lyrics

English Traslation:
I received a message today
A real confusion, I have to say
In this message he wrote to me
Words I want to know for who, really!?

He's on the phone all day long
But he only responds to ME sometimes
But when he responds I think it's going to be really good
REAL GOOD!

I waited all day long..
but the only thing he wrote to me was...
"SALON DU COIFFURE" (salon of the hairdresser)
That's what he said on Whatsapp
"Salon du coiffure", that's all his Whatsapp message said!

Chorus:
Whatsapp Whatsapp whatsapp
"Salon du coiffure", that's the only thing he said to me!
Whatsapp Whatsapp whatsapp
"Salon du coiffure", that's the only thing he said to me!

Whatsapp Whatsapp Whatsapp
"SALON DU COIFFURE"
That's all he wrote!
(repeat!)

Original French version:
J'ai reçu un message au'jourdhui..
Un vrai confusion je te dit
dans son message il ecrit de mots
je me demand pour qui?
Il est au telefon tout la journee
mais il ne me repond que parfois
quand il me repond je pense que va etre tres bon tres bon
jai attendu tout la journee et la seule chose qu'il avait a dire
'Salon du coiffure'
Il m'a dit sur le Whatsapp
Salon du coiffure
il m'a dit sur le Whatsapp

Whatsapp whatsapp whatsapp
Salon du coiffure
c'est la seule chose qu'il m'avait a dire
