about

This track marks a new beginning for Zieti. We opened Studio Yeoue in Abidjan this year (2023) and this single is the first of two recordings made in collaboration with Rootstock Studios in Washington, DC. "Tu Te Fache" translates in English as "You Get Angry." The song is a lament from a husband to his wife about how their relationship has become cold and non-communicative. He is at a loss as to what he can do to change their dynamic.

lyrics

French Lyrics:
Comment je vais faire pour qu'on puis s'entendre?
Quand je parle de ça tu te mets en colère
Quand je dis cheri, allons au village
Quand je dis dudu, allons a l'église
Quand je dis cheri, allons au cabaret
Tu ne veux pas, tu ne veux pas

[Lyrics in Guere/Wè are the same sentiment]

English Translation:
What am I to do, so we can understand each other?
When I try to talk about it, you get angry
When I say my dear, let's go to the village
When I say my love, let's go to the church
When I say my dear, let's go to the dance club
You don't want to, you refuse.
