Nino Ferrer Lyrics
"South"

Between the big trees, the flowers and the green grass
The house is there.
It's white and brown and covered with green vine which looks like hair

We call it the South 'cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us more than a million years
And we like to stay there.

So many children are playing in the garden, so many dogs.
There is a cat, a turtle and an old well but not a frog.

We call it the South 'cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us more than a million years
And we like to stay there.

(Solo)

I know one day, I'll have to leave the sweet life, back in the dark.
Don't really care but they won't ask my opinion as a matter of fact.

I hope it's the South 'cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us more than a million years
And we like to stay there.
