unemployment and drinking form a vicious cycle
Where we badmouth the guests who just left
We're not slow, we just take our time to think
I'm from the middle class, not remarkably classy
Where everyone's looking for a place, Julien Clerc in the minivan
I'd freestyle in my head to the sound of wiper blades
Featuring The Rain in all my verses
[Chorus: Stromae]
It's always so rainy back home
Even so, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Back home, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice

[Verse 3: Orelsan]
Back home, the sun shines 40 days a year
You spend most of the year waiting for it to come
I would stare out the window, locked in my room
Praying for it to end so I could skateboard
All I know is the sound of rain, the smell of wet concrete
I only left 'cause I was scared I'd get rusty
Soaked, I never thought I'd end up missing the bad weather

[Outro: Stromae]
Even so, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Back home, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Even so, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
Back home, the weather's nice, the weather's nice
The weather's nice, the weather's nice
It's always so rainy back home
It's always so rainy back home
It's always so rainy back home
It's always so rainy back home
It's always so rainy back home
