Verse 1
She looked good, she looked hot
Her eyes said 'you have to unbutton me'
Oh, yes
I made the lioness purr
You know, I told myself that one day I'll have to give it back
I'll have to give it back
I sent a little text message
To act as an after-sales service
In case I want to hook up with her again
Sleeping agent, closed file
She read my little text messages
Responded long after
What kind of way is that to neglect me?
It confused me a bit
Chorus 1
No, she doesn't have my time, that girl
She doesn't have my time
Not even a callback, not a single message for me
She doesn't have my time
I've known much better than her, what does she think?
She doesn't have my time
Well, let her act all high and mighty, anyway I'm not lying
She doesn't have my time
Since she doesn't have my time
Since she doesn't have my time
Verse 2
I saw that she has a nice ass, that bitch
I'd given up on her but I'm following her again
I take it upon myself, I'm grinding, oh yeah
So that she struggles when I turn things around
I have to turn things around
I sent back some more little text messages
Without acting like a hungry dog
Her passion, I have to reawaken it
My name, I'm going to make her scream it
She read my little text messages
Responded long after
What kind of way is that to neglect me?
It confused me a bit
Chorus 2
No, she doesn't have my time, that girl
She doesn't have my time
Not even a callback, not a single message for me
She doesn't have my time
I've known much better than her, what does she think?
She doesn't have my time
Well, let her act all high and mighty, anyway I'm not lying
She doesn't have my time
Since she doesn't have my time
Since she doesn't have my time
Bridge 1
I think she likes playing me for a fool
I think she likes playing me for a fool
Cut my dreams with a machete
Cut my dreams with a machete
This little girl makes me think
Her moods only turn me on more
My ego, she smashed it
I'm pissed off, I have to make a move on her again
Seum is word from Arabic origin, used to express a state of 'rage', 'hate' or 'disappointment'
This little girl makes me think
Her moods only turn me on more
My ego, she smashed it
I'm pissed off, I have to make a move on her again
Chorus 3
No, she doesn't have my time, that girl
She doesn't have my time
Not even a callback, not a single message for me
She doesn't have my time
I've known much better than her, what does she think?
She doesn't have my time
Well, let her act all high and mighty, anyway I'm not lying
She doesn't have my time
Since she doesn't have my time

Did you like this lyrics translation?

déboussolédisoriented / bewildered

Déboussolé literally means 'disoriented' or 'bewildered', as if one has lost their compass. It's a more evocative word than simply 'confused'.

In the song, the narrator uses it to describe his feeling when the woman he's pursuing takes a long time to respond to his messages. He sings, "Ça m'a un peu déboussolé" (That left me a bit disoriented), highlighting his surprise and frustration at her unexpected lack of immediate interest, which throws him off his game.

"Elle n'a pas mon temps" is Singuila's frustrated take on a woman who keeps stringing him along. The title itself, "she doesn't have my time," is the song's whole argument: he's decided she isn't worth the wait anymore.

He opens by admitting the attraction was real, she looked good, she made her intentions clear, and he fell for it. But the messages he sends go unanswered for days, and when she finally replies it's on her own terms. Verse by verse he lists the ways she plays it cool while he does all the chasing.

The chorus keeps circling back to the same line: she doesn't have his time. It's part accusation, part pep talk, him convincing himself to stop giving her the attention she isn't returning.

By the final verses the tone shifts from hurt to defiance. He's still stung (his ego took a hit) but he'd rather walk away than keep being someone's afterthought.
