Review
To the non-French speaker this song sounds so beautiful and melodious. I heard it on the radio in Andorra, which get's radio transmissions from France.
It's only now examining the detail and translation that I realise it's meaning is very serious and severe! How beautiful is the language that it can disguise so much?!
The lyrics are all about running away, killing and assination, (and chocolate!?) Yet to the ear sounds like auditory-chocolate; no doubt helped by the caramelly sound of Awa Imani's voice.
Researching it; the song does have a very serious subject: And that is the racisim towards black women in France.
The video cuts between the vocalists and a two actors who are acting as a couple leaving for somewhere in a car, and going to a disco/dance - where both the singers, Lartiste and Imani are too.
There is a section spoken in the middle when some guy interupts the singing and there's a period of conversation/argument. Here is the text:
-Tu fais quoi ici ?
-Attends, toi. Deux minutes. Je parle à ma femme, Aladin.
-Ta femme ? Ça fait deux ans qu’on n’est plus ensemble.
-Comment ça, on n’est plus ensemble depuis deux ans ?
-Ça fait deux ans et tu le sais très bien.
-Non, non, moi, j’ai jamais dit que j’étais plus avec toi, moi.
-Moi, j’ai dit que je ne suis plus avec toi.
-Oui, ben, c’est pas toi qui décide. Moi, si je veux être avec toi, je suis avec toi. Donc, Aladin, il va reprendre son cheval et il va retourner avec son copain, le génie et toi, tu vas rentrer à la baraque.
-Non, chez moi, je rentrerai. Chez moi
-Et c’est quoi cette musique « chocolat, chocolat » ? Quoi, tu t’es pris pour Omar Sy ? Y a pas de chocolat
I've used Google translate to get the gist:
-What are you doing here ?
- Wait, you. Two minutes. I'm talking to my wife, Aladdin.
-Your wife ? We haven't been together for two years.
- What do you mean, we haven't been together for two years?
-It's been two years and you know it very well.
-No, no, me, I never said that I was more with you, me.
- I said that I am no longer with you.
- Yes, well, it's not you who decides. Me, if I want to be with you, I am with you. So, Aladdin, he's going to take his horse back and he's going to go back with his buddy, the genie and you, you're going to go back to the barracks.
- No, home, I'll go back. Home
-And what is this “chocolate, chocolate” music? What, did you take yourself for Omar Sy? there is no chocolate.
I have no idea if the guy really is Imani's husband; he's a bit annoyed in the beginning, but winds up dancing happily with them both by the end.
