Discover the story of the song > Allo Maman Bobo – Alain Souchon

The protagonist in the song is feeling unhappy and restless. He walks alone along a train track, but he doesn't have anything on his mind. He kicks a small iron box, but there's nothing for him to do. He feels bad in both the countryside and the city, maybe because he's too sensitive. He tries to distract himself by going to parties and having fun, but he ends up feeling sick and throwing up. Even though he's now performing in music halls, he still feels unhappy on stage and in the city. He wanted to have adventures and be free, but instead he feels lost and dreamy.
