Lyrics of Premier Gaou - Francis Mercier, Magic System

Premier Gaou (original)

C’est dans ma galère que la go
Antou m’a quitté oh ah
C’est dans ma galère que la go
Antou m’a quitté oh ah
C’est dans ma galère que la go
Antou m’a quitté oh ah
C’est dans ma galère que la go
Antou m’a quitté oh ah
Quand j’avais un peu
Matin midi soir
On était ensemble
A la rue Princesse
Aux mille maquis
Asalfo payait les poulets
L’argent est fini
Antou a changé de côté
Wari ban nan
Elle a changé de copain
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Dieu merci pour moi eh je savais chanter un peu
J’ai fait ma cassette oh on me voit à la télé
Matin midi soir c’est moi je chante à la radio
Antou a vu ça elle dit le gaou a percé
Attends je vais partir le couper
Et on dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
On dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
Dimanche matin eh koko on frappe à ma porte
A ma grande surprise oh c’est la go Antou je vois
On s’embrasse j’ai dit oh y’a longtemps qu’on s’est plus revu
Elle veut me mentir oh elle dit chéri j’avais voyagé
Je suis de retour
Je t’appartiens
Prends-moi cadeau, fais ce que tu veux
Mais on dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
Et on dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
J’ai dit chéri coco qu’est-ce que tu veux manger
Sans même hésiter elle me dit poulet braisé
Quand on te dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh
J’ai dit chéri coco eh c’est poulet tu veux manger
Poulet est trop petit ça peut pas te rassasier
C’est caïman braisé, je vais te donner
Kedjenou d'éléphant, tu vas manger
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Elle est fâchée, elle dit elle s’en va à la maison
Si elle va à la maison population va me tuer
Je lui ai demandé pardon, elle a accepté
A un moment donné, elle a tout gâté
Elle est quittée dans poulet, elle s’en va dans aloco
Si c’est aloco c’est pas compliqué
C’est plantation de bananes
Tu vas griller
Au lieu de fourchette, ça peut pas bien piquer
C’est avec râteau, tu vas manger oh
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Et on dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
Et on dit premier gaou n’est pas gaou oh
C’est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah

(translation)

It's in my galley that the go
Antou left me oh ah
It's in my galley that the go
Antou left me oh ah
It's in my galley that the go
Antou left me oh ah
It's in my galley that the go
Antou left me oh ah
When I had a little
Morning, noon evening
We were together
At Princess Street
To the thousand maquis
Asalfo paid for the chickens
The money is over
Antou switched sides
Wari ban nan
She changed boyfriends
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Thank God for me hey I could sing a little
I made my tape oh you see me on TV
Morning noon evening it's me I sing on the radio
Antou saw that she said the gaou broke through
Wait I'll go cut it
And we say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
They say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
Sunday morning eh koko there's a knock on my door
To my surprise oh it's the go Antou I see
We kiss I said oh it's been a long time since we've seen each other
She wants to lie to me oh she say honey I had traveled
I'm back
I belong to you
Take me a gift, do what you want
But we say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
And we say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
I said darling coco what do you want to eat
Without even hesitating she tells me braised chicken
When you are told first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh
I said darling coco hey it's chicken you want to eat
Chicken is too small it can't fill you up
It's braised caiman, I'll give you
Elephant kedjenou, you will eat
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
She mad, she say she's going home
If she goes home people will kill me
I asked her forgiveness, she accepted
At one point she spoiled everything
She left in chicken, she's leaving in aloco
If it's aloco it's not complicated
It's a banana plantation
You're going to grill
Instead of fork, it can't sting well
It's with rake, you gon' eat oh
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
And we say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
And we say first gaou is not gaou oh
It's second gaou which is niata oh ah
