Home / Lyrics Translation / Aya Nakamura / La Dot

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

We met, I didn't know love

I had all the guys on the sidelines

Watch out, you're gonna snap

I gave in, take me, gift

In the corners of my head there's something that made me

'Follow him, don't kid yourself,' that's what my conscience told me

Okay I'm the target, I take the whole package, I say okay

Basically I'm stubborn, you softened the deal

What to do, I'm turning scatterbrained

I don't have control anymore, basically I'm stubborn

What to do, I'm turning scatterbrained

You wanted me, you got me

You had to prove your love to me

You wanted me, you got me

You had to prove your love to me, yeah

Baby wants a kid

I want the dream life

Baby wants a kid

Since you showed up, I've changed

Like Bonnie and Clyde, you're approved

You hit the bull's-eye of my heart

I wanna finish life with you

Follow me, you'll see, it'll get illegal

You and me all over the place

Trust me, I'm here for you

You wanted me, you got me

You had to prove your love to me

You wanted me, you got me

You had to prove your love to me, yeah

yeah, yeah the dowry

Baby wants a kid

Baby wants a kid

We make the combo, I found the recipe

Marriage, kids, I think that's the idea

Bye to your exes, exes stink

Or else I'll take care of your pile of

SONG MEANING

La Dot sweeps us into Aya Nakamura’s bold love story, where the French-Malian superstar flips the traditional idea of a dowry on its head. At first she is the unattainable heroine, surrounded by admirers but unmoved. One determined lover wins her over by proving his devotion, softening her famously stubborn heart and turning their romance into a Bonnie-and-Clyde adventure. The chorus’ playful “oui, oui” becomes her approving stamp as she surrenders to love’s thrill.

Yet Aya keeps the power firmly in her own hands. “La dot” is more than a wedding payment – it is her checklist for the dream life: marriage, children, loyalty and an end to ex-drama. She demands the full “package” of respect and commitment, making it clear that she will not settle for less. Backed by a catchy Afro-pop beat, the lyrics blend vulnerability with swagger, offering listeners a celebration of modern love where tradition, ambition and self-confidence dance together.
