Discover the story of the song > La Maritza – Sylvie Vartan

The song is about a river called La Maritza that the protagonist considers her own, just like her partner considers the Seine river his own. However, only her father remembers this now. In her childhood, she didn't have much left, just a small refrain from the past. The birds in her river sang about freedom, but she didn't understand it at the time. When things became too difficult, the birds flew away on the paths of hope, and she followed them to Paris. But now, there is nothing left of her first ten years, except for her father's singing in her memory.
