L'usure literally translates to "wear and tear" or "attrition." It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in pop song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, M. Pokora sings, "Je vais t'avoir à l'usure," which means "I'm going to get you through attrition" or "I'm going to wear you down." He's expressing a persistent, determined approach to win over the person he desires, suggesting he'll keep trying until she gives in. This gives the word a strategic and somewhat playful double meaning in a romantic pursuit.
Ouh Na Na is M. Pokora’s playful invitation to drop everything and surrender to a night sizzling with chemistry. From the very first line, the French pop star hangs on a mysterious woman’s lips, captivated by her Riri-like confidence. He compares his own desire to a prowling wildcat, determined to wear down her defenses until only the music, their breath, and the pulse of the city remain between them.
The lyrics whisk us through a tantalizing loop of Taxi → Dance floor → Hotel, all wrapped in the hypnotic refrain “toute la nuit.” Pokora paints intimacy as an adventure where “everything is allowed, nothing is crazy,” blending midnight swims, room-service wine, and whispered urges to “go slow.” The repeated “Ouh na na” becomes both a flirtatious hook and a promise of lingering heat, celebrating the thrill of living in the moment, forgetting the outside world, and letting music guide two bodies that refuse to sleep.
