In the country there's always something to do
_____
Picking mushrooms, chopping wood
_____
In the country, we don't give a damn about schedules
_____
Like the houses with that name, it's secondary
_____
In the country, there's always something to see
_____
Wild boars, hedgehogs, old guys on tractors
_____
In the country, there're places full of history
_____
Busted castles and hundred-year-old trees
_____
In the country, when you're a city dweller
_____
What the weather will be tomorrow
_____
In the country, we want authentic stuff
_____
A fire in the fireplace and local produce
_____
In the country, we need rustic stuff
_____
A piece of furniture that's not wood
_____
In the country, we say we'd like to stay
_____
Leave Paris, the noise, the stress and pollution
_____
In the country, clichés run wild
_____
Quality of life and the rhythm of the seasons
_____
We lend each other sweaters when we hang around on
_____
Missing some pieces
_____
In the country, at night, we close the shutters
_____
There's noises in the house and outside in the forest
_____
In the country, in my bed, instead of dreaming
_____
I'd rather not close an eye and freak out
_____
In the country, in theory you get up early
_____
For reasons you know
_____
In the mountains there's chalets, chamois
_____
But that's not the point of this song
_____
I just wanted to see if you were following
_____
In the country, when Sunday night comes
_____
To avoid traffic jams
_____
We might not head back too late
_____
In the country, I feel like being a countryman
_____
With a big mustache and a velvet vest
_____
I feel like talking terroir
_____
'I'ma go hoop the calanchet
_____
So the wind won't blow through the fields'
_____
It makes me want to be sturdy and silent
_____
The gruff patriarch of a France 2 summer series
_____
The story of a family fighting for its estate
_____
But I never have time
_____
'Cause I only stay for the weekend
_____
Can you hear in the distance the cry of the ash-grey grivette
I'll bring the bistouquets in
