Le Sud
Nino Ferrer
The South
It's a place that looks like Louisiana
To Italy
There is laundry hanging on the terrace
And it's pretty
It looks like the South
Time lasts a long time
And life surely
More than a million years
And always in summer
There are lots of children rolling on the lawn
There are lots of dogs
There is even a cat, a turtle, goldfish
Nothing is missing
It looks like the South
Time lasts a long time
And life surely
More than a million years
And always in summer
One day or another there will have to be war
We know it well
We don't like it, but we don't know what to do
We say it's destiny
Too bad for the South
It was still good
We could have lived
More than a million years
And always in summer
