Frippons is a charming and somewhat old-fashioned word that translates to "rascals" or "mischievous ones". It's not a word you encounter every day, making it quite memorable.
In the song, the lyrics "On prendra des photos, on fera les frippons" suggest that the travelers will take photos and act playfully or a bit naughty, in a lighthearted, fun way. It perfectly captures the joyful and adventurous spirit of exploring new places.
🛫 J'apprends La Géographie turns the globe into a playground. Jemy invites us to board an imaginary plane that lands in Japan, Spain, Australia, and Africa, snapping photos, greeting locals with friendly French phrases, and marveling at kangaroos, elephants, and even giant mosquitoes. The chorus “Traversons les pays du monde” keeps the journey rolling, creating a catchy rhythm that makes each destination feel like the next stop on a fun-filled treasure hunt.
Beneath the playful sightseeing, the song is a lesson in curiosity. Each verse shows how travel broadens the mind: we pick up new words, meet new friends, and collect stories to share back home. By the time the plane returns “à la maison,” listeners have toured four continents, practiced useful French greetings, and learned that the world is full of wonders waiting to be explored.
