The song La Maritza was a song written in 1968 by Pierre Delanoé while the somewhat Slavic music is credited to Jean Renard.
The Maritsa is a river with origin in Bulgaria, the country of birth of Sylvie Vartan, the French singer. The song symbolises the emigration of the Vartan family, the childhood memories of Sylvie, and adieu to their country of birth and the new life awaiting her in France...
It is for this reason that the singer performed this song with seamless natural sensibility...
