Alger Roi [English translation]

[Intro]

Delta, Zulu

King, Queen of Algiers

Algiers belongs to the revolutionaries

[Verse 1]

I wear fennec trackie,

As well as Castro, FIdel

Houari Boumediene Airport

I pass the gates like Bouteflika,

Kiss the badge,

We exhaust the supply of flags,

We "chtah" if you make sound,

But celebrate the goals in prostration,

Selfie in front of the Martyr's Monument,

We believed in the Empire State during Eid,

So try to ask there, where is Charlie?

The only motto that is seen is #FreeLacrim

From November to April, find me round the Notre-Dame d'Afrique,

In the heart of my city or aboard Algérie Ferries.

[Chorus]

Christians have the Vatican,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Mecca is for the Muslims,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Jews have the 10 commandments,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Seine-St Denis has its buildings,

The revolutionaries have Algiers.

[Verse 2]

Shake, shake, shake Shakespeare,

Nah, I'm Che, Che, Che Guevera,

Like a Chechen from Chelsea,

That listens to Césaria Évora,

Started from the bottom,

I'm of the same faith as the mayor of London,

I destroy you in the debate like Mohammed Marwan,

Also true that Ménard was born in Oran,

I kicked it on Khaled's Didi,

Long before the arrival of the hour, that's DJ Khaled,

You discovered T-Pain's autotune,

But the copyright, it is Cheb Bilal's raï

Bro,

I am the will.i.am of the wilaya,

Call me the Jay-Z of Zlabia (jalebi)

Even if my girl comes from Asia,

I sing for the Maghreb fighters,

[Chorus]

Christians have the Vatican,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Mecca is for the Muslims,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Jews have the 10 commandments,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Seine-St Denis has its buildings,

The revolutionaries have Algiers.

[Verse 3]

I raise my words, not my voice,

It's rain that makes the flowers glow, not the thunder,

In my gang of French-Algerians,

No one chooses between their father or mother,

I have all the assets of an Algerian: raised with gazouz and cornes de gazelles,

I breathe the steam of my village, to stick myself to it like a pulmonary artery.

[Chorus]

Christians have the Vatican,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Mecca is for the Muslims,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Jews have the 10 commandments,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Seine-St Denis has its buildings,

The revolutionaries have Algiers.

[Outro]

Amílcar Cabral,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Malik Shabazz,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Frantz Fanon,

The revolutionaries have Algiers,

Jacques Vergès

The revolutionaries have Algiers.
