لأجاريهم قلدت ظاهر ما فيهم
To keep up with them, I imitated their appearance.
فبدوت شخصا آخر؛ كي أتفاخر
So I became someone else; to boast and to shine.
وظننت أنا أني بذلك حزت غنى
And I thought I had acquired wealth by doing so.
فوجدت إني خاسر؛ فتلك مظاهر
Only to find that I was the loser; for those are mere appearances.
لا، لا، لا نحتاج المال كي نزداد جمالا
No, no, no, we don’t need money to enhance our beauty.
جوهرنا هنا في القلب تلالا
Our essence shines brightly here in the heart.
لا، لا نرضي الناس بما لا نرضاه لنا حالا
No, we won’t please others with what we don’t wish for ourselves.
ذاك جمالنا يسمو يتعالى
That’s our beauty, rising and soaring.
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
كن أنت تزداد جمالا
Be you, growing more beautiful
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
كن أنت تزداد جمالا
Be you, growing more beautiful
أتقبلهم الناس لست أقلدهم
I accept them, I do not imitate them
إلا بما يرضيني؛ كي أرضيني
Except in ways that please me; to satisfy myself
سأكون أنا مثلي تماما، هذا أنا
I will be exactly like myself, this is me
فقناعتي تكفيني، ذاك يقيني
For my conviction is enough for me, that is my security
لا، لا، لا نحتاج المال كي نزداد جمالا
No, no, we don't need money to become more beautiful
جوهرنا هنا في القلب تلالا
Our essence here sparkles in the heart
لا، لا نرضي الناس بما لا نرضاه لنا حالا
No, we don't satisfy others with what we don't accept for ourselves
ذاك جمالنا يسمو يتعالى
That is our beauty, it rises and ascends
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
كن أنت تزداد جمالا
Be yourself and you'll grow more beautiful
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
سأكون أنا (سأكون أنا) من أرضى أنا (من أرضى أنا)
I will be myself (I will be myself) as I please (as I please)
لن أسعى لا لرضاهم (لرضاهم)
I won't strive for their approval (for their approval)
وأكون أنا (وأكون أنا) ما أهوى أنا (ما أهوى أنا)
And I will be who I desire (and I will be who I desire)
ما لي ومال رضاهم (رضاهم)
What do I have to do with their satisfaction (their satisfaction)
سأكون أنا (سأكون أنا)
I will be myself (I will be myself)
من أرضى أنا (من أرضى أنا)
As I please (as I please)
لن أسعى لا لرضاهم
I won't strive for their approval
وأكون أنا ما أهوى أنا
And I will be who I desire
لن أرضى أنا برضاهم
I won't be satisfied by their approval
لا، لا، لا نحتاج المال كي نزداد جمالا
No, no, we don't need money to become more beautiful.
جوهرنا هنا في القلب تلالا
Our essence shines here in the heart.
لا، لا نرضي الناس بما لا نرضاه لنا حالا
No, we won't please others with what we wouldn't want for ourselves instantly.
ذاك جمالنا يسمو يتعالى
That's our beauty, it rises and transcends.
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
كن أنت تزداد جمالا
Be yourself and you will become more beautiful.
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh
كن أنت تزداد جمالا
Be yourself and grow more beautiful
