Angela Lyrics in English Aya Nakamura

Home / Lyrics Translation / Aya Nakamura / Angela

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Angela by Aya Nakamura from French to English.

Angela is a magical girl

For her everything seems easy

She doesn't care about your opinions

Cause she lives day to day

In her heart there's only men

Parties and clothes

She takes everything lightly

And only thinks about herself

She smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes

To forget her worries

She dances, dances, dances, dances

All night long

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

In her dreams she marries the richest guy

Who gives in to her biggest whims

It's sad but

For her that's reaching the top

By trying to prove herself and showing off too much

She's fooling herself

By trying to prove herself and showing off too much

Her image is getting worse

She smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes

To forget her worries

She dances, dances, dances, dances

All night long

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

You show what you're not

You show a fake face

That gets dirty over time

Alone you'll end up jobless

You can only blame yourself, Angela

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

Angela you're gonna fall

Angela you're gonna falter

Cause if you keep-keep going

You'll be the neighborhood's laughingstock

SONG MEANING

Meet Angela, the glitter-loving heroine of Aya Nakamura’s catchy track. On the surface she is magique: every night is a party, every problem goes up in smoke, and every dance floor is her kingdom. She shrugs off opinions, dreams of marrying a billionaire, and shows off a flawless façade on the streets. Yet Aya’s lyrics pull back the curtain to reveal a girl masking her worries with cigarettes, nightlife, and flashy clothes.

The song is both a celebration of Angela’s carefree energy and a warning siren. Friends chant that if she keeps chasing appearances, she will tomber (fall) and become “la risée du quartier” – the neighborhood laughingstock. Beneath the addictive beat lies a lesson about authenticity: living only for show can feel exhilarating in the moment, but it risks loneliness, a tarnished image, and dreams that crumble at dawn.
