Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Allo ? Allo ?
Arrêtez les gars...
Allo ? Allo Nadia ?
J'ai gagné j'ai gagné
J'suis la dix millième garde à vue
Du commissariat
Alors du coup ils me font ma fête !
Nadia laisse moi t'expliquer pourquoi
Je t'appelle du commissariat
Nadia laisse moi t'expliquer
C'est pas c'est pas
C'est pas c'que tu crois
Commissariat
Nadia laisse moi t'expliquer pourquoi
Je t'appelle du commissariat
Nadia laisse moi t'expliquer
C'est pas c'est pas
C'est pas c'que tu crois
Commissariat
The lyrics to Marcel et son orchestre's song "Discommissariat" describe a man named Nadia who is being called by the singer from the police station. The singer has just won the "10,000th arrest" award and is being celebrated by the police officers there. However, Nadia seems to be suspicious of this and assumes the singer has been arrested, leading him to try to explain that he is actually being celebrated. The song plays with the idea of being in a difficult situation but still trying to convince someone of the opposite.
The repetition of the word "commissariat" throughout the song emphasizes the setting of the singer's current situation. The tone of the song is upbeat and playful, despite the subject matter, with a mix of spoken dialogue and music. The use of French slang and colloquialisms creates a specific cultural context for the song.
