Lyrics:

I know that Street Belleville, 
Nothing is done for me, 
But I am in a beautiful city: 
It's something. 
So far my antelopes, 
I walk softly. 
Walking in a European city, 
It's something. 

Oh, oh, oh, and I dream 
As Sudan, my country suddenly rises ... 
Oh, oh, 
Dream, that's something, that's something. 

There's a green plastic bag 
At the end of my arm. 
My green bag, there is air: 
It's something. 
When I dance walking 
In these djellaba, 
It's smiling passers 
It's something. 

Oh, oh, oh, and I dream 
As Sudan, my country suddenly rises ... 
Oh, oh, 
Dream, that's something, that's something, 
That's something, something. 

Already ... 

To want beautiful music, 
Sudan, Sudan I, 
For a democratic air, 
It t'casse teeth. 
To want the world spoke 
Sudan, Sudan I, 
One of the words exchanged, 
It t'casse teeth. 

Oh, oh, oh, and I dream 
As Sudan, my country suddenly rises ... 
Oh, oh, 
Dream, that's something, that's something. 

I'm sitting in Belleville Street 
In the midst of a crowd, 
And then, over time, hemophilia, 
Flows. 

Oh, oh, oh, and I dream 
As Sudan, my country suddenly rises ... 
Oh, oh, 
Dream, that's something, that's something. 
Oh, oh, oh, and I dream 
Suddenly, my country, Sudan raises ... 
Oh, oh, 
Dream, that's something, that's something. 

This is ... die ... ja ... this.
