At Home in Marseille

Chris found this song called "Marseille" by Patrick Fiori that he wanted to share with everyone. He has translated the lyrics below. We both really love it! Some of the locations may look familiar to you if you have seen our photos of Marseille.

We are going to miss our home here in Marseille. We look forward to returning here in the future!


The paper is a little yellow,
but the colors come back,
All on does is close your eyes,
to return back there,
Oh, I hope that I will always be,...
At home, in Marseille
The Old Port stretches out,
Like two arms in the sea,
It has often that,
I already sang of it like this
I didn't always love every day,
but I suffer far from it,
Oh I hope to one day be,
At home in Marseille
I often truly forget the distance,
When I left the streets to go and take my chance,
But it isn't long that I don't think of there,
Oh, Marseille.
It is like when one stays too long staring at the sun.
You open your eyes slowly,
and the colors come back,
a little more beautiful like the years of sadness and joy,
passing behind,
Oh I hope to one day be,
At home in Marseille
It's true,I often truly forget the distance,
When I left the streets to go and take my chance,
But it isn't long that I don't think of there,
Oh, Marseille.
