Je suis toujours tres nostalgique, au sujet de l'australie, surtout quand me reviennent en tête 2 chansons en particulier....
Mary, je suis sure que tu confirmeras... et je me devais de les rappeller sur ce blog.. qui a été quand meme créé et dédié a notre aventure australienne a la base, meme si, rentrées, je vais tenter de le faire vivre encore un peu.
L'une de ces chanson est la suivante : �Home Among the Gum Trees�, de John Williamson
Pour ceux qui n'ont pas vecu l'aventure australienne, ca ne dira rien.. mais regardez la petite vidéo, ou des enfants 'dancent' (un peu style 'a la fete de l'école' chez nous) sur cette petite chansonnette australienne sympathique...
et.. maintenant.. imaginez vous un bus rempli de jeunes touristes, comme moi et mary, chantant et faisant la meme choregraphie !
John Williamson - Home Among the Gum Trees
Pour entendre la chanson, cliquer ici !
I�ve been around the world a couple of times, or maybe more,
I�ve seen the sights, I�ve had delights on every foreign shore,
but when my mates all ask me the place that I adore,
I tell them right away.
CHORUS :
GIVE ME A HOME AMONG THE GUM TREES,
WITH LOTS OF PLUM TREES, A SHEEP OR TWO, A KA-KANGAROO,
A CLOTHES LINE OUT IN THE BACK, VERANDAH OUT THE FRONT,
AND AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR.
You can see me in the kitchen cooking up a roast,
or Vegemite on toast, just you and me, a cup of tea.
And later on we�ll settle down and mull up on the porch,
and watch the possums play.
CHORUS
There�s a Safeway up the corner, and a Woolys down the street,
a brand new place theyve opened up where they regulate the heat,
but I�d trade them all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat
where the kookaburras call.
CHORUS
Some people like their houses with fences all around,
others live in mansions, and some beneath the ground.
But Me, I like the bush, you know with rabbits running �round,
and a pumpkin vine out the back.
CHORUS x2
Et la 2em chanson....
Arf Mary, souviens toi le bus Cairns/Alice Springs, ou, a 5h du mat', dans le bus, on avait cette chanson... qui repassait lorsque le soleil se levait !!!.....
Il s'agit du sur-célébre chez les Backpackers : le G'day g'day de Slim Dusty ... royal !
SLIM DUSTY - G�DAY G�DAY

CHORUS :
G�DAY G�DAY, HOW YA GOIN�, HAT D�YA KNOW, WELL STRIKE A LIGHT
G�DAY G�DAY, AND HOW YA GO-O-O-IN�
JUST SAY G�DAY G�DAY G�DAY AND YOU�LL BE RIGHT
Isn�t great to be an Aussie
Takin� a walk along the street
Lookin� in shops or buyin� a paper
Stoppin� and havin� a yarn with people that you meet
Down at the pub or at a party
Whenever you�re stuck for what to say
If you wanna be dinky-di, why don�t you give it a try
Look �em right in the eye and say goo�day
CHORUS
Now when Italians meet they all go crazy
The blokes all like to hug each other too
The Yanks invented �hi� �and see you later�
While the Pommy will shake your hand and say �how do you do�
Now watch out for a Frenchmen or he�ll kiss you
The Spaniards go for �Olah� and �Olay�
But in the land of the cockatoo, pole cats and the didgeridoo
When you meet an Aussie ten-to-one here�s what he�ll say
CHORUS
It�s a greeting that you�ll hear across Australia
From Geraldton to Goulburn, Gundagai
It�s as dinkum as the Dingo and the Dahlia
And you spell it with a G, apostrophe, a D-A-Y
CHORUS
Créez un carnet
G'day G'day .... Give me a home ...
