Bienvenue Chez Moi Lyrics in English Bigflo & Oli

Home / Lyrics translation / Bigflo & Oli / Bienvenue Chez Moi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bienvenue Chez Moi by Bigflo & Oli from French to English.

I've already told you about Bordeaux

On the docks we like to call out

The pretty girls shaped like cannelés

I saw the spread of vineyards through the porthole

Mirror, water mirror, tell me who's the fairest

I passed through Normandy

I saw the towns and the beaches

To be honest, I mostly saw cows

I saw lions and lionesses with roaring hearts

A haven of peace when I went through Rouen

A stop in Lille, it's true it's not the prettiest city

But on the Grand Place I kinda felt free

Felt small, felt ch'ti in the scene

People were warmer than the weather outside

I went through Lyon and didn't get it right away

When I said 'Hello' they answered '69 la trik'

I hung out on Bellecour Square with all my slackers

They told me in Saint-Étienne there're only assh*les

I gotta tell you about Marseille

Its port, its slightly dirty alleys

And I even picked up the accent while singing in the stadium

In the middle of those loudmouths, I wasn't feeling big

I heard cicadas but not the sound of Kalash

I went to Saint-Étienne to get some air

They forced me to put on a f*cking green jersey

I hung out on Rue des Martyrs with all my slackers

They told me in Lyon there're only assh*les (but nah

Welcome to my place

Whether you come from a big city or a small village

You gotta see this

We have the prettiest girls, the best scenery

Come take a trip to my place

In Brest and Rennes, I felt kinda dumb

When people told me they weren't French but Breton

Big-hearted sailors, a bit too drunk

Sailing on a sea of cider

One day in Paris and Notre-Dame threw a scene

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

She's pressing and oppressing

She's stressing and cruel

She's hurtful, she's chilling, but f*ck, she's beautiful

I went to an island, the volcano opened its arms to me

And the ocean whispered: 'La Réunion is here'

There's no religion or color in the photo

A shouting match is as rare as seeing a dodo

You don't know Montpellier, the beach is right nearby

We spend the whole afternoon at Place de la Comédie

We take our time, don't think we're lazy

From the arenas of Nîmes to the Palace of Perpignan

I went to Strasbourg, came back with kugelhopf under my arm

It's crazy, I still taste sauerkraut in my mouth

The charms on the borders of the hexagon

And I write this line with a stork's feather

Welcome to my place

Whether you come from a big city or a small village

You gotta see this

We have the prettiest girls, the best scenery

Come take a trip to my place

I went to Belgium, of course, I filled up on fries

I thought I saw beer coming out of the Manneken Pis

There's life when the Carré fires up

I've been there so much I feel like I'm seeing family

well yeah

In Nantes I started a giant safari

I saw canaries flying around an elephant

I saw kickers, skippers, lovers

The only place I ran into dealers, little beurs

I chilled in Switzerland calmly

By the swans on the shores of Lake Geneva

I turned off my Natel so nobody would call me there

I overdid the money orders and the mountain of chocolate

First time in Corsica, the shock

The land, the sea, at first I struggled with the temperament

On the terrace, the old guys' jokes made me laugh

I didn't want to leave, didn't want to get back on the ferry

I was born in Toulouse, so I'm not really unbiased

She saw my first steps and carried me every second

And you'll ask everyone who knows her

They'll tell you it's the most beautiful city in the world

Welcome to my place

Whether you come from a big city or a small village

You gotta see this

We have the prettiest girls, the best scenery

Come take a trip to my place

Welcome to my place

Whether you come from a big city or a small village

You gotta see this

We have the prettiest girls, the best scenery

Come take a trip to my place

Outro

You know in Nantes there's an elephant but like it's automated

And it moves and all, like it walks around the city

Outro

What're you sayin', bro?

But I swear it's true

The thing is it's an elephant, like a robot elephant

yeah? F*ck but you

It's an elephant but uh a robot

Did you like this lyrics translation?

cannelés — cannelés (a small French pastry)

Cannelés refers to a small French pastry, specifically from Bordeaux, known for its soft, custardy interior and dark, caramelized crust.

In the song, the lyrics playfully compare "jolie filles" (pretty girls) to "cannelés" due to their attractive, well-shaped figures. This unique and culturally specific comparison makes the word memorable and enticing, as it's not a common term found in everyday song lyrics.

Fasten your seat-belt and hop on a musical TGV: in “Bienvenue Chez Moi,” Bigflo & Oli turn a rap track into a joyful postcard that zips through Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Paris, Strasbourg, Toulouse and even detours to Belgium, Switzerland, Corsica and La Réunion. Each stopover is painted with playful stereotypes and local treasures — cannelés in Bordeaux, kugelhopf in Strasbourg, beer by the Manneken Pis, and an enormous mechanical elephant roaming Nantes. The brothers poke fun at rivalries (Lyon vs. Saint-Étienne), admire breathtaking landscapes, and savour the regional accents that make every corner of the Francophone world feel distinct.

Beneath the humor, the song carries a warm message of unity and pride. The chorus invites everyone, whether from a “grand ville” or “p’tit village,” to come “chez moi,” reminding listeners that hospitality, diversity and shared love of good food and music are the true landmarks of France. By the time the beat returns to their beloved hometown Toulouse, you feel like you have travelled the entire hexagon and made friends in every carriage.
