ABIDJAN C’EST DOUX

[Intro – Crowd + music + French voices]

They told me…

“Abidjan c’est doux.”

I didn’t understand at first.

Now I do.

⸻

[Verse 1]

🎶
City lights on the lagoon side,
Music and fashion, people outside.
Everybody walking like a show,
Like the whole city in a fashion flow.

She said “bonsoir,” I said “bonsoir,”
She laughed and said “tu parles pas.”
I said “just a little, not that much,”
She said “then we dance, don’t talk too much.”
🎶

[Hook]

🎶
Abidjan c’est doux, doux, doux,
When she dancing close to you.
She said “viens, on va danser,”
So we danced the night away.

Abidjan c’est doux, mon amour,
Music playing till the morning pour.
She said “reste avec moi…”
I said “d’accord… pourquoi pas?”
🎶

⸻

[Verse 2]

🎶
Coupe-decale on the radio loud,
Everybody dancing in the crowd.
She move fast then move slow,
Smiling like she already know.

I said “tu es belle” by the bar,
She said “merci,” dancing in the dark.
And the way that city move at night…
Everything just feel right.
🎶

[Hook]

🎶
Abidjan c’est doux, doux, doux,
When she dancing close to you.
She said “viens, on va danser,”
So we danced the night away.

[Bridge – Spoken]

Every country has its own flavor.

Abidjan…

Is smooth.

⸻

[Final Verse]

🎶
When the sun came up by the water side,
She looked at me and smiled real wide.
Said “tu reviens?” — you coming back?

I said…
“I have to.”
🎶
