Calculer Lyrics in English by Naza
Catimini is a fascinating French word that means 'stealth' or 'secrecy', often used in the phrase "en catimini" (secretly, on the sly).
In Naza's song, he sings, "On fait nos bails en catimini," which translates to "We do our business in secret." This word adds a layer of intrigue, suggesting clandestine activities and a desire to operate discreetly, making it a memorable and engaging choice for learners.
Naza's "Calculer" is all about the hustle and staying true to yourself, no matter what. He kicks things off by saying, "On a déjà donné, on a déjà donné / On va pas chômer" [We've already given, we've already given / We're not going to be idle], setting the tone for constant work and ambition. He's feeling good, "Tu sais qu'on pète la forme" [You know we're in great shape], and focused on success, "Et le but c'est qu'on s'en sorte" [And the goal is that we get out of it].
He also touches on a personal relationship, mentioning "On s'embrouille de temps en temps / Des mots doux quand je m'emporte" [We argue from time to time / Sweet words when I get carried away] and how they communicate privately, "En PV, ouais, on s'parle en PV" [In private message, yeah, we talk in private message]. But the core message keeps coming back to his grind. He repeats, "Rien à changer" [Nothing to change], emphasizing his consistent approach. He's working hard, even when he hasn't slept, "J'arrive en I, j'ai pas dormi" [I arrive in I, I haven't slept], and doing things discreetly, "On fait nos bails en catimini" [We do our things secretly], so no one can manipulate them. He even references his past, "ça mon premier business c'était d'vendre la beuh" [my first business was selling weed], showing how far he's come while still holding onto his roots. It's a confident anthem about staying on your path and making your own way.
