Antou saw that and said the fool made it (GAOU means FOOL in slang)

wait, let me go and take his money (like scam him)

its the second fool who is the real fool

and we say first fool is not a fool

sunday morning knock knock someone's knocking at my door

to my great surprise it's the gal Antou i see

jokingly i say its been a while we've seen each other

(wrong translation on your original he says "EN SEMBLANT" not "ON S'EMBRASSE")

she wants to lie to me she says darling i had traveled

i am back

i belong to you

take me as a gift and do what you want with me

{au Refrain}

i say sweet darling what do you want to eat

without hesitation she says barbecued chicken

when we say first fool is not a fool

its the second fool who is the real fool

i say sweet darling, its chicken you want to eat

chicken is too small and wont satisfy you

its barbecued cayman i will give you

"kedjenou" of elephant you are going to eat (kedjenou is an african dish)

na gnere na gnere wah, na gnere na gnere wah

she is upset and says she is going home

if she goes home, horniness is going to kill me

(coagulation means like coagulated sperm for lack of sex)

i ask for her forgiveness and she accepted

then at one point, she messed it all up

she stop asking for chicken and now wants alloco (alloco its an african fried plantain dish)

if its alloco,its not complicated

its a banana plantation

that you are going to fry

instead of a fork

that cant fill you up

its with a rake that you are going to eat

na gnere na gnere wa, na gnere na gnere wah
