Haut Niveau Lyrics in English by Aya Nakamura
S'enjailler is a vibrant and modern French slang term, particularly popular in West Africa and among younger generations in France. It means "to have a good time," "to party," or "to enjoy oneself immensely."
In the context of Aya Nakamura's song, she sings, "Le plan c'était s'enjailler" (The plan was to have a good time). It perfectly captures the carefree and celebratory vibe of the song, suggesting a desire for fun and enjoyment rather than serious commitment. It's a word that adds a cool, contemporary flair to the lyrics.
In "Haut Niveau," French superstar Aya Nakamura is here to remind a guy exactly who she is. The whole song is a masterclass in confidence. She tells him straight up, "Tu voulais me comparer aux autres / Mais moi, c'est le haut niveau" (You wanted to compare me to others / But me, I'm high level). It seems they had a good thing going, something she calls "pépères" (chilling), but he's the one who "as tout gâché" (ruined everything).
She's not just bragging; she's setting her standards. Aya declares she's someone "Qui mérite en vrai que du cent pourcent" (Who really deserves 100 percent). She playfully calls herself his "cho-cho-chocolat" (cho-cho-chocolate), saying he has many flavors to choose from, but she's "sa préférée" (his favorite). The relationship started as just fun, but then "tout d'un coup le boug est love" (all of a sudden the guy is in love) and tried to "cadenasser" (lock her down). But the great Nakamura is having none of it. She's on a whole different level, and she knows it.
