Oualalaradime [English translation]

OK well , I had all the blames

Liar as an expert dentist

Dribbler like Scifo , but even ruder

Very soon I didn't want to work

And like Pinocchio but without the fairy

I wickedly lied , and I got by

I lied as often as one coughs

And my nose never got longer

I played so many bad tricks on the sly

- Believe me ?

- You're not worth one cent !

- I swear , Oualalaradime

{ Chorus ( x2 ) }

Ouala , oualalaradime

Ouala , oualalaradime

OK well , I was alike Canto

I would even talk to gulls in slang

I was Walter Hugo .. the poet !

Very soon I wanted like big boys

To play at being a cow-boy with fake bullets

Get alot of cash , and boom !

When I was 10 , I was so tough

I wanted to take driver's licence

To the instructor of a driving school

I said 'Sign that , I need a car'

- Believe me ?

- You're not worth one cent !

- I swear , Oualalaradime

{ Chorus ( x2 ) }

Then my mother , with blows of insults

Would say me 'Don't be so rude

Say hi when meeting an adult'

And me , being as stubborn as two camels

Arguing for a glass of water

I had to act like a good boy

But try to figure out why in the playground

It was the adult who would take off his hat

When I was 10 , I was fierce

They should have sewn my lips

I make stuff up but it's for the rhymes

I swear it on Sim

{ Chorus ( x2 ) }

My father was a bricklayer

And would break the news about his feelings to me

All that's left to do is to guess how

When I would get off my home in the morning

I would make all my friends believe

That to beat me , they had to be twenty

When I was 10 , I was angry

Nobody would never see my school reports anymore

I was under 18 but I had a major advantage

For having bullied the postman

- Believe me ?

- You're not worth one CFA franc !

- I swear on me !

{ Chorus ( x2 ) }
