Pookie — English translation

Aya Nakamura · french → English

What "Pookie" means

Pookie is a confident, taunting kiss-off. The narrator has seen through someone who is all attitude and drama, tells them they are in different leagues, and says they have already been blocked and there is no time for their stories. French street slang about snitches and shutting the door runs through the catchy hook. The mood is playful and unbothered: a put-down aimed at someone who tries way too hard.

Ah, ah depuis longtemps
Ah, ah for a long time now
J'ai vu dans ça, depuis longtemps
I saw right through it, for a long time
Toi t'es bon qu'à planer
You are only good for getting high
Ouais je sens t'as l'seum, j'ai la boca
Yeah I can tell you are salty, while I am talking big
