about

La Ciotat is a small village on the Côte d'Azur in the south of France. I went there last year and it was the first time in a long time that I was able to completely relax. So in the song I'm just describing what it was like to see the sea, watch the sun dance on the water, listen to the cicadas while playing guitar and find myself again.

lyrics

La Ciotat
(Translation see below)

(Written on 5th May 2023)

Dans la maison sur la colline
La guitare à mes côtés
Un sirop de grenadine
Sous les lumières de l'été

Voyant la mer à l'horizon
Le soleil danse sur l'eau
Les cigales chantent leurs chansons
La brise caresse ma peau

Je n'ai plus peur, je suis à l'aise
J'écoute mon cœur, ce lieu m'apaise
C'est un petit coin de paradis
C'est ici que mon âme fleurit

Ici je me régale
Enfin je peux respirer
En écoutant les cigales
Qui chantent la liberté

Moi, je chante avec elles
Retrouvant ma voix
Mon cœur rayonne d’étincelles
Retrouvant la joie

Je n'ai plus peur, je suis à l'aise
J'écoute mon cœur, ce lieu m'apaise
C'est un petit coin de paradis
C'est ici que mon âme fleurit
Mon âme fleurit

Je n'ai plus peur, je suis à l'aise
J'écoute mon coeur, ce lieu m'apaise
C'est un petit coin de paradis
C'est ici que mon âme fleurit
Mon âme fleurit
Mon âme fleurit

Translation:

In the house on the hill
The guitar by my side
Grenadine syrup
Under the summer lights

Seeing the sea on the horizon
The sun dances on the water
The cicadas sing their songs
The breeze caresses my skin

I'm not afraid anymore, I'm at ease
I listen to my heart, this place soothes me
It's a little corner of paradise
This is where my soul is blooming

Here I enjoy myself
Finally, I can breathe
Listening to the cicadas
who sing of freedom

I sing with them
Finding my voice
My heart shines with sparks
finding the joy

I'm not afraid anymore, I'm at ease
I listen to my heart, this place soothes me
It's a little corner of paradise
This is where my soul is blooming
my soul blooms

I'm not afraid anymore, I'm at ease
I listen to my heart, this place soothes me
It's a little corner of paradise
This is where my soul is blooming
my soul is blooming
my soul is blooming
