Le Sud [English translation]

It's a place that looks like Louisiana

Like Italy

There are clothes outside on the terrace

And that's lovely

It looks like the South1

Time seems to last longer

And life lasts surely

More than a million years

And always during the summer

There are many children who are playing on the lawn

There are many dogs

There's even a cat, a turtle, some goldfish

Nothing is missing

It looks like the South

Time seems to last longer

And life lasts surely

More than a million years

And always during the summer

One day or another

There will be war

As we all know

We don't like it, but we don't know what to do

We say that it's fate

Too bad for the South

However that was nice

We could have lived

More than a million years

And always during the summer
