Don't Panik [English translation]

Médine

Don't Panik !

Muslim I am everyday

Listen to my chronicle of a crumbled Republic

Boul'éhia* by your beard, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your veil, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Proletarian by your class, tell them "Don't Panik !"

African by your skin, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your faith, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Foolishly, the world is full of stubborness

The headlines of the press are looking gloomy

But ! My verses are coming to make them keep quiet

I'm a religious with a sense of entertainment

No anthrax in my chronoposts

To believe !

Is to compare moto turds with moto cross

My dynamism is a dynamit stick

Scaring the housewife and the dynamic young leader

Don't panik !

I'm coming to express our intentions

We're not inciting our sisters to be the candidates of excision

We too wish to emancipate the woman,

But we'll not fix the problem by relooking Afghan women

Equal work for unequal payslip

It's not a Muslim philosophy

What a tragedy ! Because quiet are their marches

To respect our sisters we'll not wait the 8th March,

No ! Hypocrisy of a patriarchal society

Which transforms injustice into patriot act

Libertine, Secularism and Liberty killer

Which rape our civil rights without a condom

Boul'éhia by your beard, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your veil, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Proletarian by your class, tell them "Don't Panik !"

African by your skin, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your faith, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Foolishly, the world is full of stubborness

The headlines of the press are looking gloomy

But ! My verses are coming to make them keep quiet

I'm a religious with a sense of entertainment

Work is running away from us like Richard Kimble,

Failed, even with a bankable curriculum

Stupid, who only hangs out with a gang like in Gaza*

and who could have affinities with Abou Hamza:

Who have one feet among manifestations, one feet among hooligans,

One feet among athletes, one feet among dealers

One feet among mosquees, one feet among gang rape,

One feet among a mess, one feet among torment

One feet under the minibar, the other on the minibar

One feet among barbarians, the other among the bearded

One feet among a hold-up, one feet among a fight

One feet at custody, the other towards the Kaaba,

One feet among neutral people, the other among nutcases

One feet among imams, the other among the Zidanes

One feet among all the Arabs, the other among Tziganes

It's just what France thinks of us

From 76 to 92* towelhead

Of their insults if I wrote a list

I would have enough to avenge myself like Mesrine against journalists

Boul'éhia by your beard, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your veil, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Proletarian by your class, tell them "Don't Panik !"

African by your skin, tell them "Don't Panik !"

Muslim by your faith, tell them "Don't Panik !"

My slogan, my motto, it's "Don't Panik !"

Don't panik, here's my slogan

Take out the armours and slip on the gloves,

Everyday at the centre of the target,

It's everyday that I'm Muslim !

Everyday I'm Muslim !
