Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Pour essayer d'brancher des nanas
On est partis au club а Djerba
Mais de face comme on est pas bien beau,
On vient lа pour se muscler du bas
Mais а reculons on voit pas
Et au bar juste avant l'apйro,
On a failli s'taper l'g. O.
[Rap]
Pour tirer un coup
J't'explique le coup
J't'explique
Debout 6h00
Tu part avec les joggers
Si t'y arrives pas
A 8h00 t'as le sauna, le sauna super-sympa
Si t'attends 9h00 au p'tit dйj t'as d'l'ananas
L'ananas super-sympa
Et si tu veux mater pendant toute la matinйe,
T'as la plage, la piscine, t'as la douche et les wc
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo... Yakdйlolo Yakdйlolo...
Sur la plage les filles on leur plait pas
Le gras et l'maillot зa cole pas
On s'est rabattus sur la disco
L'obscuritй nous rend beau
On s'йtaient sapйs en Travolta
On a fait fuir toutes les nanas
Et pour oublier touts nos rateaux
On a d'mandй de l'aide au G. O.
[Rap]
Moi les gars je suis G. O.
Les vacances, зa est mon boulot
Mais comme vous n'кtes pas bien beau,
Je vous propose de draguer... зa!
(Bruit de chameau)
Eh ben oui, mais on est 2
Et puis
Yak'un chameau, yak'un chameau
Yak'un chameau, yak'un chameau
Yak'un chameau, yak'un chameau
Yak'un chameau, yak'un chameau
The song "Yakdélolo" by Le Festival ROBLES talks about the experiences of a group of men trying to meet women while on holiday at a club in Djerba. The lyrics express their struggles with their appearance, resulting in their decision to try and attract women by approaching them from behind. The men also participate in various activities, such as exercising and going to the bar, hoping to meet potential romantic partners. Despite their efforts, they fail to impress the women on the beach and in the disco, and so turn to the resort's G.O. (gentil organisateur or "nice organizer") for help.
The lyrics also include a rap section that describes the various activities available at the resort, including jogging, saunas, and pineapples at breakfast. The rap suggests that there are plenty of opportunities to meet people, but the men still struggle to make a connection. The song ends with what appears to be the sound of a camel, emphasizing the desert location of the resort and perhaps suggesting a sense of absurdity or futility in the men's efforts.
Overall, "Yakdélolo" presents a humorous and lighthearted take on the challenges of trying to find love and companionship while on holiday. The song's catchy, repetitive chorus reinforces this lightness, as the phrase "yakdélolo" has no real meaning but serves to build a sense of energetic momentum.
