I went to New York ’cause a man in a suit told me, “You’re gonna be a star”
– Mi a Bai New York pasobra un hòmber den kosto a bisa mi: “Bo ta bai ta un strea”.
I said, “Yeah, I know,” but it came out like, “What, who, me?”
– Mi a bisa: “Si, mi sa”, pero el a sali manera: “Kiko, ken, mi?”
I took a walk on the beach, ’cause the guy doesn’t like me back
– Mi a bai un biahada riba playa, pasobra e mucha no tabata gusta di nobo
Even though I’m gonna be a star, guess I don’t have it, guess I don’t have it after all
– Aunke mi ta bai bira un strea, mi ta kere ku mi no tin un strea, mi ta kere ku mi no tin un strea despues di tur kos
But it’s okay, ’cause my life is so exciting
– Pero ta bon, pasobra mi bida ta asina emocionante
Every night is like a party, ’cause I bit the bullet
– Tur anochi ta manera un fiesta, pasobra mi a morde e bala
I’m finally watching Friends
– Finalmente mi Ta mira Amigunan
“What took me so long?”
– “Kiko a tuma mi asina tantu tempu?”
I say to no one, ’cause I’m alone all the time
– Mi no ta bisa niun hende, pasobra mi ta mi so tur ora
But now I’m never lonely, not since I met Joey
– Pero awor mi no ta mi so, no for Di Ora Mi a topa Joey
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn’t hold me
– Pero Ora Mi stòp e lusnan, Joey no ta brasa mi
And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
– I den mi momentu mas skur, mi ta puntra mi mes si mi a konos’é den un bar.
If he’d seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only
– Si e tabata mira mi, un strea perfekto, e lo a hiba mi kas pa e motibu ei so.
‘Cause why else would you want me?
– Pasobra pakiko bo lo stima mi mas?
I think I’ve got a fucked up face
– Mi ta kere ku mi tin mi kara kibra
And that thought used to haunt me
– I e pensamentu ei tabata tormentá mi
‘Til it fell in its sweet embrace
– Te ora el a kai den su brasa dushi
Now I don’t sweat the acne
– Awor mi no ta sudá akne
It’s a bitch, but it goes away
– E ta un kachó, pero e ta disparsé.
And who cares if I’m pretty?
– I ken ta preokupá si mi ta bunita?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Mi ta sinti Manera Phoebe ta
I feel like it totally works
– Mi ta sinti ku e ta funshoná kompletamente
When the blue in my skirt doesn’t work with the blue in my top
– Ora e blauw di mi skirti no ta funshoná ku e blauw di mi blusa
And if I tried to be her, it’d fall so flat, you’d feel badly
– I si e purba di ta e, e lo kai asina plat ku bo lo sinti bo malu
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
– I mayoria di e dianan aki, mi ta sinti e doló sordo
But then I say, “Stop,” and then I feel great
– Pero despues mi ta bisa, “Stop”, i despues mi ta sinti mi genial
‘Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
– Pasobra e por ta pió, mi sa, mi sa
Know it in the worst way
– Konos’é den e manera di mas pió
We rehearsed this, mm
– Nos ta purba esaki, mm
Everything’s okay
– Tur kos ta bon
‘Cause my life is so enticing
– Pasobra mi bida ta asina tentante
In the corner, eating icing
– Na e esquina, mi ta come glaseado
It’s a birthday party, these people aren’t my friends
– Ta un fiesta di aniversario, e hendenan aki no ta mi amigunan
I’m thinking “So long,” amidst their deep talk
– Mi ta pensa ” Hasta despues”, den medio di su charla profundo
‘Bout someone they didn’t invite
– Riba un persona ku nan no a invitá
But I’d rather be lonely, counted out and homely
– Pero mi ta preferá ta mi so, deskargá i kasá
I know that he’ll need me once he gets to know me
– Mi sa ku e lo tin mester di mi ora e konosé mi
Wonder when I’ll meet him
– Mi ta puntra mi mes ki dia lo mi konos’é.
Wonder if he’s sitting there at a bar and if he likes ’em avant garde
– Mi ta puntra mi mes si e ta sinta den un bar i si e ta gusta vanguardista
Just what they told me
– Ta loke nan a bisa mi

No, I’m good, thanks for asking
– No, mi ta bon, danki pa puntra.
That’d be awesome, but no worries if not
– Esey lo ta increibel, pero no preocupa si no
Best believe I can hack it
