1ère fois [English translation]

[Verse 1: Imen Es]

Kassim, what I’m about to say is going to hurt you

Are you ready for it?

Like I’ve been doing all this time

I admit that mama was aware of it

We’ve been together for three years

I can’t forgive myself for hiding this from you

I thought I had found a perfect man

Until he started laying hands on me

I’ve got bruises all over, covered by clothes

Whether I say yes or no, mister attacks me

Humiliated, I lost confidence in myself, I suffered

Withdrawing to myself, I lost friends

Kassim, I love him, I thought he was going to change

Forgive me, brother, I put myself in danger

And now that I’ve told you everything, what are you going to do?

[Refrain: Imen Es & Alonzo]

This is not the first time he’s doing that

I know you, I was afraid to tell you about it

Who laid their hands on you? Tell me, tell me

On my life, I’ll be jailed for years

I know that he maltreats me but I love him

After all, I’m at the end of my rope

I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him

I don’t care, where is he?

[Verse 2: Alonzo]

Imen, sister, how could you hide such a thing from me?

My hands are getting sweaty and my heart is racing

I don’t know which point to start from but between him and me, one of us is going to die

Tonight, on my life, I’m going to follow him and I’m going alone

You already know me, I’m not going to file a report at the police station

You may have loved this scum, but he’s dishonored a whole family

Since we lost our father, I’ve felt the need to protect you

I do business in the hood and I’ve always been proud of it

Imen, a woman is a queen, Imen, a woman is like gold

She robbed you of your dignity, I’ll find him before daybreak

Because he’s not a real man, and it’s too late to say anything

This will be his last, even if you tell me that

[Refrain: Imen Es & Alonzo]

This is not the first time he’s doing that

I know you, I was afraid to tell you about it

Who laid their hands on you? Tell me, tell me

On my life, I’ll be jailed for years

I know that he maltreats me but I love him

After all, I’m at the end of my rope

I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him

I don’t care, where is he?

I know that he maltreats me but I love him

After all, I’m at the end of my rope

I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him

I don’t care, where is he?
