[English]

We are the new kids on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

New kid on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

We are the new kids on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

New kid on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

We're all dressed like back in the Michael Jordan days

So retro that we have streaming on the walkman

We're in the future without Marty McFly's car

Contagious like Batman's pet

It's the zone, it's the zone

We're everywhere in the world

In the speech, in the fashion

Do like us and you'll be popular

Yes, it's the zone, it's the zone

We're everywhere on the airwaves

Do like us and you'll be popular

Join us if you agree

Come on, get up, come on, get up

In the ship, there's a crowd

It's taking off, it's taking off

To make the world shake

Come on, get up, come on, get up

If you want to be one of us

We're taking off, we're taking off

Go ahead, make the ground shake, come on

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, come on

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh make the ground shake, come on

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, come on

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

We are the new kids on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

New kid on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

We are the new kids on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

New kid on the block, new kid, new kid on the block

We create and break trends

We set our dance moves

Change the language from the United States to France

Influence the networks, tailors, and radios

Modernize the world with its craziness and codes

Yes, it's the zone, it's the zone

We're everywhere in the world

In the speech, in the fashion

Do like us and you'll be popular

Yes, it's the zone, it's the zone

We're everywhere on the airwaves

Do like us and you'll be popular

Join us if you agree

Come on, get up, come on, get up

In the ship, there's a crowd

It's taking off, it's taking off

To make the world shake

Come on, get up, come on, get up

If you want to be one of us

We're taking off, we're taking off

Go ahead, make the ground shake, come on

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, come on

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh make the ground shake, come on

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, come on

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh (let's do the music)

Eh oh (ahou)

Let everyone know, the new kids are on the block (block)
