Lyrics

Il s’appelait Stewball
C'était un cheval blanc
Il était mon idole
Il s’appelait Stewball
C'était un cheval blanc
Il était mon idole
Et moi j’avais dix ans
Notre pauvre père
Pour acheter ce pur- sang
Avait mis dans l’affaire
Jusqu'à son dernier franc
Il avait dans la tête
D’en faire un grand champion
Pour liquider nos dettes
Et payer la maison
Il croyait à sa chance
Il engagea Stewball
Par un beau dimanche
Au grand prix de Saint- Paul
Je sais dit mon père
Que Stewball va gagner
Mais aprés la rivière
Stewball est tombé
Quand le vétérinaire
D’un seul coup l’acheva
J’ai vu pleurer mon père
Pour la première fois
Il s’appelait Stewball
C'était un cheval blanc
Il était mon idole
Et moi j’avais dix ans (x3)

Lyrics translation

His name was Stewball.
It was a white horse.
He was my idol
His name was Stewball.
It was a white horse.
He was my idol
And I was ten years old
Our poor father
To buy this thoroughbred
Had put in the case
Until his last franc
He had it in his head
To make him a great champion
To settle our debts
And pay the House
He believed in his luck
He hired Stewball.
By a beautiful Sunday
At the grand prix of Saint-Paul
I know said My Father
That Stewball will win
But after the river
Stewball fell
When the veterinarian
In one fell swoop he finished it
I saw my father cry
For the first time
His name was Stewball.
It was a white horse.
He was my idol
And I was ten years old (x3)
