Translation
Work means good health
Work means good health
And to maintain it one must be idle
The prisoners of work
Are as good as dead
Those people running at great speed
In their cars, metro or bicycles
Do they go and see a funny movie?
Not at all, they are going to work
Work means good health
And to maintain it one must be idle
The prisoners of work
Are as good as dead
They slave away’ eleven month so they can enjoy a holiday
They are as good as dead when they go away
A month later look how strong they are
But they must go back to their jobs
And what about the lots of those
Who look for work like crazy
I for my part the work chases me
And it won't catch me too soon.
Now in the smallest village
People work like crazy
So they can buy the goodies
And once they got them, well, they're dead.
Work means good health
And to maintain it one must be idle
The prisoners of work
Are as good as dead.
Work means good health
And to maintain it one must be idle
The prisoners of work
Are as good as dead.
