[English]

Shaydee's (ouh)

Arrogant as usual

Anyme, listen to this

Baby girl, I'm too nostalgic

Time stops when your naked body enters my room

Baby girl, I'm too nostalgic

Everything stops when your naked body came in

It's gonna be hot (hahaha)

Baby girl, I'm too nostalgic

Time stops when your naked body enters the Shamballa

Ba-badman not romantic when I saw her at night

It wasn't to create Shamballas (badman)

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, badman, she can't be wrong anymore

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, I beg you, I can't forget you

Physicality, physicality

Yeah, I saw you in the club, you had a quality ass

Yeah, but physicality, physicality

Yeah, I saw you in the club, you had a quality ass

It's hmm, oh-oh, her man's in the club, he's

Hmm, oh-oh, her man's in the club, it's

Baby girl, I'm too nostalgic

Time stops when your naked body enters the Shamballa

Ba-badman not romantic when I saw her at night

It wasn't to create Shamballas (badman)

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, badman, she can't be wrong anymore

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, I beg you, I can't forget you

It's no use telling me that if you're cheating on me

You didn't want a love story so forget me

I don't want fragile men in my life

So my dude you can go check

Who are they? Sophia, Melissa, Johanna, Amina (Amina)?

And that's all

Forget me, an ex is an ex

And that's all

Physicality, physicality

Badgyal, real badgyal in the city

Physicality, physicality

Badgyal, real badgyal in the city

When you used to aim at me you couldn't do anything

You couldn't look at me, now you want me

My ass is bursting in my pum pum shorts

Yes, Anyme, it's really me

Keep looking at me

Baby girl, I'm too nostalgic

Time stops when your naked body enters the Shamballa

Ba-badman not romantic when I saw her at night

It wasn't to create Shamballas (badman)

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, badman, she can't be wrong anymore

Now, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Baby girl, I beg you, I can't forget you

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Arrogante comme d'hab'

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ The full sentence would be "Arrogante comme d'habitude". "D'hab'" is a shortened form of "d'habitude" (as usual), using ellipsis to omit letters. This is very common in spoken French and informal writing.

• Le temps s'arrête quand ton corps rentre nu dans la sham

  ➔ Subordinate clause introduced by "quand" (when)

  ➔ The sentence combines a main clause ("Le temps s'arrête" - time stops) with a subordinate clause introduced by "quand" indicating *when* the time stops. "Quand" introduces a temporal relationship.

• C'était pas pour faire des shamballas

  ➔ Negation with "ne...pas" in the imparfait tense.

  ➔ "C'était" is the imparfait of "être" (to be). "Pas pour faire" indicates the purpose was not to make shamballas. The use of *imparfait* implies a continuous or habitual action in the past, or a state of being.

• Main-maintenant, elle veut plus me parler

  ➔ Negation with "ne...plus"

  ➔ "Elle veut plus me parler" translates to "She doesn't want to talk to me anymore". "Plus" indicates that she no longer wants to speak with him.

• Baby girl, j't'en prie j'peux pas t'oublier

  ➔ Contraction of pronouns and verb, use of 'en' as a pronoun.

  ➔ "J't'en prie" is a contracted form of "Je t'en prie", meaning "I beg you" or "Please". "J'peux" is a contracted form of "Je peux". "En" here implicitly refers to something that has been mentioned earlier, perhaps his feelings or the situation.

• Pa-pa lapenn di mwen sa si ou ka tronpé mwen

  ➔ Conditional clause with 'si' and subjunctive mood (implied). Use of Creole.

  ➔ This is Creole French. A more standard French version would be something like "Ça ne vaut pas la peine de me le dire si tu me trompes". 'Si' introduces a conditional clause, and ideally the verb 'tromper' should be in the subjunctive, although in informal settings the indicative is often used. This sentence means "It's not worth telling me if you're cheating on me."

• Ou pa té lé love story alors oubliyé mwen

  ➔ Negation in the past with 'pa té', imperative mood.

  ➔ This is also Creole French. "Ou pa té lé" means "You didn't want". "Oubliyé mwen" is the imperative form of the verb "oublier" (to forget), meaning "Forget me".
