They remind me of the time where I spent my summer holidays with my parents in France. We always had a portable radio on the table which played songs all day long. My mum loved to listen to nostalgie.fm a broadcasting service which aired French and foreign songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Whenever we crossed the border to France the search for nostalgie.fm began in our car radio.
Last year we couldn't find nostalgie.fm so we switched to an unknown broadcaster and there was one song which was aired several times a day. It was the French number one summer 2007 hit sung by Yannick Noah.
I tried to translate the lyrics to test if I still know some French. ^^#

Now listening to it makes me want to spend again my summer break in France. But this year we're going to Greece, not far away from Athens. It's an all in one good-bye, birthday and Cristmas present from my parents. After my brother returns from Atlanta we'll head to the airport. It's the first time in 10 years that we'll travel without our doggie but my brother will take care of him at home :D.
