Najoua originally studied law beginning in 2001 at the University of Nancy, but left for Paris to pursue a career in music. She met some success after a casting call when she joined the group Benoît, who had a successful single called Tourne-toi Benoît, which touched on the subjcet of homosexuality. The later singles from the group, however, only met moderate success, and eventually the group parted ways.
Later she met the songwriter Christophe Casanave, whose work had already been performed by popular French acts Steeve Estatof and Marc Lavoine. The two worked together on a song called Stella, which would later appear on her debut album.
In 2005, Najoua released her first single titled Gabriel, an electric-pop dance track. The song became a huge hit in France, and peaked at number three on the Top 40 charts in France. On 29 May 2006, she released her debut album titled Entre Deux Mondes, which debuted at #7 on the French charts and at #1 on the iTunes France music store. In late 2006 and early 2007, she will embark on a tour across France and Francophone Europe to promote her album. She has been compared to Mylène Farmer.

Najoua Belyzel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
D'embrasser le hasard, consumé dans un couloir,
Et j'accepte l'aventure
Qui te construit en ruptures.
Refrain:
Mais Stella, reste avec moi,
Je connais tes blessures
Tu n'es pas malade crois-moi
Mais je vais te soigner, tu verras, Stella
Même si les autres que tu vois te disent ca
Que tu est plus folle que moi, Stella
Tu as le droit de te conduire comme ca,
De masquer tes faux pas, s'ils te ramènent tous vers moi
Et j'accepte ton allure
Sans un mot, au pied du mur.
Refrain
Je te suis à genoux, qu'importe les coups
Que tu donneras, o ma Stella,
Les autres on s'en fout, ceux qui parlent de nous
Et qui rient de moi, o ma Stella, Stella, Stella
Stella, reste avec moi
J'ai pansé tes blessures
Rien que pour toi
Tu n'es pas malade crois-moi
Mais je vais te soigner, tu verras, Stella
Et s'il faut mourir d'un combat
Je me bats pour toi
Tu es la soeur que je n'ai pas, o Stella, o Stella
Stella, o Stella...
The song Stella by Najoua Belyzel is about a woman named Stella who is wild and unpredictable. The singer of the song accepts Stella with all her flaws and even admires her adventurous and unconventional nature. The lyrics suggest that Stella likes to take risks and live on the edge, which often causes her to break apart. However, the singer promises to be there for her through it all and heal her wounds. The chorus of the song repeats the plea for Stella to stay with the singer even though others might think she's crazy.
The verse "Tu as le droit d'allumer tous les regards" means "you have the right to light up all the looks." This can be interpreted as Stella having the right to be noticed and to live her life on her terms regardless of what others think. The line "embrasser le hasard, consumé dans un couloir" can be translated to "embracing chance, consumed in a corridor." This imagery implies a sense of danger and risk-taking.
Overall, the song is a message of acceptance and support for those who live life differently. It encourages people to embrace their quirks and not conform to social norms.

Chorus:
Mais Stella, reste avec moi,
But Stella, stay with me

Bien mieux que toi
Better than you do
Tu n'es pas malade crois-moi

To hide your mistakes, if they all bring you back to me
Et j'accepte ton allure
And I accept your style
Sans un mot, au pied du mur.
Silently against the wall.
Je te suis à genoux, qu'importe les coups
I follow you on my knees, no matter the blows
Que tu donneras, o ma Stella,
That you will give, oh my Stella,
Les autres on s'en fout, ceux qui parlent de nous
We don't care about the others, those who talk about us
Et qui rient de moi, o ma Stella, Stella, Stella
And laugh at me, oh my Stella, Stella, Stella
Stella, reste avec moi

J'ai pansé tes blessures
I have bandaged your wounds
Rien que pour toi
Only for you
Tu n'es pas malade crois-moi
You're not sick, believe me
Mais je vais te soigner, tu verras, Stella
But I'll heal you, you'll see, Stella
Et s'il faut mourir d'un combat
And if we have to die in a fight
Je me bats pour toi
I'll fight for you
Tu es la soeur que je n'ai pas, o Stella, o Stella
You're the sister I never had, oh Stella, oh Stella
Stella, o Stella...
Stella, oh Stella...
