Translated lyrics of La Goutte by Swing

This is a difficult song to translate. Here is my attempt:

I’m going into the forest, not a pine forest

To empty my mind by filling it up

I’m going into the forest, not a pine forest

Everything’s good

 

C’mon, There’s no high speed,

No download, no live feed,

And no MP3s so leave your Blackberry

 

REF:

It’s the drop that drips

On the tip, Oh well

It’s the drop that drips

On the tip of the tap

It’s the drop that drips

Everything’s swell

 

Sit down (Pull up a log) and a start a fire

Life is short, you do your best

Sit down and a start a fire

It gets better

 

C’mon, There’s no high speed,

No download, no live feed,

No, no Survivor, forget your Loft Story

 

REF

 

Do you feel like coming to my camp this summer?

It takes time to appreciate it

Do you feel like coming to my camp this summer?

There will be sweating

 

C’mon, There’s no high speed,

No download, no live feed,

Forget about your George Bush and disconnect your TV

Everybody get down, get down

It’s up to us to party

Everybody get down

Let’s leave our problems downtown

Everybody get down

In the forest no one’s around

Everybody get down

Let’s leave our problems downtown
