Translation: Bidii Yangu - Jua Cali

"Bidii Yangu" from the album "JuacaliSekta" (Original Lyrics)

By Jua Cali

California good things we are moving forward
There is no sorrow, here its joy in abundance
For those who have forgotten, my music is still gangsta
For those who disrespect us, please do not make me laugh
I’m not going to lie to you my people, I’m back at the studio today and I feel good
And I know you love to hear my voice, so I’ll continue to release only good music
Why are you sitting back, get up and dance
Why wipe yourself, let the sweat drip everywhere
Even during drought, we refresh ourselves with cold water
This time round Clemo has told me to hit you with two tracks
Ah morale, morale, let it move you
And raise yourselves high like a flag and sing this song like the national anthem

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from

I’ve let too many people eat, this time round let me also get fat
I could have hurried on my journey but I have decided to go slow
Don’t think I’m tired, I have the strength of oxen you see on the street
I won’t get tired of looking for leaves
I won’t get tired of moving forward with this journey
Let my legs walk
Let all great artists be honored
In life and in everything they do
With effort you will get to where you want to go
Even when I reach one hundred years old, I will not stop making my music
I am awake, my man, and I don’t see myself sleeping again
Set your mattress aside, let’s get to work
Put your stress aside and things will be OK
Morale, morale, my people look good
Morale, people spread yourselves around
And raise yourselves high like a flag and sing this song like a national anthem

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from
My effort has forced many people to jump
I’m still giving you honey, with sugar added so the sweetness is not reduced
If I succeed, I’ll do what my heart wants
I won’t disappear again, even if I see others hating
Pilipili, what’s up? Why don’t you come help me get their attention?
But I don’t know what will happen if we enchant them too much
I don’t know how they will help themselves if we hammer them too much
We will teach them to give the hammer a rest and still be able to flex the hands well
To go to the gym, expand their chest a bit and breathe properly

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from

I just want your respect
I just want your happiness
So that you know where my effort comes from
