"le travail c'est la santé, ne rien faire c'est las conserver"
Does anyone have a good translation?
I get the main idea of what it is trying to say. Looking for an accurate translation or a parallel English saying/proverb.

Thanks

that's "a wrong proverb" by a famous french singer "Henri Salvador" who has a big sense of irony.
the evidence is "le travail c'est la santé"...."work is health"!!obvious by Boris Vian
i hope that my english is right!!

Answer

"Work is health, nothing to do is preserve it"
