N'import' nawak

Les Wriggles' song "N'import' nawak" is a humorous yet poignant exploration of life's absurdities and the chaos that often accompanies human existence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist whose life is a series of mishaps and misunderstandings, leading to a sense of being an outcast. The opening lines set the tone, describing a life that feels like hell, devoid of friends and filled with mistakes. The protagonist is labeled with derogatory terms, highlighting societal judgment and the struggle for acceptance. The encounter with Paul on Boulevard Barbès adds a layer of unexpected humor and irony, challenging stereotypes and societal norms about sexuality.

The chorus, "N'importe n'awak, tu fais n'importe quoi tout le temps," translates to "You do anything, all the time," encapsulating the theme of randomness and lack of control. The second verse continues this theme, recounting a disastrous driving lesson that ends in chaos. This serves as a metaphor for the unpredictability of life and the protagonist's inability to conform to societal expectations, despite their best efforts.

The final verse takes a broader perspective, listing a series of global and historical atrocities that the protagonist did not commit. This juxtaposition serves to put their personal failures into context, suggesting that while their life may be chaotic, it pales in comparison to the larger-scale horrors perpetrated by humanity. The song concludes on a somewhat reassuring note, implying that despite the protagonist's personal chaos, they are not responsible for the world's greatest evils, and thus, their life is "cool" in comparison. This blend of humor, irony, and social commentary makes "N'import' nawak" a thought-provoking and entertaining piece.
