Nou Ja Pri...
Oh...
Il est 7h du mat je bois mon café
Au pub en face de mon taf
Je suis installé,
J'ai mes lunettes carré Sa fait cultivé
J'suis la j'suis fatigué j'veux qu'on me foute la paix
Toute la nuit en studio J'ai trop galéré
Au pub en bas de chez moi
Je bois mon café, 7h du mat Pénard je vais me coucher
Pourquoi??
Comment une bombe atomique
A 7h05 a débarqué?
Pourquoi?
Entre nous s'est installé
Prête à tout pour nous allumé
Mais Pourquoi??
Joue-t'elle avec nous comme sa
Ce n'est ni le jour ni l'endroit
Oh... oh...!!! Ah!!!!!!!
Mes forces me quittent déjà
7h15 du mat, je fini mon café
Un clin d'oeil à la Miss Je m'fais remarqué
J'suis déjà en retard faut que j'aille bosser
A peine le temps je sème Et je veux l'aborder
Saperlipopette je suis pas seul Sur le coup, y'a un mec
Là bas qui veut me voler
Ma Ouhhhh!!!
Attention au danger! Ostilité déclenché!!
Pourquoi??
Mais comment une bombe atomique
A 7h05 a débarqué!!
Mais pourquoi??
Entre nous s'est installé
Prête à tout pour nous allumé
Non mais pourquoi??

Ce n'est ni le jour ni l'endroit

The song "Nou ja pri" by Zouk Look feat. Ali Angel tells the story of a man who is tired and wants to be left alone. He is drinking coffee at a pub at 7 am in the morning, after a long night in the studio. He just wants to go home and sleep, but then a woman comes in like a bombshell and tries to get his attention. He notices her, but he is too tired to react, and then another man appears wanting to fight him over her. The lyrics ask the question, why does she play with their hearts like that? It's neither the time nor the place, and there's no need for hostility. The chorus repeats the phrase "Baby! Baby! Nou Ja Pri!!" meaning "Baby! Baby! We are ready!" and seems to suggest that the man is ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. Overall, the song highlights the complexities of relationships and the challenges that come with them.
One interesting fact about the song "Nou ja pri" is that it features two artists, Zouk Look and Ali Angel, who are both from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. It was released in 2013 and has since become a popular Zouk song in the French Caribbean. Another interesting fact is that the song's title "Nou ja pri" means "We are ready" in Creole. The song's lyrics mix both French and Creole languages, which is typical of Zouk music. Moreover, Zouk Look features a unique samba style of zouk and reggae elements in their music. Ali Angel, on the other hand, is known for her soulful voice and her ability to blend different styles of music together to create a unique sound. The song's music video was shot in Guadeloupe and features scenic shots of the island's beaches and streets. Finally, "Nou ja pri" has been covered by several other artists in the Caribbean, including Ludo and Xavier, who released their version in 2018.
