Daddy Lyrics in English Aya Nakamura , SMD

Home / Lyrics Translation / Aya Nakamura / Daddy

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

It wasn't complicated

But come on now, it's mixed up

Don't get mad

'Cause I'm telling you the truth

You hurt me

You just had to make it up

But time's up

Now, there's a snag

Between the two of us

There's a snag

I think there's a snag

You can't mix me

With your groupies, mix me

He says How

How you talk, baby

You need to chill

It's only you, my baby

It's not like that

You gotta calm down a bit

You gotta believe in us

Hmm, daddy

Told me

Aya, Aya, you don't listen to me

You don't listen to me

But hmm, daddy

You don't listen to me either

You don't listen to me

Yet it's necessary

Necessary

Yeah

Us two, it's necessary

Necessary

Baby won't listen

Baby wants to gorge

Baby wants to mix it all

My feelings are messed up

She told me

Time's up

I've got liters to pour out

I don't know

If she thinks I'm an idiot

I gave it all, I feel screwed

Honestly, you only loved my cash

You forget the deals fast

Tell me if I gotta remind you

Honestly, come on, let's stop

That's enough, my pride

Called me, no, no

You blocked me

On every app

Leave it, leave it

He says How

How you talk, baby

You need to chill

It's only you, my baby

It's not like that

You gotta calm down a bit

You gotta believe in me

Hmm, daddy

Told me

Aya, Aya, you don't listen to me

You don't listen to me

But hmm

Daddy

You don't listen to me either

You don't listen to me

Yet it's necessary

Necessary

Yeah

Us two, it's necessary

Necessary

When you do that

I forget quick

My girlfriends' advice

You make me fragile

Don't listen to your girlfriends

Nah, nah, talked too much

Now we gotta act

All of a sudden, I'm nostalgic

I think back to the start

It makes me fragile

He says How

How you talk, baby

You need to chill

It's only you, my baby

It's not like that

You gotta calm down a bit

You gotta believe in me

Hmm, daddy

Told me

Aya, Aya, you don't listen to me

You don't listen to me

But hmm, daddy

You don't listen to me either

You don't listen to me

Yet it's necessary

Necessary

Yeah

Us two, it's necessary

Necessary

Hmm, daddy told me

Aya, Aya, you don't listen to me

Hmm, daddy

But you don't listen to me either

SONG MEANING

“Daddy” is a musical tug-of-war in which Aya Nakamura and SMD act out a lovers’ argument in real time. Aya feels betrayed and reminds her partner that he hurt her, “y a un bémol” (literally, a flat note) in their story. She refuses to be lumped in with his groupies and calls him out for ignoring the clock — the time to fix things has run out. Her nickname for him, Daddy, sounds sweet but is loaded with sarcasm, setting the tone for a playful yet heated conversation set to an irresistible Afro-pop beat.

SMD fires back, insisting Aya is the only one for him, yet he complains that she never listens. Both repeat “tu m’écoutes pas” (you don’t listen to me), showing that the real problem is a breakdown in communication. Accusations of pride, money, and social-media blocks swirl while their chemistry keeps pulling them together, leaving the question open: will they calm down and believe in each other, or let the bémol turn their love off-key for good? The song captures the push-and-pull of modern romance, making every French line a lesson in love, slang, and catchy rhythm all at once.
