À la campagne [English translation]
À la campagne [English translation]
On the countryside,
There's always something to do,
Mushroom picking,
Wood chopping, getting fresh air,
On the counrtyside
We don't care about schedule
As the houses called the same,
It's secondary.
On the countryside
There's always something to see,
Boars, hedgehogs,
Old men on tractors,
On the countryside,
There are places charged with history
Broken castles
and century-old trees
On the countryside
When you're a townfolk
On the countryside
You ask to the peasant
What would the weather be like tomorrow
On the countryside
We want authentic things
Chimney fire
and regional products
On the countryside
We need rustic
A piece of furniture that isn't made of wood
Would ruin our mood
On the countryside
We say we should stay
Leave Paris, the noise,
The stress and the pollution
On the countryside
It's a cliché-party
The quality of life
And the rythm of seasons
On the countryside
We lend sweaters to each other
When we stay late on the deck
On the countryside
There are board games
To which game pieces are missing
On the countryside
At night we close the shutters
There are noises in the house
And outside there are the woods
On the countryside
In my bed, instead of dreaming,
I prefer not to sleep and freak out
On the countryside
On general they wake up early
Not me, I'm still sleeping
For the reasons you know
In the mountains
There are cottages and chamois
But it's not the subject
Of this song....
I was just checking if you were following me
On the countryside
When sunday night arrives
On the countryside
To avoid the traffic
We won't go home to late
On the countryside
I want to be a rustic
Wear a big moustache
And a velvet jacket
On the countryside
I want to talk about terroir
"I’m off to hoop the calanchet
so that it’s not windy
while I’m plowing"
It makes me want
To be tough and silent
The gruff patriarch
Of a summer TV-show on France 2 [French national television channel]
The story of a family
Fighting for it's their estate
But I never have time for that
Because I only stay [on the countryside] during the week end
On the countryside
Can you hear in the distance the tweets
Of the ashy thrush ? [Made up bird's name]
On the countryside
If the Christmas is snowy,
I'll put the little ones in the stable...
