C'est la folie, comme un tit-pe, on m'a blagué
It's madness, like a little one, they played me
Oh, on m'a blagué, bocca (ouh, oui)
Oh, they played me, bocca (oh, yes)
No more love, no more drama, cocody power, mm
No more love, no more drama, cocody power, mm
Mami, no more love, moi pour elle, j'ai fait tout c'qu'il fallait
Mami, no more love, I did everything I needed for her
Moi j'ai donné, elle a tout pris sans dire "merci"
I gave it all, she took everything without saying 'thank you'
Elle a mis nos corps en inertie
She put our bodies in inertia
Ouh, elle avait la voix d'une mami wata
Oh, she had the voice of a mami wata
Elle savait me parler (elle savait me parler)
She knew how to talk to me (she knew how to talk to me)
Moi j'aimais l'écouter (moi j'aimais l'écouter)
I loved listening to her (I loved listening to her)
Même Dadju m'a parlé, mais j'étais touché, j'voulais pas douter
Even Dadju spoke to me, but I was moved, I didn't want to doubt
Oh-oh, c'est la folie, comme un tit-pe, elle m'a blagué (boh)

Toi t'as quel level de sorcellerie?

J'tomberai pas deux fois dans tes conneries (jamais)

You understood me (understood)
Quand t'es partie, ici, t'as rien laissé (laissé)

Ça va, Terry, j'étais pas censé savoir que les schmidts arriveraient si tôt
It's all good, Terry, I wasn't supposed to know the schmidts would arrive so early
Ouais, bah, merci, grand frère, à cause de toi, on est dans la merde
Yeah, well, thanks, big brother, because of you, we're in deep trouble

T'inquiètes, j'connais l'patron, il va nous couvrir
Don't worry, I know the boss, he's got our back
T'es sûr?
Are you sure?
En plus, ils passent des vrais sons ici
Plus, they play real music here
Eh, m'emmène pas dans des trucs bizarres
Eh, don’t take me into weird stuff
Vas-y viens, viens, ah (ouh, oui)
Come on, come on, ah (oh, yeah)
Juste un verre

C'est quand la nuit tombe, quand les étoiles se montrent
It's when night falls, when the stars appear
Qu'à moi, tu devras te livrer (Cuba libre)

C'est après midi que nos regards se croisent
It's in the afternoon that our gazes meet
La nuit était si crazy

T'as dégivré nos corps de tes lèvres et raviver la flamme
You thawed our bodies with your lips and reignited the flame
On ne s'est laissé aucun répit (j'avoue que c'était trop, yeah)
We didn't let each other catch a break (I admit it was too much, yeah)
T'as remis ma vie en couleurs
You brought my life back to color
Je t'en supplie, restons coucher

Aucune gêne, plus aucune pudeur
No more shame, no more modesty
Oui, j'ai enfin trouvé

À tes yeux, les hommes sont maudits

Mais cette fois, ton cœur, t'as menti
But this time, your heart has lied to you
T'as enfin un meilleur ami

C'est quand la nuit tombe, quand les étoiles se montrent
It's when night falls, when the stars appear

Montaigne est l'avenue, mondaine est la nuit
Montaigne is the avenue, the night is socialite
La vie précieuse, t'es plus chère qu'une seconde
Life is precious, you're worth more than a second
Tu rends fou ces messieurs, car t'es une bombe
You drive these gentlemen crazy, 'cause you're a bomb
J'y croyais plus aux huit millièmes
I no longer believed in eight thousandths
À côté d'la Lune, la plume est miel
Next to the Moon, the pen is honey
Ton déhanché me livre une vérité
Your sway reveals a truth to me
Cuba libre, à ta santé, à ta santé
Cuba libre, here’s to you, here’s to you
