Lyrics and translation Vegedream - La dot

La dot

Lancelot du lac

J'ai choisi femme africaine pour me marier oh, marier oh
J'ai choisi femme congolaise pour me marier oh, marier oh
Le problème c'est que certaines familles ne savent pas doser
Donc mon amour dit moi combien tu coutes euh?
Elle m'a dit "baby love, moi dans ma coutugume, il faut des westons"
"Il faut des costugumes, il faut des pagnes, il faut des boissons"
"Il faut une grosse kichta qui met des frissons"

J'lui demande combien? Combien? Combien tu vaux pour ton daron?
Dis-moi c'est combien? Combien? Combien tu vaux pour ton daron?
Elle m'a pas dit "c'est 10 000 euros"
(Elle m'a pas dit "c'est 10 000 euros")
Elle m'a pas dit "c'est 20 000 euros", elle c'est 30 000 euros

Bah si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, ben j'irai gifler ton papa
(30 000 euros pour te doter bien, bah, j'irai gifler ton papa)
Si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, bah, bien j'irai gifler ton papa
(30 000 euros pour te doter bien, j'irai gifler ton papa)

Je vais t'faire un contrat de mariage, obligé, obligé oh
Si on divorce faudra me rendre mon seille-o, seille-o oh
C'est uniquement parce que je t'aime, j'suis prêt à payer les 30 000 euros
Mais bébé attention, faudra faire des concessions
J'te réveille à trois heures du matin (eh), fais-moi d'l'aloko (Aloko), chauffe-moi du pondu (pondu)
Dance le dombolo ('bolo) et si j'veux mogou, faudra me donner jusqu'à c'que j'sois fatigué

Elle m'a pas dit "c'est 10 000 euros" (elle m'a pas dit "c'est 10 000 euros")
Elle m'a pas dit "c'est 20 000 euros", elle c'est 30 000 euros

Bah si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, bah, j'irai gifler ton papa
(30 000 euros pour te doter bah, j'irai gifler ton papa)
Si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, bah, j'irai gifler ton papa
(Si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter bah, j'irai gifler ton papa)

Si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, bah, j'irai gifler ton papa
(30 000 euros pour te doter bah, j'irai gifler ton papa)
Si c'est 30 000 euros pour te doter, bah, j'irai gifler ton papa
(30 000 euros pour te doter bah, j'irai gifler ton papa)

Doter oh, papa

Dowry

Lancelot of the Lake

I have chosen an African woman to be my wife oh, to be my wife oh
I have chosen a Congolese woman to be my wife oh, to be my wife oh
The problem is that some families don't know how to dose
So my love, tell me how much you cost?
She said to me "baby love, according to my customs, you need to buy some western clothes"
"You need to buy some costumes, you need to buy some loincloths, you need to buy some drinks"
"You need to buy a big cow that gives me goosebumps"

I asked her how much? How much? How much are you worth to your father?
Tell me how much? How much? How much are you worth to your father?
She didn't tell me "it's 10,000 euros"
(She didn't tell me "it's 10,000 euros")
She didn't tell me "it's 20,000 euros", she said 30,000 euros

Well, if it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then I'll go slap your father
(30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)
If it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then, well, I'll go slap your father
(30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)

I'll make you a marriage contract, of course, of course oh
If we divorce, you'll have to give me back my bucket, bucket oh
It's only because I love you that I'm willing to pay the 30,000 euros
But baby, be careful, you'll have to make some concessions
I'll wake you up at three in the morning (hey), make me some aloko (Aloko), heat me some pondu (pondu)
Dance the dombolo ('bolo) and if I want some mogou, you'll have to give it to me until I'm tired

She didn't tell me "it's 10,000 euros" (she didn't tell me "it's 10,000 euros")
She didn't tell me "it's 20,000 euros", she said 30,000 euros

Well, if it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then, I'll go slap your father
(30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)
If it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then, I'll go slap your father
(If it's 30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)

If it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then, I'll go slap your father
(30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)
If it's 30,000 euros to dowry you, then, I'll go slap your father
(30,000 euros to dowry you well, I'll go slap your father)

Dowry oh, father
