Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chez Moi by Dalida from French to English.
Chez moi y'avait le ciel bleu sur la mer
At my place, there was the blue sky over the sea
Le pain blanc comme le sable
The white bread like the sand
Et le soleil rouge du désert
And the red sun of the desert
le jasmin dans les branches
The jasmine in the branches
Ami de mes jeunes désirs
Friend of my young desires
Mais je ne crois plus au retour
But I no longer believe in the return
Car chez moi n'est qu'un souvenir
Because at my place is just a memory
Y'avait là l'odeur de la terre
There was the smell of the earth
Le vent chaud de notre plage
The warm wind of our beach
Toutes avaient un goût amer
All had a bitter taste
Je voudrais m'en aller loin des villes
I would like to go away far from the cities
Chez moi je voudrais revenir
At my place, I would like to come back
Mais je ne crois plus au retour
But I no longer believe in the return
Car je le sais qu'à tout jamais
Because I know that forever
Chez moi n'est plus qu'un souvenir
At my place is nothing but a memory
