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
