Djadja — English translation

Aya Nakamura · french → English

What "Djadja" means

Djadja is Aya Nakamura's 2018 hit, and one of the biggest French-language songs of its time. The narrator shuts down a smooth-talking man who wants her attention: she tells him there's no chance, that his lines and his show-off behavior won't work on her. The lyrics are full of Parisian street slang and Afro-French expressions, and the tone is playful but firm. It's a confident rejection that turned into a catchphrase across France and beyond.

Aya Nakamura, oh yeah
Aya Nakamura, oh yeah
Hello papi, mais qué pasa (mais qué pasa)
Hello baby, what's up?
J'entends des bails atroces sur moi
I'm hearing some nasty lies about me
À c'qu'il paraît, j'te cours après (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Apparently, I'm chasing after you
