1:19 - 1:42 : I don't know how but it reminds me of all my beautiful memories with my loved ones.

[bluesucculents]

I cannot believe I found this after humming into a song detector for minutes. Thank goodness.

[horiariaz]

I don't Understand a word but somehow the melody brings a smile to my face.

La Maritza, c'est ma rivière
Comme la Seine est la tienne
Mais il n'y a que mon père
Maintenant qui s'en souvienne
Quelquefois

De mes dix premières années
Il ne me reste plus rien
Pas la plus pauvre poupée
Plus rien qu'un petit refrain
D'autrefois

La la la...

Tous les oiseaux de ma rivière
Nous chantaient la liberté
Moi je ne comprenais guère
Mais mon père, lui, savait
Ecouter

Quand l'horizon s'est fait trop noir
Tous les oiseaux sont partis
Sur les chemins de l'espoir
Et nous on les a suivis
A Paris

De mes dix premières années
Il ne reste plus rien, rien

Et pourtant les yeux fermés
Moi j'entends mon père chanter
Ce refrain

La la la...

I don’t know why but this song reminds me of a person slowly losing their sanity. I see this especially at the last part of the song where the music builds up and then suddenly stops, showing the person has fully lost it and “snapped”

[Ermis]

A golden song !..Remember me Maritsa river as it pass from the city of Plovdiv, the city that I most love in Boulgaria!…and tears come to my eyes, because of so many memories..

[NaMadina-dybd]

1:19 reminds me of my younger sister. she's in heaven now but will soon reunite with her ❤❤ We lost her due to suicide, please keep her in prayers, hope she's doing better there

[tabiaouiayman]

Please bring me the memories when i hadn’t schizophrenia, please bring me the memories when i could listen and feel, please bring memories when i l could love fully, please bring the moments i had when i was a child, please remove the memory of schizophrenic attacks from the past, please erase everything, please God 😢😢

Wow. I had only heard the short "la la la" part of this beautiful song without knowing the language. I am so glad it is French. It really suits the classy chic vibes you get from it. ❤ 🇫🇷

[alexmancia]

[BraydenHayes-ch]

National pride+refrains of memories+preppy classical composition=a masterful song with beauty and emotion ❤

[alexkawilarang_]

[mariangelasantos]

Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful interpretation... It was love at the first audition

[torieldreemurr]

2:57 and afterward are my favorite to listen on repeat

[leoworren]

Why is this so addictive, the tune is stuck in my head😅😅😅

[krawallo]

So sad that i forgot most french i once learned in school... It's just a shame and the track is pure gold for my ears

[floralachkar]

This song remembers Bulgaria, the country where she is from, it's a song of nostalgia....

[Euclib]

I love this piece. There’s this dramatic build-up, and it makes you think you’re going somewhere big and heavy. And then, it takes us to this neat little musical space instead, and it is shimmery, tiny, and comfy.

It feels like the artist just took us to their secret hiding place, the one place where they feel safe from the chaos of the world. Like a little hidden library in a house, or a little garden completely hidden in the middle of a hedge maze. A place where the artist can go in order to become completely isolated from the rest of the world, if even for a moment. It’s comfy, it’s beautiful, and there’s something magical about it somehow.
