In 2001, she started her singing career in the blues band "Fifty Fingers". She sang in musical groups in Angoulême, especially in a jazz quintet. She became one of the four singers of Izar-Adatz (Shooting Star), a variety band which consisted of sixteen people with whom she toured for two years, especially in the Midi-Pyrenees and the Basque Country. She worked in the studio as a chorister in Toulouse and performed with many singers including Maeso, Art Mengo, Vladimir Max, Jean-Pierre Mader and Serge Guerao.

In May 2010, French magazine Telerama announced: "Rumor has swelled in recent weeks: Zaz is a sacred voice, and she will be the revelation of the summer!". On 10 May 2010, Zaz released her first album. It contains songs written by herself ("Trop sensitible") and co-composed ("Les Passants", "Le Long de la route", "Prends garde à ta langue", "J'aime à nouveau", "Ni Oui Ni Non"). Kerredine Soltani produced the album under Play On label, and wrote and composed the hit single "Je veux". The pop singer Raphaël Haroche wrote her songs "Éblouie par la nuit", "Port Coton" and "La Fée". In 2010, she signed a contract for her tours with Caramba and publisher Sony ATV. She was invited to many TV shows (such as Taratata or Chabada) and was featured in several programs on the radio.

Zaz then toured France (Paris, La Rochelle, Montauban, Saint-Ouen, Chateauroux, Landerneau, Fécamp...), performed at the Francofolies of Montreal (Canada), Monthey (Switzerland), Brussels, Berlin, and Milan... In autumn Zaz topped the charts in Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria. Matthieu Baligand, her manager and producer at Caramba Entertainment, explained to Liberation: "We talk a lot of her right now and people are waiting her at the turn... Despite the demand, it seems preferable to do her first tour in fifty small places which will render her credible. Zaz is a popular, intuitive artist, who is familiar with music, who can sing, but doing a quality show is something else (...)." In November 2010, the debut album Zaz became double platinum, and she was awarded "Revelation Song" by the Academy Charles Cros. Zaz also won the European Border Breaker Awards: she was named the French artist most played abroad in 2010. According to a survey published by L'Internaute, Zaz was the most favorite singer of the French in the 2010 ranking.

Zaz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'étais amoureux fou d'une demoiselle Loulou
C'était une obsession, j'en perdais la raison
J'avais plus d'appétit, je ne dormais plus la nuit
Et tous mes amis me disaient ceci

Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou

Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Si tu ne veux pas, tu ne peux pas tu le pourras pas ha ha
Si tu le veux, tu le peux, c'est un jeu et voilà
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie loulou oublie la donc

A quoi bon te faire de la bile
Ne fais donc pas l'imbécile
Ça te dit, mon ami c'est la vie
Mais oublie, oublie la

Je vivais un cauchemar, j'en avais le cafard
Effroyable moment quand je claquais des dents
Et tout autour de moi je croyais entendre des voix
Ces voix jour et nuit me disaient ceci

Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Si tu ne veux pas, tu ne peux pas tu le pourras pas ha ha
Si tu le veux, tu le peux, c'est un jeu et voilà
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie loulou oublie la donc

Et en parcourant la ville
J'ai trouvé une autre idylle
Qui m'a dit mon ami, c'est la vie mais oublie oublie la

Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc

Overall Meaning

Zaz's song "Oublie Loulou" tells the story of a man who was deeply in love with a woman named Loulou. His obsession with her was so extreme that he lost his appetite, couldn't sleep at night, and heard voices telling him to forget about her. Despite the advice of his friends, who urged him to forget Loulou, he couldn't bring himself to do so. Eventually, he found a new love and was able to move on from Loulou.

The lyrics of the song describe the aching, all-consuming nature of love, as well as the difficulty of letting go when a relationship ends. They also highlight the importance of friends and finding support during difficult times. The chorus "Oublie, oublie Loulou / Mais oublie mais oublie Loulou oublie la donc" (Forget, forget Loulou / But forget, forget Loulou, forget her then) underscores the idea that moving on from a past relationship is necessary for one's own well-being.

Overall, "Oublie Loulou" is a poignant and relatable portrayal of the ups and downs of love and heartbreak.

J'etais amoureux fou
D'une demoiselle Loulou
C'etait une obsession
J'en perdais la raison
Je n'avais plus d'appetit
Je ne dormais plus la nuit
Et tous mes amis
Me disaient ceci:

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc.
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc.

Si tu ne le veux pas
Tu ne le peux pas
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
Tu le peux
C'est un jeu
Et voila ah!

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc.
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc.

A quoi bon t'en faire de la bile
Ne fait donc pas l'imbecile
Mon ami, je te dis
C'est la vie
Mais oublie mais oublie-la.

Je vivais un cauchemar
J'en avais le cafard,
Effroyables moments
Ou je claquais des dents
Et tout autour de moi
Je croyais entendre des voix
Ces voix jour et nuit
Me disaient ceci:

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc.
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc.

Si tu ne le veux pas
Tu ne le peux pas
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
Tu le peux
C'est un jeu
Et voila ah!

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc

Et en parcourant la ville
J'ai trouve une autre idylle

@ccarolynchaos Esta es la letra en Ingles ;)Forget Loulou
I was madly in love
with a damsel Loulou
It was an obsession
I had lost my mind
I had no appetite
I couldn't sleep at night
and all my friends
were telling me the following:Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.If you don't want it
you cannot do it
you won't be able to do it ah! ah!
If you want it
you can do it
It's a game
and there you are ah!Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.What good is it feeling galled?
So don't act a fool
Pal, I'm telling you
that's life
just forget, just forget her.I was living a nightmare
I was down in the dumps,
dreadful moments,
where my teeth were chattering
and all around me
I thought I was hearing voices
these voices night and day
were telling me the following:Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.If you don't want it
you cannot do it
you won't be able to do it ah! ah!
If you want it
you can do it
It's a game
and there you are ah!Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.And walking around the city
I found another romance
who told me, "Pal
that's life
just forget, just forget her".Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.If you don't want it
you cannot do it
you won't be able to do it ah! ah!
If you want it
you can do it
It's a game
and there you are ah!Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.
Forget forget Loulou
just forget, just forget Loulou
forget her and be done with it.And walking around the city
I found another romance
who told me, "Pal
that's life
just forget, just forget her".
