Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oya oya secoue eh! (oya oya secouer)
tout le monde debout eh (tout le monde debout eh)
oya levez vous pour danser eh (levez vouz pour danser)
The chorus of Serge Beynaud's "Akrakabo" calls for everyone to get up and dance. With the use of repetitive lyrics and an upbeat melody, Beynaud is able to create a lively and fun atmosphere for listeners. The song encourages people to forget their problems and just enjoy the moment. The phrase "Akrakabo" itself is a play on words, as it sounds similar to the French phrase "à craquer le dos" which means "to break one's back." This suggests that the dance moves being performed are energetic and even strenuous, but the joy of the experience is worth it.
The verses of the song are more focused on Beynaud himself and his success. He describes himself as a "prince" and talks about the luxurious lifestyle he leads. However, he also acknowledges the hard work and sacrifice that went into achieving that success. The song seems to be a celebration of both the pleasures of life and the effort it takes to get there.
Overall, "Akrakabo" is a fun and upbeat song that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves. While the verses may seem self-promoting, they ultimately serve to emphasize the importance of working hard and enjoying the fruits of that labor.
