Baby Boy Lyrics Translation – Aya Nakamura | Kali Uchis
Aya Nakamura starts by claiming innocence while admitting she plays games. She writes, ‘I’m the captain of his ship, but baby, I’ll let you take the wheel.’ The vocalist describes a man who erases her past heartaches with just his fingertips.
Inocente, no soy tan inocenteI’m innocent, but I’m not that innocent.

J’suis la capitaine de son bateauI’m the captain of his ship,
Mais bébé, toi, j’te laisse me piloterbut baby, I’ll let you take the wheel.
T’es du genre à aimer tout commanderYou’re the type who loves to be in charge,
Monte à bord, monte à bord sans chavirer, ehso climb aboard without tipping the boat over.
À la base j’les mène tous en bateauUsually, I’m the one playing games with them,
Il a mis son pied, son cœur sur moi, déter’but he’s determined, putting his heart and soul into me.
De mentir j’ai cessé, cesséI’ve stopped the lies, stopped them all,
Il faut cesser, il faut cesser de faire semblantI have to stop, I have to stop pretending.
J’sais pas comment tu m’as vue, j’sais pas comment tu m’as eueI don’t know how you saw me or how you won me over.
J’suis la reine de la sphère, pas deux comme moi dans la rue (Nan)I’m the queen of my world, there’s no one like me on the street (No).
C’était comme ça que ça s’est passéThat’s just the way it happened,
Mes bobos au cœur, il a tout effacéhe’s erased all the heartaches I used to feel.
Il a ce charme particulierHe has this special kind of charm,
Du bout des doigts me fait vibrerhe makes me tremble with just his fingertips.
Il est bâti comme j’aimeHe’s built exactly the way I like,
Me fait kiffer, kiffer, kiffer, kiffermaking me adore him more and more.
Il a ce charme particulierHe has this special kind of charm,
Du bout des doigts me fait vibrerhe makes me tremble with just his fingertips.
Il est bâti comme j’aimeHe’s built exactly the way I like,
Me fait kiffer, kiffer, kiffer, kiffermaking me adore him more and more.
Qué miedo mi menteMy mind actually scares me,
Todo lo que quiero lo tengo en frentebecause everything I want is right in front of me.
Inocente, no soy tan inocenteI’m innocent, but I’m not that innocent.

In a room full of hoes y me aburríIn a room full of ‘other girls’, I just got bored.
Not easily impressed, this shit don’t excite meI’m not easily impressed, this stuff doesn’t excite me.
Put me in a Rolls Royce and an AMGPut me in a Rolls Royce and an AMG,
Tell them bitches play their role, can’t no one competetell those ‘other women’ to stay in their place, because no one can compete.
Can’t no one competeNo one can compete.
