/// Lyrics in English ///

*What's up Ismaen, what's up Ismaen? 
What's up Ismaen, what's up Ismaen? 

Have you found a job or not yet?
Did you marry Faty or still planning to?
Did your suspicions stop or did they did awaken?
Is your head full or empty? *full of anxious thoughts maybe*
Is the glass full or is it empty? *glass of beer/wine maybe, or glass as in Being optimistic or pessimistic*
Keeping your spirits up or down?

Is the joint off or lighted up ?*yep hash babies it's Morocco y'all*
Did you grow a bit or no?
Are you still wondering in the streets?
And the streets are still trash *maybe literally, or as in the people he meets are trash* 

Are you still addicted to folkloric street shows?
And where are the showmen?
And where are the experts?
Have you found the answers or are you still tired and lost without them?
Has human value gone down or up?
Could they see him in the moon or did they realize the hoax *referring to a popular urban legend that people could see an old king in the moon*

You're still living love only by relating to tv shows actors, the source of your information is from taxi *referring to by word of mouth unreliable information*
Did you finally realize that those who have no solid understanding of the situation going on protests are quite dangerous
You're still living love only by relating to tv shows actors, the source of your information is from taxi 

You're a girl, a boy, the elderly and the youth, the tall and the short, the skinny and the chubby, the fool and the wise *referring that all of the above could apply to all of us*
What's up Ismaen? What's up Ismaen? 

Are you still trying to understand the others or have you made up your mind to live as a lone wolf?
Do you still wanna contemplate this world or did you forget about it?
Keep it between us, in this stagnant water, the seaweed are proliferating
Is everything okay? Are you all right? the seaweed are  creating buzz 

What's up Ismaen, what's up Ismaen? 
What's up Ismaen, what's up Ismaen? 

Are you still curious about everything?
Or did they convince you that curiosity killed the cat?
Are you still flowing with this show?
Or did they con you and you came back crumbling
Was it the egg first or the chicken?
Do you still face the storm with your back?

Are you still dancing in parties or do you think now that having fun is forbidden
Those who were sitting are about to leave, or is everyone just staying and that's it *might refer to the huge vague of immigration moroccan youth *
Are you still dancing in parties or do you think now that having fun is forbidden
You're the atheist and the priest, the light and the darkness, the void and crowdedness, the belt and the buckle, large and slim
What's up ..
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive? 
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
Still alive?
