Bienvenue Chez Moi Lyrics in English Bigflo & Oli

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
Come take a trip to my place
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
Come take a trip to my place
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
Come take a trip to my place
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
Come take a trip to my place
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

SONG MEANING

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.
