Elphie, now that we’re friends
– Elphie, issa li aħna ħbieb
I’ve decided to make you my new project
– Iddeċidejt li nagħmlek il proġett il ġdid tiegħi
You really don’t have to do that
– Int verament m’għandekx għalfejn tagħmel dan
I know!
– Naf!
That’s what makes me so nice
– Dak hu li jagħmilni daqshekk sabiħ
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
– Kull meta nara lil xi ħadd inqas ixxurtjat minni
And let’s face it, who isn’t less fortunate than I?
– U ejja niffaċċjawha, min mhux inqas ixxurtjat minni?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
– Qalbi tenera għandha t tendenza li tibda toħroġ id demm
And when someone needs a makeover, I simply have to take over
– U meta xi ħadd ikollu bżonn tibdil, sempliċement ikolli nieħu f’idejh
I know, I know exactly what they need
– Naf, naf eżattament dak li għandhom bżonn
And even in your case
– U anke fil każ tiegħek
Though it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face
– Għalkemm huwa l iktar każ iebes li għadni niffaċċja
Don’t worry, I’m determined to succeed
– Tinkwetax, jien determinat li nirnexxi
Follow my lead
– Segwi t tmexxija tiegħi
And yes, indeed
– U iva, tabilħaqq
You will be
– Int tkun
Popular
– Popolari
You’re gonna be popular
– Int ser tkun popolari
I’ll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys
– Jien ngħallmek il-manuvri xierqa meta titkellem mas-subien
Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh
– Modi żgħar biex flirt u flounce, ooh
I’ll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair
– Jien ser nuruk liema żraben tilbes, kif tirranġa xagħrek
Everything that really counts to be popular
– Dak kollu li verament jgħodd biex ikun popolari
I’ll help you be popular
– Jien ngħinek tkun popolari
You’ll hang with the right cohorts, you’ll be good at sports
– Int ser tistrieħ mal-koorti t-tajba, tkun tajjeb fl-isports
Know the slang you’ve got to know
– Kun af is slang li sirt taf
So let’s start ’cause you’ve got an awfully long way to go
– Mela ejja nibdew’għaliex għandek triq twila ħafna
Don’t be offended by my frank analysis
– Tkunx offiż bl analiżi sinċiera tiegħi
Think of it as personality dialysis
– Aħseb dwarha bħala personalità dijalisi
Now that I’ve chosen to become a pal
– Issa li għażilt li nsir pal
A sister and adviser, there’s nobody wiser
– Oħt u konsulent, m’hemm ħadd aktar għaqli
Not when it comes to
– Mhux meta niġu għal
Popular
– Popolari
I know about popular
– Naf dwar popolari
And with an assist from me to be who you’ll be
– U b’assistenza minni biex inkun min int tkun
Instead of dreary who-you-were
– Minflok imdejjaq min-int-kont
Well, are
– Ukoll, huma
There’s nothing that can stop you from becoming populer… lar
– M’hemm xejn li jista’jwaqqafek milli ssir popolatur… lar
La-la, la-la
– La-la, la-la
We’re gonna make you popular
– Aħna ser nagħmluk popolari
When I see depressing creatures
– Meta nara kreaturi deprimenti
With unprepossessing features
– B’karatteristiċi li ma jippossjedux
I remind them on their own behalf to think of
– Infakkarhom f’isimhom biex jaħsbu
Celebrated heads of state or
– Kapijiet ta’stat iċċelebrati jew
Especially great communicators
– Speċjalment komunikaturi kbar
Did they have brains or knowledge?
– Kellhom imħuħ jew għarfien?
Don’t make me laugh
– Tagħmilnix tidħaq
They were popular
– Kienu popolari
Please, it’s all about popular
– Jekk jogħġbok, dan kollu dwar popolari
It’s not about aptitude, it’s the way you’re viewed
– Mhuwiex dwar l-attitudni, huwa l-mod kif int meqjus
So it’s very shrewd to be
– Allura huwa għaqli ħafna li tkun
Very, very popular like me
– Popolari ħafna bħali
Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you
– Għaliex, Miss Elphaba, ħares lejk
You’re beautiful
– Int sabiħ
I— I have to go
– I-irrid immur
You’re welcome
– Int merħba
And though you protest
– U għalkemm tipprotesta
Your disinterest
– Id-diżinteress tiegħek
I know clandestinely
– Naf klandestinament
You’re gonna grin and bear it, your newfound popularity
– Int se tidħak u ġġorrha, il-popolarità ġdida tiegħek
La-la, la-la
– La-la, la-la
You’ll be popular
– Int tkun popolari
Just not quite as popular as me
– Mhux daqshekk popolari daqsni
