Paris
Petit Yode & L'enfant Siro Lyrics

The above lyrics are from the song "Paris" by Petit Yode & L'enfant Siro. The song is about the experiences of African immigrants in Paris and how they are often judged and discriminated against simply based on their race. The lyrics describe how in Paris, when a white person is seen, they may appear physically clean and put together, but their home may be messy or unkempt. Conversely, when a black person is seen, they may be physically clean, but their living situation may not be as clean or presentable. This contrast highlights the unfair prejudices and stereotypes faced by black immigrants in Paris.

The lyrics "allez niazé oh" are a phrase commonly used in Ivory Coast, the birthplace of both Petit Yode and L'enfant Siro. It means something along the lines of "let's go dance" or "let's party." In this song, the phrase seems to be a call to action - a reminder to not let the discrimination and hardships of being an immigrant in Paris get them down, but instead to continue to dance and celebrate life.
