Gudi Lyrics Translation Vj | Prince de la ville
VJ asks forgiveness for his absence in lyrics like ‘Pardonne-moi pour toutes ces fois / Où je n’ai pas été là pour toi’. He writes about late-night Wolof reflections comparing his beloved to lightning. The singer admits ignorance of his partner’s pain during busy tours.
On Pourrait Continuer Comme Ca Se Mentir Tous Les Jours Sans CesseWe could go on like this, lying to each other every single day.
Dis-moi Si Tu Veux Plus Me ParlerTell me if you don’t want to talk to me anymore,
Ou Si Tu N’veux Plus AvancerOr if you don’t want to move forward.
Dans Tous Les Couples Y’a Des Hauts Et Des Bas Faut Les AffronterIn every couple there are ups and downs, we’ve got to face them.
Vas-y Laisse Moi Un Message Putin Juste Un MessageGo ahead, leave me a message, dmn it, just one message.
T’sais J’aime Tellement MaladroitementYou know, I love so clumsily,
Mais Quand J’aime C’est Tellement SincereBut when I love, it’s so sincere.
Les “je T’aime” Sortent De Ma PenseeThe “I love yous” come straight from my thoughts.
J’te Disais Que Des Trucs CensesI was only telling you things that made sense.
Pardonne-moi Pour Toutes Ces FoisForgive me for all those times,
Ou Je N’ai Pas Ete La Pour ToiWhen I wasn’t there for you,
Ou Je N’ai Pas Pris De La HauteursWhen I didn’t gain enough perspective.
J’ai Tellement Suivis Ma RancoeurI followed my resentment for so long.
Guudi Lay Tokk Yaye Dila Xalateeh Nga Melni MeelaxAt night I sit and think of you, you’re like a flash of lightning.
Sete Nala Si Jandj Ak Dior Teh GuissoumalaI looked for you in the North and South, but I didn’t see you.
Yow La Xam Yow La MineYou’re the one I know, the one I’m familiar with.
Djigne Nako Si Yaaa RabiI swear it before my Lord ‘Yaa Rabi’.
Soudone Sama Sago Soxna Ci Nga Dellou CiIf it were up to my will, lady, you’d come back.
Sa Sune Mangui Diemeu Xam Si Linga NehEvery day, I’m trying to understand how you’re feeling.
Lane Moy Mbeuguel Sou Amoul YeurmandeWhat is love if there’s no compassion?
Meunou Mala Xalate Si Ay Loxo KeneneI can’t imagine you in someone else’s arms.
Ya Ngui May Setane Mane May SeungeumYou’re just watching me as I hang my head in despair.
Mais Je N’ai Pas Le Temps Que Tu Requiere Moi J’le SaisBut I don’t have the time you require, I know it.
Moi Je T’ai Absent Tous Les Week-endsI was absent every single weekend.
J’enchainais Spectacles Et ShowcasesI was going from shows to showcases.
J’etais Ignorant De Ta SouffranceI was ignorant of your suffering.
Oh Baby Tu Le Sais Que Tu Me Manques (Tu Me Manques)Oh baby, you know that I miss you (I miss you).
Oh Baby Tu Le Sais Que Tu Me ManquesOh baby, you know that I miss you.
Guudi Lay Tokk Yaye Dila Xalateeh Nga Melni MeelaxAt night I sit and think of you, you’re like a flash of lightning.
Sete Nala Si Jandj Ak Dior Teh GuissoumalaI looked for you in the North and South, but I didn’t see you.
Yow La Xam Yow La MineYou’re the one I know, the one I’m familiar with.
Djigne Nako Si Yaa RabiI swear it before my Lord ‘Yaa Rabi’.
Soudone Sama Sago Soxna Ci Nga Dellou CiIf it were up to my will, lady, you’d come back.
Sa Sune Mangui Diemeu Xam Si Linga NehEvery day, I’m trying to understand how you’re feeling.
Lane Moy Mbeuguel Sou Amoul YeurmandeWhat is love if there’s no compassion?
Meunou Mala Xalate Si Ay Loxo KeneneI can’t imagine you in someone else’s arms.
Ya Ngui May Setane Mane May SeungeumYou’re just watching me as I hang my head in despair.
