Marseille, Mon Amour Lyrics

In Le Panier's winding streets, I stand

Pastis in hand, memories like sand

The old port's changed, yachts gleam and shine

Where Papa's boat once stood in line

Oh, Marseille, my dear old friend

Your face has changed, but will your heart transcend?

Marseille, Marseille, what a loss

Your face has changed, but will your heart transcend?

Marseille, Marseille, what a loss

(Quel dommage, quel dommage)

Bright minds scattered, paths they cross

(Chemins croisés, loin ils errent)

Exiled wanderers, confused and tossed

(Perdus, jetés, ils persévèrent)

Oh, Marseille, at what cost?

(À quel prix, à quel prix)

La Vieille Charité's shadow looms

Over boutiques in artists' old rooms

Bouillabaisse simmers, a fading art

As fusion cuisine captures the heart

Oh, Marseille, your soul sustained

It pursuit the furals, but more will you forsake

Marseille, Marseille, what a loss

Your face has changed, but will your heart transcend?

Marseille, Marseille, what a loss

(Quel dommage, quel dommage)

Bright minds scattered, paths they cross

(Chemins croisés, loin ils errent)

Exiled wanderers, confused and tossed

(Perdus, jetés, ils persévèrent)

Oh, Marseille, at what cost?

(À quel prix, à quel prix)

La Vieille Charité's shadow looms

Over boutiques in artists' old rooms

Bouillabaisse simmers, a fading art

As fusion cuisine captures the heart

Oh, Marseille, your soul sustained

It pursuit the furals, but more will you forsake

But in our veins, your lifeblood flows

Like mistral winds, our spirit grows

From Noailles to Vieux-Port, we'll sing

Let tradition and progress take wing

But in our veins, your lifeblood flows

Like mistral winds, our spirit grows

From Noailles to Vieux-Port, we'll sing

Let tradition and progress take wing

Marseille, Marseille, what we'v gained

(Ce qu'on a gagné)

New horizons, old ways maintained

(Nouveaux horizons)

Diverse voices, a future ordained

(Voix diverses)

Oh, Marseille, your soul sustained

(Ton âme perdure, ton âme perdure)

Marseille, Marseille, rise again

Your soul endures, beyond the when

In every street, in every song

Marseille, mon amour, you belong
