Bienvenue chez moi [English translation]

[Verse 1 : Oli]

Did I ever tell you about Bordeaux ? (No)

On the docks we like to call pretty girls shaped like cannelés

I saw the expanse of vineyards through the porthole

Mirror, water mirror, tell me which is the fairest one of all.

[Verse 2 : Bigflo]

I've gone through Normandie, I saw cities and beaches (Oh yeah ?)

I'm not going to lie to you, I mainly saw cows (Haha)

I saw lions and lionesses with roaring heart

A haven/Le Havre of peace when I went through Rouen.

[Verse 3 : Oli]

A stop by Lille, it's not one of the prettiest cities that's right

But on the big square, I felt free

Felt small, felt ch'ti in the setting.

People were warmer than the weather outside (true).

[Verse 4 : Bigflo]

I've gone through Lyon and I didn't understand right away

Why when I was saying "Hello", people answered "69 hard-on"

I hung around with all my suburbans

I was told there were only jerks at Saint-Étienne.

[Verse 5 : Oli]

I need to tell you about Marseille

Its harbour, its alleys a bit dirty

And I even got the accent by singing in the stadium

Among these big mouths I was very impressed

I heard some cicadas, not the noise of kalashnikovs.

[Verse 6 : Bigflo]

I've gone to Saint-Étienne to take some fresh air (yeah)

I was forced to wear a freaking green shirt (fuck)

I hung Martyrs street with all my suburbans (and yeah)

I was told there were only jerks at Lyon. (no !)

[Chorus : Bigflo & Oli]

Welcome to my home

Whether you come from a big city, or a small town

You have to see this, ah, ah (ah ah)

We have the most beautiful girls, the most beautiful landscapes

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

[Verse 7 : Bigflo]

In Brest and Rennes, I felt a little dumb

When people told me they weren't French but Bretons

Big-hearted sailors, a little too much drunk (yeah)

Sailing on a cider sea.

[Verse 8 : Oli]

A day in Paris and Notre-Dame made a scene/Seine (oh yeah ?)

She told me I was too slow and that our little accents bothered her

She is pressing and oppressive

She is stressful and cruel

She is hurtful, she is chilling but she is goddamn beautiful.

[Verse 9 : Bigflo]

I went to an island, the volcano welcomed me with open arms

And the ocean whispered : "La Réunion lé la."

There's no religion or color on the picture

Having an argument is as rare as seeing a dodo.

[Verse 10 : Oli]

Don't you know Montpellier ? Beach is near

We spend all the afternoon on the Comedy square

We take our time, but don't you think we're lazy (no)

The arenas of Nîmes up to Perpignan's palm trees.

[Verse 11 : Bigflo]

I've gone to Strasbourg, I've came back with kugelhopf under my arm

It's crazy I still sense the taste of sauerkraut in my mouth

France's boundairies' charms

And I write this sentence with a stork feather.

[Chorus : Bigflo & Oli]

Welcome to my home

Whether you come from a big city, or a small town

You have to see this, ah, ah

We have the most beautiful girls, the most beautiful landscapes

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

[Verse 12 : Bigflo]

I went to Belgium, it makes sense, I get your fill of fries

I thought I saw beer out of the Manneken Pis

It's lively when the Carré comes alive

I've been so much there, I feel like visiting family (once)

Well yes

[Verse 13 : Oli]

In Nantes, I've been on giant safari

I've met canaries flying around an elephant

I've seen kickers, skippers, people enjoying life

The only place I met dealers of biscuits.

[Verse 14 : Bigflo]

I calmly sat down in Switzerland

Near swans, on the Lake Geneva's banks

I cut off my cell phone (natel) so that I won't be called there

I overdid emmental and moutains of chocolate.

[Verse 15 : Oli]

First time in Corsica, the shock, the land, the sea

First I had trouble with people's character

On the terrace, old folks' jokes made me laugh

I didn't want to leave, to get back in the ferry anymore.

[Verse 16 : Bigflo & Oli]

I was born in Toulouse, obviously I'm not that honest

She saw my first steps and she has supported me every second

And you'll ask to everyone who knows her

They'll say : "It's the most beautiful city of the world".

[Chorus : Bigflo & Oli]

Welcome to my home

Whether you come from a big city, or a small town

You have to see this, ah, ah

We have the most beautiful girls, the most beautiful landscapes

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

Welcome to my home

Whether you come from a big city, or a small town

You have to see this, ah, ah

We have the most beautiful girls, the most beautiful landscapes

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

Come round to my home

[Outro : Bigflo & Oli]

- You know in Nantes, there's an elephant but like, it's automated, and it walks and stuff, like it moves in the city.

- Whaddaya say bro ?

- But I swear it's true.

- You sure ?

- It's an elephant but like a robot-elephant.

- Oh yeah ? Damn but you...

- It's an elephant bu uh... a robot.
