The lyrics of Marema's song "Femme d'affaires" describe a successful businesswoman who takes pride in her achievements. The opening lines speak of her confidence and assertiveness as she confidently enters a bank to check her accounts and manages her money well. The repeated lines "Souma sanione femme d'affaires lay done hmmm" emphasize her status as a powerful and independent woman, who is not intimidated by societal norms or expectations. The lyrics also convey the notion that she is not afraid to take risks and has overcome many obstacles to attain her goals.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the strength and resilience of the businesswoman, as she says she will not be defeated or limited by anyone. The phrase "Alelou adouna mom defay dieh mom defay dieh" means "I will not be defeated in this world, no matter what" and is repeated twice to emphasize her determination. The final line "Femme d'affaire bras de fer lay deuké, Nguir meune bay sama war, Souma meune diap peu leu ben djiguene" which means "a businesswoman's arm-wrestling prowess is unmatched, she fights until she wins", further reinforces the idea of her strength and determination.
