You wanted to see Vierzon
And we saw Vierzon
You wanted to see Vesoul
And we saw Vesoul
You wanted to see Honfleur
And we saw Honfleur
You wanted to see Hamburg
And we saw Hamburg
I wanted to see Antwerp
We saw Hamburg again
I wanted to see your sister
And we saw your mom
As always
You didn't like Vierzon anymore
We left Vierzon
You didn't like Vesoul anymore
We left Vesoul
You didn't like Honfleur anymore
We left Honfleur
You didn't like Hamburg anymore
We left Hamburg
You wanted to see Antwerp
We only saw its suburbs
You didn't like your mom anymore
We left your sister
As always
But I'm telling you
I won't go any farther
But I'm warning you
I won't go to Paris
Besides, I hate
All the fanfare
The musette waltz
And the accordion
You wanted to see Paris
And we saw Paris
You wanted to see Dutronc
And we saw Dutronc
I wanted to see your sister
I saw Mont Valérien
You wanted to see Hortense
She was in the Cantal
I wanted to see Byzantium
And we saw Pigalle
At Saint-Lazare station
I saw The Flowers of Evil
By chance
You didn't like Paris anymore
We left Paris
You didn't like Dutronc anymore
We left Dutronc
Now I mix up your sister
And Mont Valérien
From what I know of Hortense
I won't go to the Cantal anymore
And too bad for Byzantium
Since I've seen Pigalle
And Saint-Lazare station
It's expensive, and it hurts
By chance
But I'm telling you again
I won't go any farther
But I'm warning you
The trip is over
Besides, I hate
All the fanfare
The musette waltz
And the accordion
But I'm telling you again
I won't go any farther
But I'm warning you
The trip is over
Besides, I hate
All the fanfare
The musette waltz
And the accordion

SONG MEANING

Ever hopped from city to city with someone who never seems satisfied? In Pomplamoose’s lively cover of Vesoul, our unlucky narrator is dragged on a whirlwind tour that starts with small French towns like Vierzon and Vesoul, zigzags to Hamburg, Paris, and even the red-light glow of Pigalle. Each stop feels like ticking a box: You wanted to see it, so we saw it… and now you hate it, so we leave. The rapid-fire itinerary turns into a hilarious cycle of wanderlust and instant boredom, painting a portrait of a relationship stuck on perpetual shuffle.

By the time the accordion-laced refrain pops up, the traveler has had enough. He swears he will go no farther, grumbles about his dislike for flonflons (that old-timey street-music vibe) and the ever-present musette accordion, and calls the whole journey off. Beneath the humor sits a gentle jab at people who believe happiness is always in the next place rather than the present moment. The song’s playful geography lesson doubles as a reminder: if you cannot find contentment where you are, packing another suitcase probably will not help.
