Excellent choice. His best succes released in 1975. One of the most successful song of this year. I often heared this lovely song on the radio. A warm voice, a fragile person, a precious artist.. RIP NINO FERRER 1934-1998 🌻❤️💐
Une musique intemporelle, incroyable elle reste gravée dans mon cœur quand je l'entends à la radio les mauvaises habitudes reviennent on pousse la chansonnette au travail elle se transmet facilement.
This song has become a true classic in French music culture. It was Nino Ferrer's major hit. Certainly a top in his career. I find this song timeless. It doesn't need any remix to match any period of time: the original version is just perfect & carries our minds & hearts away so easily. What holds my attention the most is the ethereal mesmerizing nostalgic atmosphere conveyed by the voice, the lyrics & the reverb effects on vocals.
this song i a tribute to his native country: New Caledonia, a little french island lost in the south pacific, near Australia and New Zealand... wonderful country as wonderful song!
Great song ! Thanks Dereck. Good choice 👍 Great song that breaks the heart and is full of poetry and nostagia. Nino Ferrer was a real tormented soul and you can feel his pain in the music and words of this timeless song.
You chose a prophetic song Dereck! Here, I translated the song for the english speakers: C'est un endroit qui ressemble à la Louisiane -> It's place that looks like Louisiana À l'Italie -> Like Italia Il y a du linge étendu sur la terrasse -> There are clothes lying around on the terrace Et c'est joli -> An it's beautiful On dirait le Sud -> It looks like the south Le temps dure longtemps -> Time lasts a longtime Et la vie sûrement -> And surely life Plus d'un million d'années -> More than a million years Et toujours en été -> And always in summer Il y a plein d'enfants qui se roulent sur la pelouse -> There are many children rolling over on the lawn Il y a plein de chiens -> There are many dogs Il y a même un chat, une tortue, des poissons rouges -> There is even a cat, a turtle, golden fish Il ne manque rien -> Nothing is missing On dirait le Sud -> It looks like the south Le temps dure longtemps -> Time lasts a longtime Et la vie sûrement -> And surely life Plus d'un million d'années -> More than a million years Et toujours en été -> 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 Un jour ou l'autre il faudra qu'il y ait la guerre -> One day or another there must be war On le sait bien -> We already know it On n'aime pas ça, mais on ne sait pas quoi faire -> We don't like it but we don't know what to do On dit, "c'est le destin" -> We say, it's fate Tant pis pour le Sud -> Too bad for the south C'était pourtant bien -> It was really nice On aurait pu vivre -> We could have lived Plus d'un million d'années -> More than a million years Et toujours en été -> And always in summer
One of the most iconic French songs with its timeless lyrics and its awesome final twist from a light-hearted holiday tune to a bleary sinister wartime end of the world cry.
More and more sensitive to French classics, Dereck, I know you're not acting, thanks for your passion and your work.... Universalism thanks to art & music
WAOOUUUUUH ! One of the most famous popular song in the 70's and the 80's. May be the very young people in France don't know this song, but all the others know it. Very very good choice !
This song got this special thing that make some of them timeless. The lyrics and the instrumental are somehow "saying" the same. I mean, you don't have to speak french to feel the indian summer surrounding and to smell the nostalgia in the air. Nino felt pretty unconfortable with Le Sud. At the end of his life, he said that he's been writing hundreds of songs but people will only remember 2 or 3 (including Le Sud).
He made also catchy comic songs such as "Mirza" or "Gaston y'a le téléfon qui son". Makes me think about "Tout va très bien madame la marquise" an old tragic/comic French song from 1935...
It's really melancholic. Most French people could cry hearing this song. Especially if you ever went to the south of France, this song's atmosphere will be instantly familiar.
This one is a classic, an unexpected one at the time since Nino was better known for humorous songs set to rocking rhythms, a bit like J. Dutronc. Try Mirza (also covered by Niagara), Les Cornichons, Ho hé hein bon, etc... It would be an ideal driving song if it wasn’t for the inherent sadness of the last verse: conflict did come to New Caledonia, his childhood home, eventually. It is still unresolved to this day.
A beautiful song with this precise pen that immediately knows how to set a scene, an atmosphere, with just a few well-chosen words. It's the art of great authors to be capable of this feat. The music isn't to be outdone; timeless in its construction but daring arrangements. This title is now a classic in France. That's all for today, folks!
Thank you for your reaction. Nino Ferrer is one on the most interesting french singer of the seventies, with great (british) musicians. If you like this song, please try other ones : La maison près de la fontaine, Les morceaux de fer, Chanson pour Nathalie, L'arbre noir...
Such a beautiful and at the same time sad song by Nino Ferrer who was a very pessimistic guy who ended up taking his own life. Big jazz enthousiast, best known for funny (stupid ?) songs with always great instrumentations. Then he wrote "Le Sud" and "La Maison près de la fontaine", more serious. His life was very intersting, he nearly was a professional archeologist!
What a song 💙💙💙💙 when I listen to it I remind of the country of my father. Nino wrote another fabulous song : la maison près de la fontaine 🏡 Listen to it...
Nino Ferrer is one of the greatest french composer of pop-rock music. He could do anything, and was the only french to compose and sing Rythm' and Blues songs : th-cam.com/video/Uz0yvngSW-M/w-d-xo.html . But he could do also real rock music : th-cam.com/video/CMD_EVAJy48/w-d-xo.html . And on the same LP he could wrote those two songs : th-cam.com/video/ydWdoHvXWaA/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 - th-cam.com/video/JCijtAyvgmg/w-d-xo.html . Too bad France didn't gave him the consideration he deserved as an artist.
Hi man I love what you are doing. If you love French songs, you should listen '' avant toi'' from vitaa and sliman. Total different style from Nino 😅 but it's a cool one.
Okay , lovely song. But , I prefer the NEW WAVE sound of FROM 242. I am listening the LP called Official Version 1986-1987. The dance song is BIG. In Internet , you have the single Controversy Between , proposed by the famous French DJ , LAURENT GARNIER.
Please react to Un Ratito, by Alok, Luis Fonsi (Despacito), Lunay feat Lenny Tavárez, Juliette. I’d love to see your reaction to the music video. Hugs from Brazil!

Priceless song

De la bonne musique, un classique :)
This song is the définition of chill 🤗

His « Rua Madureira » is also very beautiful, inspired by brazilian bossanova
There is also Le telefon
I'm late again 😭. But I managed to get here and watch this song's reaction. Whew... Another good song is added to my collection.
Incredible, I heard it in the pub this morning and thought you should react it !! 😆😆
ma jeunesse 🥰🥰🥰années 1970,les meilleures💝
Incroyable Nino ferrer. C'était un artiste fabuleux! You can listen to "Mirza" or "la rua madareira" which is so beautiful
This song always moves me...😢
Timeless and beautiful French song

Évidemment la beauté
A beautiful, timeless masterpiece from the golden area of French Pop 💞
Nino Ferrer - La rua Madureira (1969) 💔💔💔
Oui j'adore cette chanson
Ma chanson française préféré... il fallait que Dereck la découvre ^^
Very beautiful song 🎶👌
Chanson étudiée en cours de musique a l'école pendant longtemps. Une merveilleuse chanson intemporelle et pleine de poésie.
Love the man and song forever🙏🏻! Thank you.
Considered number one french song on the end of the 20th century. I cried when he commited a suicide in 1998, in the middle of a field
Thank you for your reaction.
Nino Ferrer is one on the most interesting french singer of the seventies, with great (british) musicians.
If you like this song, please try other ones : La maison près de la fontaine, Les morceaux de fer, Chanson pour Nathalie, L'arbre noir...
Gorgeous song. Never gets old. A classic...
Pour oublier qu on s est aimé Dereck ! It was a song about Nino and Brigitte Bardot love affair A fantastic song He was devastated when she left him 😭
Another Nino's beautiful song : Si tu m'aimes encore !
ONE OF MY FAV❤️
J'ai eu des frissons tout le long
This song is so
melancholy. The french lyrics (because he made an English version) is more dramatic. Great artist with a tragic destiny.
Une de mes chansons préférées pour une balade.
Ca serait bien d'une react: Pierre Bachelet "En l'an de 2001"

music and powerful
One of my favorites song
Ah que c'est beau, il faut enchainer avec "Le coup de soleil" de Richard Cocciante.
Etienne Daho - Duel au soleil
@@OptLab J'adore
Oui très bonne idée 👍
Such a soft, beautiful song.
J'adore cette chanson, je la fredonne quand je marche seule sur la plage au bord de l'eau le matin😊
It was one of my favourite songs and even now I don’t dislike it…
Somptueux. Merci Dereck
Iconic song in France. Everybody knows it.
Completely right! I love those car songs for summer sunnet and down windows :)
This song remind me of my childhood 🥰 it's like a warm comfy blanket
Nino Ferrer was a pure diamond. His concept LP "Metronomie" is on the same level of Pink Floyd LP of the same period. he was a genious
Thank you for loving the chanson française
You'll make Anglo-Saxon discover our culture
CLASSIC French music
What a song 💙💙💙💙 when I listen to it I remind of the country of my father.
Nino wrote another fabulous song : la maison près de la fontaine 🏡
Listen to it...
Another hit from him : Le téléfon. I’m warning you : it’s surprising !
C'est culte, ce mec avait tout compris à la musique et à la vie !
There is another excellent one : Mirza. The official video (called a Scopitone at the time) is filmed in a train station. Typic sound of the 60's.
Cette chanson est un chef d'oeuvre, dommage de ne pas comprendre les paroles, tout est dans le texte et l'émotion. Merci Dereck.
French melody rules
nice, thank you ))
Waouh c'est quand même mieux que Mireille Matthieu non !!!
Oui
@François tout est mieux !!! Même la danse des canards c'est mieux !!!!
C’est clair!
Mireille Mathieu était formidable.
Elle a chanté la meilleure version de la Marseillaise.
Donc un peu de respect.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 je dis simplement une évidence débouche toi les oreilles...
Mirza , la maison près de la fontaine, le telefon, Je veux être noir, les cornichons, Oh Hé Hein Bon
oui y'a plein de chansons merveilleuses

Nino Ferrer - Mirza (1965)
Hi Dereck
Just a suggestion : Dyonisos - Song for a jedi
Keep the good work
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
👍😁👍 Thank's dereck
Hi man I love what you are doing. If you love French songs, you should listen '' avant toi'' from vitaa and sliman. Total different style from Nino 😅 but it's a cool one.
the french "imagine"
♥️
Nino jouait de la guitare basse sur scène!
I suggest "Ces gens-là" from Jacques Brel. A beautiful interpretation.
merci
On voyant la pochette,j'imagine que la mère de Mia Frye devait être d'une agréable compagnie
What a beautiful song💞 so sad he commits suicide with a gun, because of the death of his mother few Time before☹️
I heard the story about that, wow 😦
you should try" la maison pres de la fontaine",it's beautifull
Dans le même ton (et peut être inspiré) : Kiss "Odyssey" (1981).
You're lucky: there is an bio in English on Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nino_Ferrer
You can also listen to the english version enven if the lyrics aren’t really similar, it’s the same vibe
Derek, écoutez de Nino Ferrer, « la maison près de la fontaine «
Il y a Moustaki aussi
♥️🌅
Merci Dereck
A la suite
Tu pourrais mettre
FERRAT Jean
'la Montagne''
'' C'est beau la vie''
''Que serais je sans toi''
''ma France''
Derek! You must learn French now!! 😉
Okay , lovely song. But , I prefer the NEW WAVE sound of FROM 242. I am listening the LP called Official Version 1986-1987. The dance song is BIG. In Internet , you have the single Controversy Between , proposed by the famous French DJ , LAURENT GARNIER.
React Mike Brant singing Holly holy, by Neil Diamond. It’s amazing!
Tout cet album est extraordinaire. Le seul problème c est qu on est peu à connaître le reste !
Et à la base "le sud" n est pas le sud de la France.
C'est la nouvelle Caledonie
Metronomie est un album génialissime!
Please react to Un Ratito, by Alok, Luis Fonsi (Despacito), Lunay feat Lenny Tavárez, Juliette. I’d love to see your reaction to the music video. Hugs from Brazil!
Do some 80's italo disco. Like Eddy Huntington for example.
