De par son dur labeur, il a reçu son salaire.
Seulement, avec son bidon jaune, il doit affronter son existence misérable.
Mais il s'en fout, il va pouvoir acheter à manger pour sa famille.

Thanks to his hard work, he received his salary.
Only, with his yellow can, he must face his miserable existence.
But he doesn't care; he'll be able to buy food for his family.
