Ghetto Roses Lyrics Translation – Hybrid Soundtrack
Ala Ferchichi writes about street life with sharp detail. The songwriter offers, ‘They stand tall like mountains in the middle of the wind.’ He uses images like Range Rovers and Rolexes to show success. He also mentions CDs and albums as credentials.
Mahdi machfar on the beatMahdi Machfar is on the beat.
Fast w ched triqiI’m fast and I’m holding my path.
Range w mwahal biggieI’ve got a Range Rover and I’m living large like Biggie.
Cashi w roly f idiI’ve got cash and a Rolex on my hand.
F rasi l khwet wel cityMy brothers and the city are on my mind.

Albums aandi cv sMy albums are my credentials.
Sahbi motherf#ck l systemeMy friend, f#ck the system.
W free lashab w jiggyAnd freedom for my friends and for Jiggy.
Jelou kima jbel li wekfin f west rihThey stand tall like mountains in the middle of the wind.
Nhebou khedma hlel mchet snin taht l hitWe want ‘halal’ (honest) work after years of being sidelined.
Habou l chikha sahbi hedha triq mouch shihThey wanted the high life, my friend, but this isn’t the right path.
Baba qali l cheraa kolo thin temchich tihMy father told me the street is full of low-lives, so don’t you fall.
