Translation of Il En Faut Peu Pour Être Heureux from French to English
It takes little to be happy
Really very little to be happy
You must be satisfied with the necessary
A little fresh water and greenery
That nature provides us
A few rays of honey and sunshine
I usually sleep under the foliage
And the whole jungle is my home
All the bees in the forest
Gather nectar for me in the groves
And when I turn over a big stone
I know how to find ants underneath
Try it, it's good, it's sweet
It really takes little
Very little to be happy! (oh yes!)
To be happy
It takes little to be happy
Really very little to be happy
Chase all your worries from your mind
Take life on the bright side
Laugh, jump, dance, sing
And you'll be a very well-groomed bear!
Picking a banana, yes
It's done without a trick (ouch!)
But it's a whole drama
If it's a cactus
If you grab fruits without thorns
There's no need to be careful
But if the fruit of your thefts is full of thorns, it's much less good!
So little one, did you understand?
It really takes little
Very little, to be happy!
To be happy?
To be happy!
Ah, my god, how good it is to live!
Try it, relax
Yes, refresh yourself, make yourself comfortable
Come on my belly
And let me tell you something, little brother
If you work like that bee
Hey, you'll make yourself sick
Don't waste your time on the impossible
And if you can find it, then good for you!
And you'll see that everything is resolved
When you do without superfluous things
Then you won't worry anymore
It really takes little, very little, to be happy
It takes little to be happy
Really very little to be happy
Chase all your worries from your mind, yippee!
Take life on the bright side
Laugh, jump, dance, sing
And you'll be a very well-groomed bear!
Yeah!
And you'll be a very well-groomed bear, yippee!
