[@magaliedeconto1682]

Such a beautiful song ❤ thank for this choice

[@franckb8279]

Masterpiece

[@ericsicard910]

Most of the landscape exposed are from southeast of France but Nino Ferrer was living in the southwest, in the white Quercy region. There is a part of this region nicknamed "The Little Tuscany" as there are many hills with landscapes which are very much alike Italian Tuscany.

[@eliseprevost2233]

The South will triumph in 1975 and sell more than a million copies. it was immediately considered a classic

[@JeanlucPerez-u3g]

J' adore cette chanson

[@mariemartino1310]

Ma mère avait le disque, je revois encore la pochette !! Nostalgie nostalgie 😭😭

[@fredts796]

This song is an antiwar song. It discribes the southern France like an heavenly place. The verse on the domestic animals add a familiar touch of intimicy. Every one can rely to this, having a dog, a cat, or an aquarium, etc. The chorus enlights a long, happy, simple and peaceful life, in a beautiful place, where we whish life could last for a million years. And it enlights the whish that this place stay as beautiful and pristine for a million years. The last verse explains that peace is not eternal, and war will start eventually. And will ruin that tranquillity and this heavenly place. It ends like this : too bad for the South, we could have lived for a million years, in a never ending summer.

Si si, c'est la France (Peillon, Alpes-Maritimes).

Bonjour les Etats - Unis depuis la France. Cette chanson est une pépite. J'avais 8 ans l'année où elle est passée à la radio...Le temps passe...

[@micade2518]

Such a bautiful, beautiful song! And yes, it's about the beautiful, beautiful South of France.

[@ggousier]

I agree, i was born in South of France and i still live there today. I've never managed to live anywhere in France.

[@paulauvray1962]

[@MrAngelDevilSoul]

I love this song so much. Thanks for the reaction!

[@eliseprevost2233]

Nino Ferrer is an Italian singer-songwriter, and actor, naturalized French. After several failures, he found success in 1966 with "Mirza", a humorous song, evoking a man who lost his dog and is looking for it everywhere. Very beautiful songs but also some funny ones like Les cornichons, le Téléfon, ho hé hien bon, Je veux être noir,

[@guiluxfantastic]

et de père italien et de mère française, d'où sa parfaite maitrise de la langue

[@Staklihen]

Si tu veux entendre une autre facette de Nino Ferrer, je te conseille son album Rats and Rolls.

[@chrissyli1]

A beautiful song❤

[@TerabKult]

Je deviens très fan de ta chaine. Tu respectes notre culture. Si un jour tu viens en France, je t'accueillerai comme un Roi (sans l'ablation de la tête) ;)

[@mariemartino1310]

(sans l'ablation de la tête, quelle chance !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

[@thesilencer8074]

This song will always remind me of “Une belle Histoire” by Michel Fugain. A beautiful song that has the same kind of vibe.

[@francartagnan1025]

The village at the top of this cliff is ROCAMADOUR which is located in the south in the department (n° 46) of Lot. I saw it, from another cliff facing it, when I was a teenager (more than 50 years ago). And the view is exceptional.

[@ggousier]

On pourrait lui proposer la chanson de Gérard Blanchard "Rock Amadour" 😉

[@Thunderworks]

No, the little village is Peillon, in the Alpes-Maritimes.

[@Martine.France]

Peace = paix

[@kaa13]

And what about William Sheller ?

[@hellemarc4767]

The village must be Èze, which is close to Nice, on the Côte d'Azur (the French Riviera).

[@AlternateContent]

Non c'est Peillon.

[@arthurflou4250]

When this song came out in 1975, I listened to it hundreds of times. It must be said that I am a “chti” from the north of France. this musical postcard made me dream. When he talks about the War it was because we were in the middle of the Cold War. Since the war against the USSR has not taken place and I live in the South. The South Song by Nino Ferrer 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 Over a million years old And always in summer There are lots of children rolling around 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 Over a million years old And always in summer Di-di, di-di, di-di, di-di Di-di, di-di, di-di, di-di Di-di, di-di, di-di, di-di 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 They say, "it's destiny" So much the worse for the South It was good though We could have lived Over a million years old And always in summer

[@Jerome-pr5jz]

C est le sud de la france si... Yes, it s france...south france...

[@MrPaulangela]

Cette chanson évoque la Nouvelle Calédonie et non pas le sud de la France mmétropolitaine.Les images illustrent des paysages francais du continent européen. La nouvelle Calédonie est dans le Pacifique et a connu des révoltes Kanaques ( premiers habitants indigènes de l'île). Nino Ferrer a composé cette chanson bien avant la révolte . Visionnaire , le poète !🙂

[@coupdegenie51]

La reprise par "feu chatterton" est superbe, certains de leurs morceaux pourraient être l'objet d'une vidéo.

[@Jerome-pr5jz]

J irais écouter.je la connais pas

[@feralmario310]

Bravo Nino ! see you to the other side

[@mariolamazur9814]

❤

[@paulauvray1962]

yes this is south ( le sud ) of France

[@floflems458]

my god this song ...

[@grouloulle]

Time lasts a long time.

Nino Ferrer was a great singer-songwriter too often forgotten because fiercely independent of the record companies, he will be marginalized by these, settling in a small village in the Lot department in the Occitanie region chosen for its greenery, peaceful life but also its provocative name Montcuq (Mon Cul) where he will finance his own recording studio and live in a threesome with his wife and black mistress who he will show naked on the picture of his single the South always by provocation and who is the mother of the choreographer Mya Frye who invented the dance of the Macarena.He will write and compose hit songs in extremely varied styles, the whimsical song (Gaston has the telefon that sounds, Myrza, the Cornichons), in a more rock style (I would like to be black) in the 60s and hits that became classics of French chanson like 'le Sud' in 1975 and La maison près de la Fontaine in 1972 an ecological song before the hour. But his biggest international success will be Un año de amor in 1965, starring the Italian singer Mina, whose Spanish version will relive the childhood of young Pedro Almodovar, a future Spanish director who will make the soundtrack for his film Heels with Needles Reinterpreted by the Spanish singer Luz Casal in 1992, which will make it a new international success. He died tragically in 1994 by committing suicide with a rifle in the fields after learning of the death of his mother for whom he believed to be responsible, who had fallen while visiting the construction site of his son’s house.By the way, he also had a liaison with the famous French actress Brigitte Bardot in the early 1970s.

[@christianmoricet2981]

Bonjour, pour moi cela fait référence au Sud des États Unis avant la guerre de sécession .

[@cleiophane2287]

Si c'est la France

[@rogercageot-prod]

Pictures of south (Gordes, and many more), but the song is here the beauty in our heart, not the pictures. Too bad, not a single comment about music here

[@isabelle070209]

Je pense toujours à la version de Steeve Estatof

[@federalisteconstitutionnel]

Peut être, malheureusement bien approprié à notre temps ! , et aux circonstances ! ...

[@Tiisiphone]

The slideshow is showing the South of France, however the lyrics hints at the Southern United States, just before the Civil War, and about the Civil War itself.

[@jeanmichel2642]

No the south refers to new caledonia where he comes from. A french territory near new zealand. The mention of the war refers to the tension between natives and the french people, and the independence claims for decades.

[@kaa13]

It echoes for French with the North Africa French territories...

[@laurent7003]

Mylene Farmer pliz the Queen in France

[@jean-noelthomas]

Wiki de Nino Ferrer: "(Nouméa) En 1932, Mounette et Pierre s'y rencontrent à l'issue d'une représentation de théâtre. Marié en 1933, le couple décide quelques mois plus tard de passer des vacances en Italie. Agostino Ferrari naît à Gênes alors que ses parents résident chez ses grands-parents paternels. De retour en Nouvelle-Calédonie, sa famille lui offre un cadre insouciant au sein duquel son caractère déterminé voire colérique apparaît rapidement. Ses parents décident de passer de nouvelles vacances en Italie en 1939, et s'y trouvent bloqués par le début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ..." Bon les gens Nino Ferre est moitié calédonien par sa mère, et il a passé les 5 premières année de sa vie à Nouméa... T'en veux du "Sud"? La France aux antipodes...! Ensuite la guerre le bloque en Italie... On y est! Donc.. finalement, ce qui "ressemble à la Louisiane, à l'Italie", c'est la maison de la famille de sa mère: la "Maison Magnin"

[@GentianeQuinze]

La France était belle

[@paulauvray1962]

la France est toujours belle 🤔c'est le contenant qui a changé et qui n'est pas beau 🤨

[@Thunderworks]

Elle l'est toujours, merci pour elle.

[@cb3609]

la France est toujours belle, ses habitants ont juste oubliés qui ils étaient

[@loupiat2173]

Il faut dire que Le Sud dont il est question dans cette chanson n'a rien à voir avec le sud de la France et certainement pas avec Nice comme on peut le lire dans les commentaires, il s'agit en fait de la Nouvelle Calédonie d'où venait la mère de Nino Ferrer.

[@jeanmarie34LGM]

listen Claude François : the original of my way ( comme d'habitude)..the song (reste) and (magnolias for ever) Thanks i appreciate yours react videos.

[@M_A-C]

[@didierfaudry-oc8fh]
