Ali Baba Lyrics in English by Oxmo Puccino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ali Baba by Oxmo Puccino from French to English.
Ali (Ali Baba)
Ali (Ali Baba)
Ali (Ali Baba)
Ali (Ali Baba)
Ali Baba, Ali Baba
Ali Baba, Ali Baba
Tu rêves d'elle dans ton lit
You dream of her in your bed
Tu manques de raccourci
You're missing a shortcut
On s'demande tu vas faire quoi
We wonder what you're going to do
Tu fais pas l'poids , elle c'est du 7 étoiles
You're not up to it, she's 7-star
Puis t'as eu son numéro, devenu son Caliméro
Then you got her number, became her Calimero
Mais oui t'a gagné au loto
But yes, you won the lottery
Et comme par hasard perdu le Mojo
And as luck would have it, lost your Mojo
Le désir est déloyal
Desire is disloyal
Je regarde mais ne reste pas
I look but don't stay
C'est comme un buffet royal
It's like a royal buffet
Avec un seul estomac
With only one stomach
Une caverne, mille trésors
A cave, a thousand treasures
Et seulement deux bras
And only two arms
Une seule vie pour tout faire
Only one life to do everything
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali
Ali
Son cœur était fermé (fermé)
Her heart was closed (closed)
Tu voulais être aimé (aimé)
You wanted to be loved (loved)
Tu lui a tout donné (donné)
You gave her everything (gave)
On t'avait rien d'mandé
Nobody asked you for anything
Personne te l'a volée
Nobody stole her from you
En vrai y avait pas de plan B (plan B)
Actually there was no plan B (plan B)
Le seul alibi-bi-bi, t'étais son Ali Baba
The only alibi-bi-bi, you were her Ali Baba
Une caverne, mille trésors
A cave, a thousand treasures
Et seulement deux bras
And only two arms
Une seule vie pour tout faire
Only one life to do everything
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali
Ali
Ali Baba car à chaque étage tu gaspilles ce qu'on t'a donné
Ali Baba because on each floor you waste what you've been given
T'es du genre à la pizzeria à demander le riz cantonais
You're the type to ask for Cantonese rice at the pizzeria
Le voyage va te surprendre, à quoi bon dix valises
The journey will surprise you, what's the point of ten suitcases
Le temps de comprendre que tout ça est inutile
The time to realize that all that is useless
Une caverne, mille trésors
A cave, a thousand treasures
Et seulement deux bras
And only two arms
Une seule vie pour tout faire
Only one life to do everything
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba
Ali Baba (une seule vie pour tout faire)
Ali Baba (only one life to do everything)

Caliméro — Calimero (a cartoon character)
Caliméro refers to Calimero, a famous Italian cartoon character who is a small, black chick with a half eggshell on his head. He is known for his catchphrase, "It's an injustice!"
In the song, the lyrics state, "Puis t'as eu son numéro, devenu son Caliméro" (Then you got her number, became her Calimero). This implies that the protagonist, Ali Baba, became overly attached, perhaps whiny or constantly complaining about his perceived misfortunes in love, much like the perpetually unlucky Calimero.
