Chez Moi

Blossom Dearie's song 'Chez Moi' is a charming invitation to a personal sanctuary filled with joy and warmth. The lyrics, sung in French, create an intimate atmosphere where the singer invites someone special to her home, promising a place of happiness and tranquility. The phrase 'Venez don chez moi je vous invite' translates to 'Come to my place, I invite you,' setting the tone for a welcoming and heartfelt experience. The imagery of living 'à côté des étoiles' (next to the stars) and 'à deux pas du ciel bleu' (a stone's throw from the blue sky) paints a picture of a dreamy, almost magical abode.

The song continues to emphasize the warmth and kindness of the singer's home. She eagerly awaits the visit, describing her home as 'gentil' (kind) and expressing a desire to share this space with her guest. The repetition of 'venez, venez vite' (come, come quickly) underscores her excitement and eagerness to share her joy. This invitation is not just about physical space but also about emotional connection, as she promises that her guest will be her 'seul ami' (only friend).

In the final verses, the song takes on a more intimate tone, suggesting a life of shared happiness and love. The singer envisions a future where they will count the times they say 'je t'aime' (I love you) and find contentment in each other's company. The phrase 'Es-tu bien chez moi! Restons-y...' (Are you comfortable at my place! Let's stay here...) encapsulates the essence of the song—a desire for a lasting, loving relationship in a place filled with warmth and joy. Blossom Dearie's gentle and inviting voice, combined with the tender lyrics, makes 'Chez Moi' a beautiful ode to love and companionship.
