Nougayork [English translation]

As soon as the air terminal

I felt the shock

A barbarian blast

A hard-rock turmoil

As soon as the air terminal

I shifted eras

Come on! It begins

On the starting-blocks

Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!

This is hefty stuff

This is not by Ronsard

This is Yankee stuff

Will there be a brawl?

OK I'm ad hoc

I'll have the big cigar

Fenders, golden ones

As soon as the air terminal

I felt the shock

You've gotta enter double-quick

In the coke line

A new start

Solid as a rock

A rain of dollars

Here is Nougayork

Here a superstar

I'm all keyed up

This is child's play

This is soft-boiled egg

Unless a rascal

On the corner of a block

And without warning

Cuts my bacon

York ham style
