Cours!

(le) bonheur = happiness (bonn - er)

"Le bonheur est dans le pré, cours-y vite, cours-y vite,
Le bonhheur est dans le pré, cours-y vite il va filer" (Paul Fort)

From a famous poem that most kids have to learn in middle school….
Happiness is in the field, run fast, run fast
Happiness is in the field, run fast or it'll go away
Interestingly, at the end of the poem, happiness does flee away.

Le bonheur est dans le pré is also a comedy by French filmmaker Etienne Chatiliez, unfortunately unavailable outside of France.

Since I'll be doing some chasing of my own next week, the French Word of the Day, like me, will be taking a vacation.
