La canicule<\/strong> (the intense heat, heatwave) is incredibly famous in France. Every year once warm weather moves a few degrees too high, everyone starts to get uncomfortable. Being from la Floride<\/strong><\/a>, it reminds me of how entire cities shut down at the first sign of cold weather<\/a>, or even worse, la neige<\/strong> (snow).<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s not much of an exaggeration. When la canicule<\/strong> starts, it feels like la ville de Paris<\/strong> (the city of Paris) starts to shut down. Le trajet<\/strong><\/a> (the commute) becomes longer as trains get cancelled and delayed and people use la chaleur<\/strong> (the heat) as an excuse for running late or missing events.<\/p>\n

Heureusement<\/strong> (luckily), a French comedian has come out with a fun song to at least provide a few laughs while temperatures soar<\/a>. I’m talking about Monsieur Sepy<\/em> and his new song celebrating the hot weather.<\/p>\n

Cette semaine<\/strong><\/a> (this week), le youtubuer fran\u00e7ais<\/a><\/strong> released a new song for la canicule<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

La chanson de la canicule<\/strong> – The Heatwave Song<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Le Youtubeur fran\u00e7ais<\/a><\/strong> (the French Youtuber) is an incredibly funny and great example of French humor with his constant use of le second degr\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> (sarcasm).<\/p>\n

All his videos take the form of musical parodies, playing on well-known French songs or music styles and putting an ironic twist on them with les paroles<\/strong> (the lyrics).<\/p>\n

Being from la Bretagne<\/strong><\/a> (Brittany), the song is a series of jokes about how the Northwest region of France escaped the high temperatures<\/a>. La chanson<\/strong> (the song) uses a traditional style from la Bretagne<\/strong> as the cherry on top, givings the impression tous les Bretons<\/strong> (all the Bretons, <\/em>people from Brittany) are celebrating their good fortune.<\/p>\n

La chanson<\/strong> is realy simple and easy to sing along to so while you’re thinking about the rest of France and the ridiculously hot weather, take a moment to listen to the silly song<\/a> and practice some summertime French.<\/p>\n

Voici la chanson avec les paroles et une traduction anglaise<\/strong> (here’s the song with the lyrics and an English translation):<\/p>\n
