[English]

Ah, jerk, jerk, he hurt you

He's ruthless like Pablo (tchiki)

But today we're not letting it slide

(Let's go)

(Don't tempt me, huh)

(I said "don't tempt me", huh)

It's Babi, the champion

(You're about to find out)

Tayc de Taykee

(Chibagnar)

You forgot him

In Paris, you're showing off (showing off, showing off, let's go)

Forgot him, dja-lé-lé-lé

You gave everything for a jerk, everything for a jerk

Oh, already, already (let's go)

Ah, jerk, jerk (jerk), he hurt you

He's ruthless like Pablo (let's go)

But today we're not letting it slide (kolosso)

Ah, jerk (jerk), jerk, he hurt you (souba)

He's ruthless like Pablo

But today we're not letting it slide (kolosso, let's go)

Kamerlife, the whole neighborhood (huh, huh, huh)

Parson, Marshall (huh, huh, huh)

Randy, Mboa Paris (huh, huh, huh)

Rigobert Song (huh, huh, huh)

Manu Dibango, rest in peace, my father (huh, huh, huh)

(Let's go)

At night, it's night, all cats are grey (come on tcheba)

That bastard, he told you about a date

He lied and you fell for it all, my dear, you went too far

He made a fool of you, oh (huh-huh), without even paying the dowry, oh

Arhh my dear, hey

You've got your pants on, you're standing tall, why are we the ones feeling the pressure?

You were asking for pocket money

My dear, is he your father? (Is he your papa?)

Who do you think you're preaching to? (Who?)

We shouted your name in all the local bars (hold on)

Who do you think you're hurting? (Who exactly?)

The in-laws are Cameroonian

Heartbreak, the bill, the mess, the ship has sunk (heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak)

You wanted to expose your life like that, all over social media (tcheba)

The uncles talked to you, but you didn't understand (ekié ma'a)

And the mothers talked to you, but you didn't understand (what are you saying?)

But champion, it's Bayo talking to you, I said you must forget him (mah, mah, mah)

You forgot him (General Djo)

In Paris, you're showing off (showing off, showing off, let's go)

Forgot him, dja-lé-lé-lé

You gave everything for a jerk (everything for a jerk)

Everything for a jerk (everything for a jerk)

Oh, already, already

Ah, jerk, jerk (jerk), he hurt you

He's ruthless like Pablo

But today we're not letting it slide (we're not letting it slide)

Ah, jerk, jerk, he hurt you

He's ruthless like Pablo

But today we're not letting it slide

Muriel Blanche, Coco Emilia (huh, huh, huh)

Lady Ponce (we're gonna grind, grind, grind)

Aurélien Tchouaméni

Francis Ngannou (huh, huh, huh)

Cédric Doumbé

Samuel Eto'o (huh, huh, huh)

Now is the time we dance

(Huh, huh, huh)

The guitarist is a bastard, tchiki, hey (huh, huh, huh)

The bassist too, he's a bastard, tchiki, let's go, what do you say?

The choreographer is a bastard (huh, huh, huh)

Everyone is a bastard (huh, huh, huh)

(I said, now is the time we dance)

Who's going to pay the bill? Hmm, who's going to pay the bill?

Hmm, the asshole is going to pay the bill

Hmm, my dear, look at the bill (Cameroon)

The bill, hmm, the bill (Douala)

Ko-tala, look at the bill (what's up?)

Tala-ko-tala look at the bill (babi)

You and me, it's the final bill, hmm

...
