Lyrics & Translation

[English]

...

Ow!

What is this?

So help me.

I'll sue whoever runs this well.

A lamp.

Well.

It might be worth a few shekels once it's cleaned up.

THIEF: It would be of little use for you, Abis Mal,

except to light your way in the Valley of the Dead.

It is bewitched!

[JAFAR LAUGHING]

I am free.

Free to exact vengeance upon he who has imprisoned me.

...

It is the curse of the lamp.

All the power in the universe and I

am bound by the rules of The Genie.

Which means I can't kill that upstart Aladdin unless I

have someone arrange it for me.

Take me to Agrabah at once.

...

I suppose I am a bit too much for his limited mind.

...

I trust you'll find me a little less overwhelming now.

You're a genie?

You are astonishingly perceptive.

...

If you're a genie, then don't I get wishes?

Yes, three wishes.

That is a minor formality.

But first, I must go to Agrabah.

You will take the lamp there for me.

Then you need me.

I'll take you to Agrabah.

But first I want my wishes.

...

Why, you!

...

You shall have your wishes.

I shall?

I mean, of course I shall.

Oh, I want riches, treasure.

Let's see, I know, I wish for the legendary sunken treasure

ship of Coeur de Mer!

Your wish is my command.

...

Poor, sweet baby.

Aren't we enjoying our wish?

Perhaps you wish me to return you to the desert?

Very well.

...

That was two wishes.

Take your time with the third or you will

wish you had never been born.

On the other hand, if you cooperate with me,

I will see that you are amply rewarded.

Rewarded?

First, you will help me get revenge on a certain street rat

by the name of Aladdin.

...

Aladdin?

I want revenge on him too.

He robbed me, turned my men against me and he fought dirty.

My brilliant swordsmanship availed me naught.

I hate when I do that.

Let's not be too hasty, my simple-minded friend.

It's not enough that we simply destroy Aladdin.

After all, there are things so much worse than death.
