Nâdiya
Nâdiya (born Nadia Zighem on June 19, 1973) is a French R&B singer.
Early life
Nâdiya was born in the city of Tours, France. Her family comes from the region of Mostaganem, in the north of Algeria. She is the youngest in a family of 8 children. Her brothers are named Kader Touati, Baklavah Waheb, and her sisters Malika, Sidartha and Karla. Her father Abdul Raheem worked as a laborer, and her mother Yamina worked as a nurse. At school she displayed a talent for athletics, and gravitated towards the sport-studies section. In 1989, she won the title of Junior Champion of France's 800 meters. Her brother, Kader Zighem is world champion of French boxing.
2001-2005: Early commercial success
She performed a duo with Stomy Bugsy in 2001 under the title "Aucun Dieu ne pourra me pardonner" (No God Will Ever Forgive Me). The single "J'ai confiance en toi" (I Trust You), released in February 2001, became the first single that charted in the French Singles Chart, peaked at #38 in France and stayed in the chart for 13 weeks. The second single slated from the album did perform better than the first one. "Chaque fois" (Every Time) was released in August 2001 and peaked at #27 in the French Top 100 Singles, remaining in the chart for 18 weeks, five more than the first single. After the success of both singles, Nâdiya recorded a full studio album that became "Changer les choses" (Changing the Things). Though the singles became reasonable hits, the album wasn't very popular in France, not charting at all in the French Top 200 Albums. She was nominated for the Victoires de la musique in 2002.
Nâdiya (album)
Nâdiya is the third studio album from French R&B singer Nâdiya. The album was released on June 5, 2006 in France. Also, a DVD with a runtime of 26 minutes was released with it containing interviews and a "The Making of The Album" documentary.
Album information
The lead single from the album, "Tous ces mots" ("All These Words"), peaked at number 2 in the French singles chart. The song was released in February 2006 and features Smartzee, who is also featured in her 2004 single "Et c'est parti..." ("Here We Go"). The second single, "Roc" ("Rock"), was released on June 19 in France, also entering and peaking the French Singles Top 100 at number 2 and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. It became her longest running single in the top ten, being 11 weeks in the top 10 (as well as in the top 5). "Amies-ennemies" was chosen to be the third single from the album and debuted at number four in France. The singles were less successful in Switzerland, where they all were released too. They all managed to peak within the top 40, but none of them charted in the top 20.

Emm-moi
by: NadiyaIl est...Au fond de moi je sais bien
je serai du voyage
La nuit tombe enfin,je sais son
approche inexorable
En un cycle immortel le temps
distille ses grains de sable
Il est tapi dans mes pensées
et mes songes
Éveille en moi tant de pulsions
si étranges
Les éléments se déchaînent
Comme pour annoncer le diable
Et pourtant j'attends sans trembler
L'issue de cette fable
Il est celui qui fût maudit
de tout âge
Celui dont on ne voit qu'une fois
le visage
Refrain:
Emmène-moi...
Je me sens si seule ici-bas
Emmène-moi...
Du moment que c'est dans tes bras
Emmène-moi...
Consentant à ton emprise,
J'abandonne cette vie qui ignore tout
de tes lois
Emmène-moi...
Du moment que c'est dans tes bras
Emmène-moi...
Consentant à ton emprise,
Je me veux ta promise de par ta morsure exquise
Lentement l'obscurité vient à bout des candélabres
En complice éternelle des tragédies les plus macabres
Il est fusion de volupté et de rage
Éveille en moi mes instincts les plus sauvages
Des cris inhumains se répandent par-delà les arbres
Annonçant sa venue certaine en ces entrailles de marbre
Il est le prédateur versé au carnage
Je sais que cette fois je serai du voyage
Refrain
Il est... Au fond de moi je sais bien je serai du voyage
Il est tapi dans mes pensées et mes songes
Il est celui qui fût maudit de tout âge
Il est fusion de volupté et de rage
Au fond de moi je sais bien je serai du voyage
Juste une seconde,et tu es tout contre moi
Que la lune blonde en témoigne je veux être ta proie... Emmène-moi
Ma vie n'a de sens que si tu partages ses sillages
