Waterfront kid
If you could see me in those old photos
Good friends, wild pranks
The neighbor's mangoes taste way better
Beach days, everyone in the sun
Babi, we're proud
Walk like we don't care
I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss this place
I don't wanna, I don't ever wanna forget
The girlfriends steal the show
No way we're touching the radio
Triple flips in deep water
We've got nothing to envy the Olympics
The boys replay the World Cup
It's carved in my mind
The game of the century
I don't wanna I don't wanna miss this place
I don't wanna, I don't ever wanna forget
Take me back
Everybody at Pedro
We dance non-stop
You show up solo
You leave as a duo
Everybody at Pedro
We dance non-stop
You show up solo
You leave as a duo
Everybody at Pedro
We dance non-stop
You show up solo
You leave as a duo
Everybody at Pedro
We dance non-stop
You show up solo
You leave as a duo
It's so clear inside
When I travel back in time
And the dream's so real
Like I'm still there
This is my home
This is my home
This is my home
This is my, this is my home
I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss this place
I don't wanna, I don't ever wanna forget
Take me back
Take me back

gogogalore / aplenty

Gogo is a fun and informal French expression that means "galore" or "aplenty." It's often used to describe something happening in abundance or with great enthusiasm.

In "Jamais Oublier," the lyrics "On dance à gogo" paint a vibrant picture of dancing with abandon and joy, capturing the carefree spirit of childhood memories. It's a lively word that adds a touch of playfulness to the song.

Jamais Oublier is Kelly Bado’s sun-kissed love letter to her childhood on the Ivorian coast. In playful snapshots she remembers sneaking the neighbor’s mangos, endless beach days in Babi (Abidjan), and improvised World Cup re-matches in the sand. Laughter, triple-flip dives, the soundtrack of girlfriends singing at top volume – every line celebrates a carefree community where “walk like we don't care” is the daily dress code.

The chorus is a joyful plea: Ramène-moi – take me back. Whether she’s picturing the legendary Pedro nightclub where you arrive solo and leave in a duo, or simply closing her eyes to feel the sea breeze again, Bado declares, “This is my home.” The song’s upbeat Afro-pop groove mirrors the warmth of those memories, turning nostalgia into a dance floor invitation and reminding us to guard our own golden moments so we never, ever forget.
