Elphie, now that we’re friends, I’ve decided to make you my new project
– Mheshimiwa naibu spika, sasa nianze kwa kukupongeza kwa mradi wangu mpya
Oh, you really don’t have to do that
– Ah, sio lazima ufanye hivyo
I know!
– Najua!
That’s what makes me so nice
– Hiyo ndiyo inanifanya niwe mzuri sana
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
– Wakati wowote ninapoona mtu asiye na bahati kuliko mimi
And let’s face it, right? Who isn’t less fortunate than I?
– Na wacha tukabiliane nayo, sivyo? Nani hana bahati kuliko mimi?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
– Moyo wangu mpole huwa unaanza kutokwa na damu
And when someone needs a makeover, I simply have to take over
– Na wakati mtu anahitaji makeover, lazima nichukue tu
I know, I know exactly what they need
– Najua, najua hasa wanachohitaji
And even in your case
– Na hata katika kesi yako
Though it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face
– Ingawa ni kesi ngumu zaidi ambayo bado sijakabiliana nayo
Don’t worry, I’m determined to succeed
– Usijali, nimeamua kufanikiwa
Follow my lead
– Fuata mwongozo wangu
And yes, indeed
– Na ndiyo, kwa kweli
You will be

Popular
– Maarufu
You’re gonna be popular
– Utakuwa maarufu
I’ll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys
– Nitakufundisha mbinu sahihi unapozungumza na wavulana
Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh!
– Njia ndogo za kutaniana na kuruka, ooh!
I’ll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair
– Nitakuonyesha ni viatu gani vya kuvaa, jinsi ya kurekebisha nywele zako
Everything that really counts to be
– Kila kitu ambacho kinahesabiwa kuwa
Popular
– Maarufu
I’ll help you be popular
– Nitakusaidia kuwa maarufu
You’ll hang with the right cohorts, you’ll be good at sports
– Utaning’inia na vikundi sahihi, utakuwa mzuri kwenye michezo
Know the slang you’ve got to know
– Jua misimu unayohitaji kujua
So let’s start ’cause you’ve got an awfully long way to go
– Kwa hivyo wacha tuanze ‘ kwa sababu una njia ndefu sana ya kwenda
Don’t be offended by my frank analysis
– Usikasirike na uchambuzi wangu wa ukweli
Think of it as personality dialysis
– Fikiria kama dialysis ya utu
Now that I’ve chosen to become a pal
– Sasa kwa kuwa nimechagua kuwa rafiki
A sister and adviser, there’s nobody wiser
– Dada na mshauri, hakuna mtu mwenye hekima zaidi
Not when it comes to
– Si linapokuja suala la
Popular
– Maarufu
I know about popular
– Najua kuhusu maarufu
And with an assist from me to be who you’ll be
– Na kwa msaada kutoka kwangu kuwa wewe utakuwa nani
Instead of dreary who-you-were
– Badala ya dreary nani-wewe-walikuwa
Well, are!
– Naam, ni!
There’s nothing that can stop you from becoming populer… —lar!

When I see depressing creatures
– Ninapoona viumbe vya kukatisha tamaa
With unprepossessing features
– Na sifa unprepossessing
I remind them on their own behalf to think of
– Ninawakumbusha kwa niaba yao wenyewe kufikiria
Celebrated heads of state
– Wakuu wa nchi wanaosherehekewa
Or especially great communicators
– Au hasa mawasiliano makubwa
Did they have brains or knowledge?
– Walikuwa na akili au maarifa?
Don’t make me laugh
– Usinicheke
They were
– Walikuwa
Popular
– Maarufu
Right!
– Sawa!
It’s all about popular
– Yote ni kuhusu maarufu
It’s not about aptitude, it’s the way you’re viewed
– Siyo kuhusu aptitude, ni njia wewe ni kutazamwa
So it’s very shrewd to be
– Kwa hivyo ni busara sana kuwa
Very, very popular like me, me
– Sana, maarufu sana kama mimi, mimi
And though you protest
– Na ingawa unapinga
Your disinterest
– Kutopendezwa kwako
I know clandestinely
– Najua kwa siri
You’re gonna grin and bear it, your newfound popularity
