Label On Music / Warner
Autor and interpret. First album in 2003.
Unsubdued, disturbing and envoûtante, this singer, who accompanied Brigitte Fontaine and worked with Charlélie Couture, a musical style good with it affirms, between Patti Smith and Barbara. With texts without concession, lucid and serious, it speaks about the life without turnings while letting also appear a certain melancholy.

Tu joues quoi
Nadj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'as toujours les nerfs
Tu saignes dans les dents
Hey tu peux faire la guerre
Gagner de l'argent
Mais t'es bien comme ton père
Tu pourrais mieux faire
C'est toi qu'on attend
Hey tu flippes quand tu dors
Tes voisins sont d'accord
La télé hurle sa mère
Nananana
Nananana
Hey tu ressembles à un chat
Arrête de chanter comme ça
Quand tu cries ça fait mal
Hey tu peux mettre moins fort
La batterie la guitare
On est en France quoi merde !
Nananana
Nananana
tu joues quoi déja ?
Hey tu veux pas rester belle
Et fermer ta gueule?
Hey j'veux plus entendre ça
Tu comprends pas que c'est moi
Qui veux crier comme ça
Nananana

Hey tu joues du pur sang
T'as toujours les nerfs
Tu saignes dans les dents
Hey faire la guerre
De l'argent
Comme ton père
The lyrics of Nadj's song "Tu joues quoi" convey a sense of frustration and criticism towards someone who seems to be living a life of aggression and discontent. The opening lines, "Hey tu joues du pur sang, T'as toujours les nerfs, Tu saignes dans les dents" suggest that this person is constantly on edge, always ready for a fight and experiencing the physical consequences of their heated emotions.
The following lines, "Hey tu peux faire la guerre, Gagner de l'argent, Mais t'es bien comme ton père" imply that despite the option to engage in conflict and accumulate wealth, this person remains stuck in their father's footsteps, perhaps alluding to a cycle of destructive behavior passed down through generations. It hints at a missed opportunity for personal growth and a failure to break free from negative patterns.
As the song continues, the lyrics express disapproval towards the person's loud and disruptive behavior, with lines like "Hey tu flippes quand tu dors, Tes voisins sont d'accord, La télé hurle sa mère" suggesting that their actions disturb those around them, causing discomfort and unrest. The repetition of "Nananana" throughout the song serves as a taunting and mocking refrain, further highlighting the frustration and lack of understanding towards this person's choices.
The lyrics take a somewhat sarcastic tone in the verse "Hey tu ressembles à un chat, Arrête de chanter comme ça, Quand tu cries ça fait mal" which suggests that this person's attempts to express themselves through singing are bothersome and unpleasant to others, comparing their voice to a painful sound. It also illustrates a call for a more considerate and refined approach to self-expression.
The final lines, "Hey tu veux pas rester belle, Et fermer ta gueule? Hey j'veux plus entendre ça, Tu comprends pas que c'est moi Qui veux crier comme ça" reveal a personal desire for the person to remain quiet and attractive, implying that their presence or behavior is no longer appreciated. The singer emphasizes their own need to express themselves, suggesting that the person's way of yelling and acting aggressively is neither understood nor welcomed.
In summary, the lyrics of "Tu joues quoi" criticize someone who perpetuates a pattern of aggression, echoing their father's behavior. The song expresses frustration with their disruptive actions, urging them to find a more refined way to express themselves. The lyrics suggest a longing for personal growth and change, while highlighting the clash between the aggressive nature of the person in question and the desire for a quieter and more harmonious existence.
