[English]

Pow, pow, pow, pow

Yo, yo, yo, yo

The Allo is full, the On is full

After a murder, we collect the shells

Often busy, we collect the dough (dough), dough, dough, dough

It’s too late, it’s too hot for you to find us

She pulls out her gun, she wants me to add her

Like Kyky, flat-footed strike, I curl it in

I’m awake, in the turn, I embrace the curves

We’re like that, we don’t like to mix

Ready to draw when we sense danger

Speedboat from Tetouan to Tangier, high fashion

The little one is dangerous

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too

Click, click, click, click

René Caovilla, the heels, they click

Courrèges, Miu Miu, H on the bag

Kitchta from the showcase, we get in the van

In the Vi-Vi, the Vi-Vi, the Viano

I’m too wild, she says, "Baby, piano"

I start her up like the ball on the Piaggio

Armed like an Action Man, a G.I. Joe

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, armed like an Action Man, a G.I. Joe

Johanna (Johanna), Johanna

She’s beautiful, she’s stubborn, Johanna

She’s skinny and curved, Johanna

And your accounts, she’ll empty them, Johanna

She only accepts transfers, Johanna

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Joe, Johanna

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Joe, Johanna

We’re like that, we don’t like to mix

Ready to draw when we sense danger

Speedboat from Tetouan to Tangier, high fashion

The little one is dangerous

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too, my darling

Too-too-too-too, too-too-too-too

Click, click, click, click

René Caovilla, the heels, they click

Courrèges, Miu Miu, H on the bag

Kitchta from the showcase, we get in the van

In the Vi-Vi, the Vi-Vi, the Viano

I’m too wild, she says, "Baby, piano"

I start her up like the ball on the Piaggio

Armed like an Action Man, a G.I. Joe

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe

[French]

Paw, paw, paw, paw

Jo', Jo', Jo', Jo'

Le allo c'est full, le on c'est full

Après un murder, nous, on ramasse les douilles

Souvent occupé, on ramasse les ous-s (ous-s), ous-s, ous-s, ous-s

Il est trop tard, c'est chaud pour qu'tu nous trouves

Dégaines de crapule, elle veut qu'j'l'ajoute

Comme Kyky, plat du pied, la frappe, j'enroule

J'suis léwé, au virage, j'embrasse les courbes

On est comme ça, on aime pas s'mélanger

Prêt à dégainer quand on sent l'danger

Speed boat de Tétouan à Tanger, haute couture

La pеtite est dangerеuse

Teu-teu-teu-teu, teu-teu-teu-teu, ma chérie

Teu-teu-teu-teu, teu-teu-teu-teu, ma chérie

Clac, clac, clac, clac

René Caovilla, les talons, ils claquent

Du Courrèges, du Miu Miu, du H sur l'sac

Kitchta du showcase, on rentre dans l'van

Dans l'Vi-Vi, le Vi-Vi, le Viano

J'suis trop sauvage, elle m'dit "bébé, piano"

J'la démarre comme la boule sur le Piaggio

Armé comme un Action-Man, un G.I. Joe

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, armé comme un Action-Man, un G.I. Joe
