La Tête en bas

Voici la fameuse chanson "Home among a gum tree". Comment vous dire ?! Ici, c'est un peu leur "Il était un petit navire" ou "Frère Jacques" : tous les gamins la connaissent ! Et maintenant, nous aussi... Alors, à votre tour !

 

A noter, l'interprétation remarquable de Mike Shepherd, propriètaire de la Yurtfarm et (si, si !) businessman. Nous remercions pour cette vidéo la participation de Dong et Ina, nos amis woofers coréens, ainsi que la "woof house" pour avoir accueilli ce concert improvisé...

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus

Give me a home among the gum tree,

With lots of plum trees,

A sheep or two or a kangaroo,

Clothesline out the back,

Veranda out the front,

And an old rocking chair.

 

 

One

I’ve been around the world couple of times or maybe more.

Seen the sites, I’ve had delights of every foreign shore.

When my friends all ask me the place I adore

Well, I tell them right away…

 

<Chorus>

 

Two

See me in the kitchen cookin’up a roast, Vegemite on toast.

Just you and me and a cuppa tea. Later on we’ll settle down

and huddle up on the porch and watch the possums play.

 

<Chorus>

 

Three

Safeway on the corner, Woolies down the street.

New world’s just been opened as they regulate the heat.

Trade all my tomorrows for a simple bush retreat where the kookaburras play.

 

<Chorus>

 

Four

Some people live in houses with fences all around.

Others live in mansions, some beneath the ground.

But like the bush you know, with rabbits running’ round

And a pumpkin vine outback.

 

<Chorus>
