Pretty girl looking for a handsome dude
How do we do this, I'm not much of a liar
I've got the knack, I can smell the bullsh*t, yeah
The bullsh*t, yeah, yeah
I'm not gonna miss you, you who thought you knew me
You're full of gibberish, you'll know nothing about the new me
I can't stand it, you dared to compare me
Don't worry, I'll handle it all, that's life
But who's gonna let themselves go?
I'm not gonna let myself go
If it's over, that's life, that's life, life, life
And soon, I'll have forgotten everything
Honey yes, yes, yes
Pretty girl looking for a handsome dude
How do we do this, I'm not much of a liar
I've got the knack, I can smell the bullsh*t, yeah
The bullsh*t, yeah, yeah
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
If you meet the criteria, that works for me
I'm not into playing shady games
If you think you can deliver, we're good
You can send your resume by email
But who's gonna let themselves go?
I'm not gonna let myself go
If it's over, that's life, that's life, life, life
And soon, I'll have forgotten everything
Honey yes, yes, yes
Pretty girl looking for a handsome dude
How do we do this, I'm not much of a liar
I've got the knack, I can smell the bullsh*t, yeah
The bullsh*t yeah, yeah
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
Dude, you talked a good game but I admit it's over
You're f*cking up and you want me to admit I'm wrong, lol
But who are you trying to fool, me, I'm mentally strong
Yeah who are you trying to fool
Back to reality, me, I'm going back to reality
Yeah I'm mentally strong, who are you trying to fool, who are you trying to fool
Pretty girl looking for a handsome dude
How do we do this, I'm not much of a liar
I've got the knack, I can smell the bullsh*t, yeah
The bullsh*t, yeah, yeah
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
He made me stupid, stupid, stupid
I fell first
Will look for a new dude
You made me stupid, stupid, stupid

charabiasgibberish / nonsense

Charabias means 'gibberish' or 'nonsense'. It's a fun, slightly informal word that you don't hear in every French song, making it quite unique and memorable.

In "Jolie Nana," Aya Nakamura uses it to describe someone who is full of empty talk and meaningless words: "T'es rempli de charabias" (You're full of nonsense). It perfectly captures the feeling of being fed up with someone's insincere chatter, making it a relatable and engaging word for learners.

Get ready for a total confidence booster! In "Jolie Nana," French-Malian superstar Aya Nakamura gives us the ultimate anthem for moving on and knowing your worth. The song is a public announcement: a "jolie nana" (pretty girl) is officially looking for a "joli djo" (handsome guy). But this isn't a desperate search. Aya makes it clear she's over her ex, who made her feel "bête" (stupid) and tried to play games. Now, she's back, stronger than ever, and she can spot a liar from a mile away.

This track is all about self-respect and setting high standards. Aya hilariously tells potential new boyfriends they can basically send her their résumés, or "CVs," if they think they can measure up! She's not going to "négliger" (neglect) herself for anyone ever again. The message is simple and powerful: if a relationship ends, "c'est la vie" (that's life). The most important thing is to love yourself, know what you want, and never settle for less.
