I've got a “sea” of energy and a black BMW

I can't find peace because I don't have a girlfriend

I put on two gold chains and a Cartier watch

For the chosen one (girlfriend), whoever it might be

Everyone knows that I have a special charm

I had many women but I'll always be alone

My (favorite) group's CD is hanging on the mirror

Because I always gave it my full love

 

Chorus 

Raise your hands, rhythm in your legs

A big party tonight, (I'm) free and happy

Yallah hands, it's better to dance with a partner

A big love tonight, I am singing tonight

 

A year ago I met a girl on Shenkin (street)

She had many reason not to have me

I put gel on my ponytail and a ring in my eyebrow

I thought that nevertheless I had found love

But she saw in me a mediocre man

That his character is not “Northern” some kind of a local Al Pacino

Quickly I realized that my way is the correct one

I removed the gold chains and returned to the neighborhood

 

Chorus 
Raise your hands, rhythm in your legs

A big party tonight, (I'm) free and happy

Yallah hands, it's better to dance with a partner

A big love tonight, I am singing tonight

So you want a “Northern” beat

A ring in an eyebrow does it to you

All day long you talk about positive energy

Walla, I afraid to touch you I might get electrocuted

I tried to do everything for you

I threw away the gold chains, I wore purple

I left you and returned to the neighborhood

Hey, look here, what a beat, what a tune, ya allah,

 

Chorus 

Raise your hands, rhythm in your legs

A big party tonight, (I'm) free and happy

Yallah hands, it's better to dance with a partner

A big love tonight, I am singing tonight
