Kafini Lyrics (English Translation) – TIF, ElGrandeToto
🎤 [Verse 1: TIF]
I have green on my passport,
I don’t think we’re made the same.
When the radar was watching for money,
I only had my hunger, it was the guide.
I make exported stuff,
I don’t run anymore for a salary.
One hand screw six, nachave,
I mustn’t hang around.
I only wanted cash,
but there’s fame in the packaging.
I’m still the same,
but stronger,
it brings in money,
it makes you poorer.
There are always two or three ba*tards,
but that’s normal,
it’s the Makatib.
Money, you spend,
feelings, you lock up,
I have what you lack,
I’m your antidote.
You’re never screwed badly,
even if my heart bleeds.
I didn’t say one word,
but you’ll know,
some silences have aura.
Two or three kilometers,
some of them are dead,
hard not to get lost.
He put all his hatred into the bum-al,
there I’m not necessarily in the right place,
but—
🎶 [Chorus: ElGrandeToto & TIF]
Gros,
the artist’s life isn’t so bad, actually,
if you’re not so bad.
Goodbye green buildings,
I already know what to do,
you have to see the life we lead,
you have to see the life we lead.
Not so easy,
already kafini li fiya,
already kafini li fiya.
Tfatel jemra bla matzidili kiya,
already kafini li fiya.
🎤 [Verse 2: ElGrandeToto]
It’s already been nine years,
w 7na kan tiro andale bingo ndiro.
Several cities,
several departments.
Zena b M’zzika w Melo
Hna kayrebbiwna mawatna nti3ou,
Lwalida walid w it’s good.
I’m not your friend,
wakha chetni f the aperitif.
There’s no sa7bi,
there’s no brother.
Machi nta li atgoulina ch’ghan dirou
Machi nta li tgoulina bch7al the Hero’
Machi nta li tgoulina bch7al nbi3oh
Sauvatna visa, mouka w my languages
Koun ma rap koun rah kandi3o
Koun rah chaddine zan9a f lbayda nbi3o
Your sofitel kayfekkerni m3ak f oumsiate
Bre-som towards the end
wakha bdit novelist
🎶 [Chorus: ElGrandeToto & TIF]
Fat,
The artist’s life isn’t so bad, actually,
if you’re not so bad.
Goodbye green buildings,
I already know what to do.
You have to see the life we lead.
You have to see the life we lead.
Not so easy,
already kafini li fiya,
already kafini li fiya.
Tfatel jemra bla matzidili kiya,
already kafini li fiya.
🔚 [Outro: ElGrandeToto & TIF]
Not so easy,
already kafini li fiya,
already kafini li fiya.
Tfatel jemra bla matzidili kiya,
already kafini li fiya.
