Lyrics
J’ai ram’né du fond du Zimbabwe
Des souv’nirs impossibles d’oublier
J’ai ram’né une p’tite fille ben bronzée
Pour remplacer mon chum qu’y ont mangé
Y’a des papous
Qui mangent de tout
V’là deux s’maines que j'étais arrivé
Ils m’ont posé un gros anneaux dans l’nez
J’ai mangé du crocodile salé
Du serpent, du tigre d’la mouche tsé-tsé
Y’a des papous
Qu’y ont peur d’la boue
C’est comme ça qu’sa passe dans le Zimbabwe
J’ai appris une chanson que j’vas t’montrer
Tu vas voir c’est pas ben compliqué
C’est houm ba loum bam ba loum boum boué
Houm ba loum bam ba Zimbabwe
Houm ba loum bam ba loum boum boué
Houm ba loum bam ba Zimbabwe
Y’a des papous
Qui sont pas fous
Zimbabwe
Lyrics translation
I was born from the bottom of Zimbabwe
Surv'nirs impossible to forget
I was born a little girl ben tanned
To replace my chum that they ate there
There are Papu
Who eat everything
V'there two s'maines that I had arrived
They put a big ring in my nose.
I ate salted crocodile
From the snake, from the Tiger of the tsetse fly
There are Papu
What are afraid of mud
This is how his pass in Zimbabwe
I learned a song I'll show you
It's not complicated.
It's houm BA loum bam ba loum Boum bué
Houm ba loum bam ba Zimbabwe
Houm BA loum bam ba loum boum boué
Houm ba loum bam ba Zimbabwe
There are Papu
Who are not crazy
Zimbabwe
