New York, New York [English translation]

This is something new.

I just now got the idea.

I want to go and conquer

New York, New York.

To make a grand spectacle from head to toe,

I put gold in my glitter,

New York, New York.

I picture myself the queen of this temple of music.

All the kings of the city are in my audience.

One hundred thousand bravos

colliding from all sides.

It's you who applaud in my head,

New York New York

And if I knew how to please you

I would conquer the earth.

If only I would please New York, New York.

New York, New York.

I picture myself the queen of this temple of music.

And all the kings of the city, all of my audience—

theater on Broadway under electric lights.

One hundred thousand bravos

(One hundred thousand bravos)

colliding from all sides

(colliding from all sides)

It's you who applaud in my head, my old New York.

And if I knew how to please you, I would conquer the earth.

If only I would please New York, New York.
