Courbé dans ta chaleur, dans mon cœur il y a

A mon adolescence, parfois mes innocences
Toi tu révèles en moi ma sagesse sauvage
De l’amour un message, dans mon cœur il y a

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M's song Baïa convey a message of love and admiration towards someone special in the artist's life. The song starts with a declaration of love, stating that the artist has always felt this way and will always continue to do so. The repetition of "Baïa Ya Baïa" throughout the song is reminiscent of a child's lullaby and adds to the idea of innocence and pure affection. The artist then goes on to explain how this person has played a significant role in their life since childhood, shaping their personality and even revealing their "wild wisdom". Despite growing up and experiencing different stages in life, the love remains unchanged and the artist appreciates their loved one's sensitivity and joyful tears. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the everlasting nature of their love.

One interesting aspect of this song is the title, "Baïa". It is believed to be a reference to the Bay of All Saints, a bay located in Brazil where many African slaves were brought in the 16th century. Another interesting fact is that the song was written by M's father, Louis Chedid, who is also a musician. Baïa was originally released on Louis Chedid's 2003 album "On ne dit jamais assez aux gens qu'on aime qu'on les aime" before M released it as a single in 2019. The music video for Baïa tells the story of a young couple's love through dance, featuring choreography by Ryan Heffington who also worked on Sia's "Chandelier" video.
