People of Nice, kick off the celebrations from your windows on Friday, May 1st at 11 am!
Despite this year’s unique context for launching the festivities, we invite you to join us at your windows by collectively singing our Niรงois anthem “Nissa La Bella.”
“NISSA LA BELLA,” by Menica Rondelly: Viva, viva, Nissa la Bella
1st verse
Oh my beautiful Nice
Queen of flowers
I will always sing
Of your ancient olive trees.
I will sing of the mountains
Your rich decor
Your green countryside
Your great golden sun
Chorus
I will always sing
Under your tunnels
Your azure sea
Your pure sky
And I will always shout
In my refrain
Viva, viva, Nissa la Bella
2nd verse
I sing of the little cap
The rose and the lilac
The Port and the Marina
Paioun, Mascouinร !
I sing of the soufflรฉ
Where the songs are born
The spindle, the little ball
My beautiful Nanoun
3rd verse
I sing of our glories
The ancient and beautiful calendars
From the dungeon, the victories
The odors of your springtime!
I sing of the old Sincaire
Your white banner
Then the cradle of my mother
Of the most beautiful world
