Edeltraud Trncik - 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
