O H N A Lyrics in English by Camille Lellouche, Tayc
Pona yo is a phrase from Lingala, a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Camille Lellouche has roots. It directly translates to "for you."
Its inclusion in a French song makes it unique and culturally significant. In the context of the lyrics, it emphasizes the singer's deep devotion, as she declares, "Tout ça pona yo" (All of this for you), highlighting the extent of her love and commitment.
"O H N A" is a love song built entirely around devotion. Camille Lellouche sings about wanting to turn a whole life into one long song with her partner, calling him the cure for every trouble and the melody she already knows by heart.
The chorus, sung together with Tayc, repeats one simple promise: never, never will she hurt him, never will she leave him. In the second half, that promise turns physical — she would follow him anywhere, even flee the country with him, and she only wants to keep walking beside him.
It is a tender, uncomplicated declaration of loyalty, not a song about doubt or conflict — the two voices spend the whole track reassuring each other that neither one is going anywhere.
