Sexy Nana — English translation

Aya Nakamura · french → English

What "Sexy Nana" means

A confident, playful brag about a woman who knows her worth. The narrator shows off designer taste and paying in cash, while a rapper counterpart trades verses about hustling, maturing and keeping a cool front. A man who feels she is too proud is brushed off, leaving him heartbroken and drinking. The tone is flirty and swaggering, built on Paris luxury-shopping references and the slang idea of a certified baddie.

Ma baby, c'est une sexy nana
My baby is a real sexy girl
Elle met Chanel, Gucci, Prada (oui)
She rocks Chanel, Gucci, and Prada (yeah)
Shopping, Galeries, c'pas chez Printemps (coucou)
She shops at Galeries, not down at Printemps (hello)
Je paye cash les affaires, j'ai pas emprunté
I pay cash for everything, nothing is on credit
