Y'a Jeff qui fait la gueule Assis sur le trottoir Depuis qu'il est tout seul Il est pas beau à voir Y'a aussi la Mathilde Qu'est jamais revenue Y'a aussi la Mathilde Qui ne reviendra plus Et puis y'a la Frida qui n'a aimé que lui Chez ces gens-là, on est jamais parti Mais lui il s'en fout bien Mais lui il dort tranquille Il n'a besoin de rien Il a trouvé son île Une île de soleil et de vagues de ciel Et il pleut sur Bruxelles Les marins d'Amsterdam S'mouchent plus dans les étoiles La Marie qu'a des larmes A noyé un canal Et puis y'a les Flamandes Qui n'oublient rien du tout De Vesoul à Oostende On s'habitue, c'est tout Seules Titine et Madeleine Croient qu'il est encore là Elles vont souvent l'attendre au train 33 Mais lui il s'en fout bien Mais lui il dort tranquille Il n'a besoin de rien Il a trouvé son île Une île de soleil et de vagues de ciel Et il pleut sur Bruxelles A force de dire "j'arrive" A force d'en parler A force de dire "J'arrive" Il y est quand même allé Il a rejoint Jojo, La Fanette et Fernand Peut-être un peu trop tôt Mais lui il est content Il n'a pas entendu Que des milliers de voix Lui chantait "Jacky ne nous quitte pas!" Mais lui il s'en fout bien Mais lui il dort tranquille Il n'a besoin de rien Il a trouvé son île Une île de soleil et de vagues de ciel Et il pleut sur Bruxelles Mais lui il s'en fout bien Mais lui il dort tranquille Il n'a besoin de rien Il a trouvé son île Une île de soleil et de vagues de ciel Et il pleut sur Bruxelles
