[English]

Baby, I've given you everything, others envy me

I told you, it's like television

It's like a dream now

I've worked tirelessly, without rest since childhood

Because Allah destined this crown for me

To make me shine

To make me stand tall with honor, to make me shine

I'm telling you now

Haaa, I'm telling you now

When I wake up, I'm already sweating, breathing fire

My name's on every broadcast, they'll bow before me

My enemies are trembling, with their tails between their legs

Breathing fire

My enemies are trembling, with their tails between their legs

I'll climb higher than them

They'll see the fire

My rivals are secretly scheming

My joy is immense, I've never known peace

In the neighborhood, women and men

Will see my glory

People will say: "That man's head is hot"

People will say: "That man's blood boils"

It's decided

May they envy you, may they bow before your crown

My queen baby, I belong only to you

I'll never betray you, never

We're progressing little by little

Stay vigilant

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on

Life goes on, life goes on, I swear by Allah's will

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

My queen baby, I belong only to you

I'll never betray you, never

We're progressing little by little

Stay vigilant

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on

Life goes on, life goes on, I swear by Allah's will

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

We're progressing little by little, stay vigilant

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

They'll see my throne, I swear by Allah's will

Yes, stay alert

They'll see my glory
