    Had my wonderful dad translate it for me, he's fluent in 3 languages:
    According to him, the guys seem to say the following:

    Un, deux, trois,
    Mais oui, il a pu tenir bon. x2
    Il a fait pour nous des merveilles. x2

    The translation is:

    One, two, three,
    Oh yes, it has hold on good. x2
    It has done us marvels. x2

    Note: the 2nd line is just 98% I could discern the voice to fit the plausible vocabulary they seemed to express.

    Cheers

    I was just a little too late! Aardy was faster than me! What is the story behind that video. Was god good for them because they drive a Mondial? Maybe thats what they mean.

    I think they are driving to MondiPalooza! LoL, good to see people enjoying the simple beauties in life, a man realizing his dream of driving a Ferrari with his buddies having a good time and counting their blessings! This story crosses boarders, its the story of what a Ferrari can do best like no other car ! :) :)

    Á votre santé!

    Now it gets tricky: It must be a song dedicated to the World or the Mondial !
    I'll buy that Lino !

    In actual fact, it is some light-hearted humor on a very often quoted phrase form the liturgy in catholic churches that we have all heard as kids: "le Seigneur est bon, il a fait pour nous des merveilles"...in some way, it is of the same vein/range as that famous phrase in "The Blues Brothers": "the Lord has mysterious ways"...

    Bien à vous depuis Paris où il pleut.
