Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tu dis que j'ai nion
si tu savais je sors de loin
Je waka-ais ma chose au boulevard du 20 mai
Pas le 20 mai b
le 10 mai
Je le dis mais
(hum) au Camer on sait jamais
avec les lolos le genre qui s'agite
Les cheveux de la nga
faisaient le nyanga
coulaient sur les lass comme Sanaga
Les pieds de la go portaient
une Sebago
le Style de Nyango
Muna de Kapo
Qui devait devenir muna de Koppo
Mon coeur me dit fonce!
Mon coeur se prononce
Passe mais ne guette pas
Guette mais ne soch pas (si tu veux)
Soch mais ne call pas (ou alors)
Call mais ne tchate pas
Je begin à verber
Verber la bébé
La muna est tombée
Il fallait la couper
La Go était parrée pollu-poilue
pa-pa Pas le Pala-Pala
Bien mûre (pas les nyama-nyama)
Son name était Emma
Elle buvait mes paroles comme la Guinness
Tu me know Koppo
Man for finesse
Dans la souplesse je blesse
Les nguess ne peuvent que dire yes
La nga là devait dire Yes
Mais la Nga m'a dit l'ami laisse
Parle mais j'écoute pas
J'écoute
