about
Sung in Adjoukrou and French
Jealousy is a barrier to the development of women.
Being jealous of a man to the point of forgetting his ambitions is not the solution.
Loving your partner and complementing each other is a couple's secret.
A cultured, modern and independent woman is a model of perfection.
Chanté en adjoukrou et français
La jalousie est un frein à l’épanouissement des femmes.
Être jalouse d'un homme au point d’en oublier ses ambitions n'est pas une solution.
Aimer son partenaire et se compléter est le secret d'un couple.
Une femme cultivée, moderne et indépendante est un modèle de perfection.

lyrics
You scream from the rooftops, he's mine
You are possessive and suffocating
You call him all the time out of jealousy
You spend all your time watching him
Your love for him makes you blind
You've lost your friends for fear they would take him from you
He feels squeezed, pressured
You might lose him if you keep going like this
Jealous, jealous, jealous, breathe a little
Jealous, jealous, jealous, sit down for a bit (2x)
Make yourself love more instead of suffocating him
Be an independent woman, occupy your day
Cultivate yourself, be modern and a model
Behind a great man is a great woman
He will never tell you, he will just leave
Stop being afraid, stop with your jealousy
Being in love is magic
Be careful, you will lose him
Jealous, jealous, jealous, breathe a little
Jealous, jealous, jealous, sit down for a bit (2x)
+++++++
Tu cries sur les toits, c’est le mien
Tu es possessive et étouffante
Tu l’appelles tout le temps par jalousie
Tu passes tout ton temps à le surveiller
Ton amour pour lui te rend aveugle
Tu as perdu tes amies de peur qu’elles te le prennent
Il se sent compressé, pressé
Tu risques de le perdre si tu continues comme ça
Jalouse, jalouse, jalouse, respire un peu
Jalouse, jalouse, jalouse, assieds-toi un peu (2x)
Fais-toi aimer davantage au lieu de l’étouffer
Sois une femme indépendante, occupe ta journée
Cultive-toi, soit moderne et un modèle
Derrière un grand homme, se trouve une grande femme
Il ne te dira jamais, il partira
Arrête d’avoir peur, arrête avec ta jalousie
Être amoureux est une magie
Attention tu vas le perdre
Jalouse, jalouse, jalouse, respire un peu
Jalouse, jalouse, jalouse, assieds-toi un peu (2x)
