I think it's fun to add the music that fits your mood.
We have an extremely wet and very windy grey Monday
overhere in Belgium today, but I'm not going to let it get to me!
Instead I am posting a French song by Gérard Lenorman.
It is called la ballade des gens heureux.
The ballad of the happy people.
And I am one of them.
You want to know why?
Well I'm happy because we have booked a small trip
to Normandy in France, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Gerard Lenorman was born in Normandy by the way.
I have always loved this song!
I never can help myself, I just have to sing along!
Notre vieille terre est une étoile This old planet is a star
Où toi aussi tu brilles un peu and you shine on it too
Je viens te chanter la ballade, I sing this ballad for you
la ballade des gens heureux the ballad of the happy people.
je viens te chanter la ballade, I sing this ballad for you
