Seychelles Que J’aime

Original Submission by Elie Pia Marie Marzocchi

Seychelles Que J’aime

Des îles uniques dans l’océan Indien

Etant Seychelloise je ne manque de rien

De belles plages aux sables fins

On peut nager sans aucun craint de requins

J’ai toujours cru que les “trouloulous” adornent les plages

Filant dans leurs trous au moin tapage

L’eau claire et idéale pour un bon bain de mer

Admirer les pailles-en-queue voler si fières

Un tour dans notre jardin botanique

Où se trouve des plantes endémiques

Beaucoup y visitent pour voir nos fameuses tortues de terre

Des espèces entourées de “cocos de mer”

Déja dans la ville de Victoria

Je vous des gens passer avec leurs bourgeois

Je me dépêche pour aller au “bazar”

Où se trouve des coquilles rares

Seychelles que j’aime

Je t’ai choisis comme mon emblème

Une culture colorée, une race mélangée et une entourage fragile

Vraiment je suis fière d’être une fille des îles.
