Lyrics & Translation
Learning French with 'PARISIENNE' by GIMS and La Mano 1.9 offers a glimpse into contemporary Parisian slang and urban culture.

You're the prettiest, yeah, the prettiest on my phone
Artificial, but who’s pulling the strings?
It’s like I’m on a leash, I can feel it
Sometimes, like the cash, you just go
That night, you left me speechless
Me, I want a Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
It’s the Warano, R.A.T touch
You’re not part of the crew
She likes guys in the Coupe with some aura, you’ll get her
Champs-Elysées, stroll on the Champs-Elysées
Baby, the cops tracked me, take the wheel, I’ve been drinking
She dims the lights, she’s got it, yeah she dims the lights
She was with me when I was down, wants something real, not for fun
My Parisian, she wants, and so do I
She dropped from the sky, looks too good to be true
Me, I want a Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
Avenue Montaigne, nothing personal
But too many professionals don’t leave me alone
Signal’s gonna cut, I’ve got the tunnel excuse
Number one, still this week
Sometimes, like the cash, you just go
That night, you left me speechless
Me, I want a Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian girl, Parisian girl
Who crosses at the green light, doesn’t care about the Eiffel Tower
Tonight I’ll break the bank, bring out the big bills
Call the firemen, firemen, firemen
And tonight I’ll break the bank, bring out the big bills
Call the firemen, firemen, firemen
I said tonight I’ll break the bank, dad
We’re bringing out the big bills, mom
Call the firemen, firemen, firemen
