Oh Papys, allez oh Pa-

Mesdames, méfiez-vous de lui
Ladies, beware of him
Il est beau, il est jeune, il est gentil
He's handsome, he's young, he's kind
Connaissez-vous sa vie?
Do you know his life?
Un bijou, un cadeau, vous êtes piquées
A jewel, a gift, you've been caught
Il sait comment vous manier et vous parler
He knows how to handle you and speak to you
À son charme naturel vous succombez
You fall for his natural charm
Se voiler la face n'est pas permis
Turning a blind eye is not allowed
Entrer dans son jeu, il faut que t'oublies
To enter his game, you must forget yourself
Il danse, il n'a jamais sommeil
He dances, he never feels tired
Il boit, il pose que des bouteilles
He drinks, just bottles all around
Claque en boîte tout son oseille tous les samedis
Spending all his cash in the club every Saturday
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Gauche, gauche, droite entouré de fille
Left, left, right surrounded by girls
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Quand il danse, danse, danse il me diabolise
When he dances, dances, dances, he mesmerizes me
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Gauche, gauche, droite entouré de fille
Left, left, right surrounded by girls
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Quand il danse, danse, danse il me diabolise
When he dances, dances, dances, he casts a spell on me
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
La journée dans ses biz'
During the day in his gigs
Le soir fait défiler les filles (oh, non, non)
At night, he parades the girls (oh, no, no)
Elles aiment tout ce qui il y a chez lui
They love everything that's in him
Ils inspirent des cas pas possible
They inspire impossible situations
Elle danse, danse, danse pour lui
She dances, dances, dances for him
Quand il bouge, bouge, bouge comme ça
When he moves, moves, moves like that
Il ment sans jamais, jamais s'arrêter (jamais)
He lies without ever, ever stopping (never)
Il danse, il n'a jamais sommeil
He dances, he never feels sleepy
Il boit, il pose que des bouteilles
He drinks, he only leaves behind bottles
Claque en boîte tout son oseille tous les samedis
He flaunts all his cash in the club every Saturday
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Gauche, gauche, droite entouré de fille
Left, left, right surrounded by girls
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Quand il danse, danse, danse il me diabolise
When he dances, dances, dances he casts a spell on me
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Gauche, gauche, droite entouré de fille
Left, left, right surrounded by girls
Il s'appelle Papys, et s'il est sur la piste
His name is Papys, and if he's on the dance floor
Quand il danse, danse, danse il me diabolise
When he dances, dances, dances he bewilders me
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
His name is Papys, his name is Papys
Il s'appelle Papys, il s'appelle Papys
