Music video
At the beginning of the video Stromae is sitting in his office. After a hard day's work, he apparently wants to visit his child, but as he arrives at his wife's house he is told to leave. He proceeds to walk down the street, and as he does this a homeless man steals his coat. He then enters a pub. At first he does not appear to enjoy himself, but as he becomes more inebriated he begins to sing on a small stage. After his performance he passes out, and is brought back by an unknown man from the pub to his office desk in the first scene, where the video started.
Covers and remixes
Pitbull covered this song under the name of "Guantanamera". Also, American singer Lumidee released a cover version of the song along with rapper Chase Manhattan in March 2010. Kanye West and Gilbere Forte released a remix together in August 2010.
