À ch'val sur ton patio
Rouge Pompier Lyrics

In Rouge Pompier's song À ch'val sur ton patio, the lyrics depict a person who is both impressed and critical of someone who is wealthy and proud of their status. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the person's wealth but also suggesting that they may be too proud of it. The repeated phrase "À ch'val sur ton patio" (On horseback on your patio) may be seen as a metaphor for being above others or looking down on them. The singer then exclaims how ridiculous it is to be on a horse on one's patio, emphasizing the foolishness of being so overtly proud.

Interestingly, the singer also admires the person's courage, perhaps recognizing that it takes some bravery to live in such an ostentatious manner. The phrase "Calvaire que c'est cave" (Holy shit, that's stupid) shows a mix of criticism and amusement at the situation. The second verse amplifies the absurdity of the situation, describing the person as being "monté sur ta galerie sur un vrai fucking ch'val" (riding on their balcony on a real fucking horse). While the singer may be criticizing this person, there is an intriguing fascination with their wealth and enormity of ego.

One potential interpretation of the song is that it critiques the superficiality and arrogance of those with wealth, while also recognizing that they may have a certain courage that allows them to live without fear of judgment. Additionally, the song may be a satire of class differences and the ridiculousness of showing off one's wealth.
