Have you ever felt like your life is just a list of numbers? Namika gets it. In "Alles Was Zählt," she runs through the stats of a typical life: an 81-year lifespan, 50-hour work weeks, 1.5 kids, and a salary of €45,000. It's a life perfectly measured out, but she asks, "Ist das alles, was zählt?" (Is that all that matters?). She feels completely disconnected from this checklist, admitting she's never been good with numbers anyway.
Instead of finding meaning in data, she finds it in a person. The whole time this perfectly calculated day is rushing by, she's thinking, "Merk' ich, wie sehr du mir fehlst" (I notice how much I miss you). She even tries searching for "meaning" online, only for Amazon to suggest a book! The song's big idea is simple and powerful: "Ich glaub', alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen" (I believe, everything that matters / You can't count it). It's a great reminder that love, connection, and feeling are the things that give life value, not the numbers on a smartwatch or a bank statement.
Apache 207 turns a late-night drive into a bittersweet movie scene. Picture him rolling up to a quiet neighborhood, engine purring, headlights flickering on the balcony of someone who cannot resist peeking out. The flashy car and the promise of adventure are magnetic, yet the singer keeps repeating the same warning: “Please don’t get in; at the end of the road, I’ll be breaking your heart.” He is torn between wanting company and knowing he is bad news, so the song captures that electric mix of temptation and caution.
Under the hood, the track is about self-awareness and the thrill of the forbidden. The rumble of “so many horses” (car horsepower) embodies irresistible attraction, while the red traffic light symbolizes a last chance to stop before feelings crash. Apache 207 admits he is not the kind of boyfriend parents dream of, and he refuses to pretend otherwise. In just a few lines, he nails the universal push-and-pull of romance: the rush of possibility versus the fear of inevitable heartache.
Have you ever sat across from a total stranger on the train, locked eyes, and convinced yourself they were your soulmate—only to sit in dead silence until one of you walked away forever? That is the exact missed connection German hip-hop artist CRO brings to life in "Bye Bye". On a warm, sunny train ride home, a guy spots a gorgeous woman taking a seat next to him and panics internally, silently begging himself: "Sprich sie an" ("Talk to her"). He is convinced she is "das Schönste was du je gesehen hast" ("the most beautiful thing you've ever seen"), but stage fright wins. He freezes up, calls himself a "Versager" ("loser" or "failure") because his head is full of words yet nothing comes out, and he can only listen to his own racing heartbeat.
The genius twist comes in the second verse when CRO flips the perspective entirely to her side. After paying a steep €4.70 train ticket ("Vier siebzig für die Fahrt ist ja ganz schön hart") to go shopping for a bikini and a bag, she sits next to him on purpose because she finds him cute. She is having the exact same internal meltdown, thinking "Bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte komm, sprich mich an" ("Please, please, please, please come on, talk to me") and ready to accept literally anything he says. Neither person makes a move, so the moment ends with her stepping off the train and waving goodbye to the "Liebe des Lebens" ("love of my life") they will probably never see again. It is a painfully relatable, funny look at how overthinking ruins the simplest romantic moments before they even start.
Ever wondered what the exact moment of falling out of love sounds like? In “5 Minuten,” the beat-wizards of KitschKrieg join forces with Cro, AnnenMayKantereit, and Trettmann to bottle that split-second when affection quietly clicks to “off.” Over a breezy, almost tropical groove, the singer keeps time like a stopwatch: five minutes ago the feeling died, seven minutes in it is already written down. Instead of tears we get snapshots of a sleepy morning, a tram stop, and unread messages that suddenly feel meaningless. The hook is hypnotic, turning a break-up into a catchy sing-along you might hum while making breakfast.
So what’s the takeaway? The song is a laid-back meditation on how love can vanish not with thunder but with a shrug. Everyday details – scrolling past emojis, noticing warm weather, hanging up mid-call – show how quickly two lives drift apart once the spark is gone. “5 Minuten” isn’t about heartbreak drama; it is about that calm, surprising freedom when you realize both of you will be fine. The result is half break-up anthem, half summer jam, and 100 percent proof that sometimes moving on is as simple as watching the minutes tick by.
Ever felt like you're speaking a completely different language from your partner? Namika totally gets it in her song "Kompliziert." She's laying out all the classic, frustrating moments in a relationship where communication just breaks down. She complains that no matter what she says, he twists her words: "Ich sag' Nein! und du verstehst / Verdrehst den Sinn" [I say 'No!' and you understand / You twist the meaning]. It's a super relatable song about feeling misunderstood by the person who's supposed to know you best.
Namika's solution is both funny and a little bit savage: she tells him it's his lucky day because she has a dictionary for him. The chorus is the perfect summary of her frustration: "Ich bin nicht kompliziert, du verstehst mich nur nicht" [I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me]. She points out how he acts like the "Chef" [boss] in front of their friends but brings her breakfast in bed at home. In the end, she seems to accept him as he is, but she's not going to stop pointing out the problem. It's a fun, clever take on a universal relationship issue.
В этой песне немецкая исполнительница Namika смотрит на современную жизнь и задаётся вопросом: что же на самом деле важно? Она начинает с перечисления сухой статистики, которая должна определять «нормальную» жизнь: средняя продолжительность жизни, рабочие часы, зарплата и даже «1,5 Kinder im Schnitt» (в среднем 1,5 ребёнка). Но её это не впечатляет. В припеве она прямо заявляет: «Ich glaub', alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen» (Я думаю, всё, что имеет значение, / нельзя сосчитать).
Песня критикует нашу одержимость цифрами и самооптимизацией. Умные часы считают шаги, а Amazon рекомендует книги о смысле жизни. Но для Namika всё это бессмысленно, когда рядом нет любимого человека. Она чувствует, что её сводят к набору данных: «Sechs Sinne und 212 Knochen» (шесть чувств и 212 костей). Но самое главное, человеческое сердце, которое «sehnt sich nach mehr» (жаждет большего), ускользает от любых расчётов. Вся суть песни в одной строчке: «Und immer wenn der Tag an mir vorbeirennt / Merk' ich, wie sehr du mir fehlst» (И всегда, когда день проносится мимо, / я замечаю, как сильно мне тебя не хватает).
Da li si ikada osetio/la da je život postao samo trka sa brojevima? Nemačka hip-hop umetnica Namika se u ovoj pesmi bavi upravo tim osećajem. Ona nabraja sve statistike koje bi trebalo da definišu uspešan život: očekivani životni vek od 81 godine, radna nedelja od 50 sati, pa čak i to da se smeje samo „dreizehn Minuten pro Tag“ (trinaest minuta dnevno). Sve zvuči tako precizno i isplanirano.
Ali Namika postavlja ključno pitanje: „Ist das alles, was zählt?“ (Da li je to sve što se računa?). Kroz celu pesmu, ona se bori sa idejom da se vrednost života ne može svesti na brojke na pametnom satu ili bankovnom računu. Za nju, sve te metrike postaju beznačajne jer joj nedostaje jedna posebna osoba. Na kraju, dolazi do jednostavnog, ali moćnog zaključka: „Ich glaub', alles, was zählt, das kann man nicht zählen“ (Verujem da se sve što se računa ne može izbrojati). Pesma nas podseća da su ljubav i ljudska povezanost ono što zaista daje smisao, a to se ne može izmeriti.
Dans cette chanson, l'artiste allemande Namika se demande ce qui compte vraiment dans la vie. Elle nous présente une vision de l'existence réduite à une série de statistiques : une espérance de vie de 81 ans, des semaines de travail de 50 heures, 13 minutes de sourire par jour, et même « 1, 5 Kinder im Schnitt » [1,5 enfant en moyenne]. Face à cette vie chiffrée, elle pose une question simple mais puissante : « Ist das alles, was zählt? » [Est-ce que c'est tout ce qui compte ?]. Pour elle, la réponse est claire : non.
Namika rejette cette obsession des données, que ce soit sa montre connectée qui compte ses pas ou Amazon qui lui recommande un livre sur le sens de la vie. Elle nous dit qu'elle n'a jamais été douée avec les chiffres. Ce qui lui manque vraiment, c'est une personne. C'est ce sentiment qui donne un sens à ses journées. La conclusion de la chanson est une belle réflexion sur ce qui a de la valeur : « Ich glaub', alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen » [Je crois que tout ce qui compte / ne peut pas être compté].
This song is a powerful anthem about living life on your own terms. The lyrics describe a journey that has been a "verrückte Zeit" (crazy time), lived at "hundertzehn Prozent" (110 percent). The artists reflect on a past where they had to fight for everything, saying "uns wurde nichts geschenkt" (nothing was given to us). This experience has led them to a philosophy of individuality and freedom: "Jeder, wie er will / Alles kann, nichts muss" (Everyone as they want / Anything is possible, nothing is a must).
At its heart, the song is a celebration of being alive. The chorus repeats the simple but profound message, "Atme ein, atme aus, weil du lebst" (Breathe in, breathe out, because you live). It encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and the uncertainty of the future, asking, "Wer weiß schon, was morgen kommt?" (Who knows what tomorrow will bring?). It's a call to join a movement of people going "gegen den Strom" (against the current), acknowledging both the good and bad parts of their past—"Wir waren Schurken, wir waren Helden" (We were villains, we were heroes)—and finding strength in the simple fact that they are here, now.
Bläulich drops us into a neon–soaked night where Apache 207 glides through the city in his AMG, the sky glowing bluish above the speeding Benz. Over booming 808s he flashes snapshots of the high-life: oversized rims, backstage rooms packed with “Gangstern,” and a soundtrack that flips from modern trap to the 90s classic “Rhythm Is a Dancer.” Yet each boast comes with a wink. He repeats “Apache bleibt gleich” (Apache stays the same) to remind us that, even while he samples luxury and flirts with danger, he is still the down-to-earth kid his fans fell for.
Between revving engines and clinking Jäger-Cola glasses, the song pokes at class expectations (“Anders verschaffst du dir keinen Respekt bei dieser Oberschicht”) and plays with romantic tension, hinting that neither money nor bravado can truly buy authenticity. “Bläulich” is therefore both a midnight joyride and a self-aware flex: a celebration of freedom, success, and charisma, wrapped in a cool blue glow that blurs the line between street swagger and genuine soul.
Lost in translation has never sounded so good! In Je Ne Parle Pas Français, German singer Namika wanders through Paris with nothing but a small suitcase and zero sense of direction. A charming stranger strikes up a conversation in rapid-fire French, and although she cannot grasp a single word, she is instantly captivated. From the Champs-Élysées to riverside sunsets, every gesture, smile, and shared cigarette becomes its own little dictionary, proving that chemistry often speaks louder than vocabulary.
The song celebrates the magic of unspoken connection: the way body language, tone, and atmosphere can create an instant bond even when grammar fails. Namika’s chorus—“Je ne parle pas français, aber bitte red’ weiter” (“I don’t speak French, but please keep talking”)—captures the thrill of surrendering to the moment. It is a flirty, feel-good reminder that sometimes the most memorable conversations are the ones we never actually understand, and that music, like love, is a universal language we can all tune into.
This song is all about wanting a perfect moment to last forever. Apache 207 starts with some intense imagery: he's lying next to someone, feeling her breath and hearing his own heart beat, but describes his pillow as being made of scars and his blanket of pain: "Ein Kopfkissen aus Narben / Und eine Bettdecke aus Schmerz" (A pillow of scars / And a blanket of pain). It suggests that even though things are good now, there's a difficult past.
But the mood quickly shifts to something incredibly sweet. He describes her humming a song he sang to her while she was asleep in his arms. He finds her slightly off-key singing perfect and repeats over and over, "Ich will nie mehr weg von hier" (I never want to leave here). The song then jumps between these beautiful scenes: driving at night in a convertible while she sleeps, being on vacation in Santorini, and seeing her red lipstick on his cocktail glass. It's a snapshot of a perfect, peaceful time, and he's practically begging for it not to end.
¿Alguna vez viste a alguien increíble en el metro y te congelaste por completo? De eso trata "Bye Bye", un tema de hip hop donde el rapero alemán CRO cuenta una de las situaciones más frustrantes y cómicas del transporte público: el amor a primera vista arruinado por los nervios.
Todo empieza con un día soleado. Un chico vuelve a casa en tren, relajado, cuando de repente sube una chica que lo deja sin palabras. Por dentro se dice desesperado: "bitte komm / Sprich sie an" (por favor, ven, háblale), pero el pánico gana y se insulta a sí mismo con un sincero "Ich bin ein Versager weil ich mich doch nicht traue" (soy un fracasado porque no me atrevo). Lo brillante de la letra llega en la segunda mitad, cuando CRO cambia la perspectiva: ella también lo vio a él, pagó los caros "Vier siebzig" (cuatro con setenta) de su billete, se sentó a su lado a propósito y estaba rogando exactamente lo mismo: "Bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte komm, sprich mich an" (Por favor, por favor, por favor, por favor, ven, háblame). Al final, ninguno de los dos dijo una palabra, ella se baja del vagón y ambos se quedan despidiéndose mentalmente del que pudo ser el amor de su vida: "Bye bye bye bye meine Liebe des Lebens" (Adiós, adiós, adiós, adiós, amor de mi vida).
The whole song is one moment stretched out: someone walks towards you and your body reacts before your brain does. "Und mein Herz macht boom" [And my heart goes boom] is the title doing the work, and CRO builds everything else out of the same reflexes. "Meine Blicke wie Magneten auf dich drauf" [My eyes on you like magnets] is less a compliment than an admission that he can't look away, and then the confidence falls out completely: "Doch ich frag' mich grade: Siehst du mich denn auch?" [But I'm just wondering: do you see me too?].
The second verse is where it gets funny. "Und um dir zu gefallen, mache ich irgendetwas Kindisches" [And to please you, I do something childish] is an honest thing to admit, and the big romantic gesture right after it, "Schließ' meine Augen und ich mal' dich mit 'nem Pinselstrich" [I close my eyes and paint you with one brushstroke], falls apart a line later into "Doch kommst du mir zu nah, wird mir schwindelig" [But if you get too close, I go dizzy]. The hook isn't even words, just "Uhh-uhh, uhh-uhh-uh", which is roughly the level of speech he has left.
“Supernova” captures the electric rush of two old friends colliding after years apart and deciding to ignite the night. Meeting on the Baltic coast in Heiligendamm, they trade stories of ugly love, bad tattoos, and broken taboos while the thunder of passing trains becomes their drumbeat. With hearts set on their own Cape Canaveral, they vow to forget everything, unleash surplus energy, and shine brighter than the moon before dawn breaks.
The track is a celebration of living at ten-billion-degree intensity: spilled drinks, shattered glass, pogo pits, triumphs, and losses all blur into one ecstatic moment. Marteria and Casper turn the dance floor into a mini-cosmos where time slows, seconds stretch into years, and everyone can feel like royalty. The message is simple yet explosive—grab the moment, let your inner light explode like a supernova, and worry about sunrise later.
Tarek K.I.Z.'s "Fusion" is a wild ride into a world where everything is falling apart, but our narrator has found his ultimate escape! He kisses his son goodbye, who desperately clings to his leg, pleading, "Bitte lasse uns nicht alleine!" [Please don't leave us alone!]. He tells his wife, who's understandably furious, that she'll "neu anfangen, Dich neu verlieben" [start anew, fall in love again]. When she asks if he's coming back, his answer is blunt: "Ich bleib' für immer, Für immer auf der Fusion" [I'm staying forever, Forever at the Fusion].
This isn't just about leaving; it's about a complete detachment from the collapsing world. New York is flooding, Berlin is in a mass panic, and everything is burning, but he's in "einem besseren Ort" [a better place]. He doesn't believe in any religion, having given all his money away. For him, all that matters is "Trance, Techno und Goa" and his "Festivalbändchen am Handgelenk" [festival wristband on his wrist]. He's found his eternal paradise at the Fusion festival, and he's never coming back. It's a darkly humorous, yet strangely liberating, vision of finding your true calling amidst global chaos.
Cro's "Meine Zeit" is a super chill anthem about living in the moment and being confident in your own path. The whole vibe is right there in the chorus: "Meine Zeit is' jetzt / Egal was kommt, man, ich bleib' relaxt" (My time is now / Whatever comes, man, I'll stay relaxed). He doesn't have a grand plan for the future, but he's not worried. He just knows that so far, life has been awesome, or as he puts it, "fett" (fat/great).
He spends the verses painting a picture of his life and style. He's a self-proclaimed "Hypebeast" who loves his Nikes and Supreme gear, but he keeps it positive with "kein Beef" (no beef). He makes his own beats and is proud that his music travels the world like a "Backpacker". He even throws in some funny, slightly ridiculous lines about his girl being "scharf, wie das 'S'" (hot like the letter 'S'). He's not chasing money, joking that even though he might become a millionaire, right now his pockets are "Leer" (empty). And that's fine by him. All he wants is for you to enjoy the music, to get high on the beats, and feel that "Gänsehaut" (goosebumps).
Tyske Namika leverer her et fedt hiphop-track, der gør oprør mod et liv styret af regneark og statistik. Hun opremser den moderne tilværelse som kolde tal: en forventet levetid på 81 år, 50 timers arbejdsuge, 13 minutters smil om dagen og et gennemsnit på 1,5 barn. Selv smartwatchet blander sig og tæller hendes skridt eller beder hende drikke vand. Namika kigger på det hele og spørger tørt: Ist das alles, was zählt? (Er det alt, hvad der tæller?). Det er et genialt ordspil på tysk, fordi udsagnsordet zählen både betyder at have værdi (at tælle med) og helt bogstaveligt at tælle cifre.
Hun gør det helt klart med linjen Mit Zahlen konnt' ich noch nie (Tal har aldrig været min stærke side). Selvom biologien og videnskaben skærer et menneske ned til dreißig Billionen Zellen und 212 Knochen (tredive billioner celler og 212 knogler), mangler der noget afgørende, som en algoritme på Amazon ikke kan regne ud. Når hverdagen suser forbi, opdager hun, hvor meget hun savner personen, hun synger til. Pointen rammer rent: alles, was zählt, das kann man nicht zählen (alt det, der virkelig betyder noget, kan man slet ikke tælle op).
Nemška hip-hop ustvarjalka Namika v tej pesmi nastavi ogledalo sodobnemu svetu, ki je obsedeno z meritvami in statistiko. Takoj te vrže v hladne življenjske številke: »Man gibt mir 81 Jahre hier« (Tukaj mi dajo 81 let), 50-urni delovni teden, natanko 13 minut smeha na dan in statistično povprečje »1,5 Kinder im Schnitt« (v povprečju 1,5 otroka). Tudi vsakdan ji narekujejo algoritmi; njena pametna ura šteje korake in jo opominja, naj pije vodo, Amazon pa ji ponuja knjige, ko išče smisel. Vse skupaj zveni precej absurdno, ker življenje zreducira na golo matematiko, celo njeno telo razbije na »dreißig Billionen Zellen und 212 Knochen« (trideset bilijonov celic in 212 kosti).
V refrenu Namika ponudi preprost, a močan zasuk: »Ich glaub', alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen« (Mislim, da vsega, kar šteje, ne moreš prešteti). Nemška beseda zählen namreč pomeni 'šteti', a v prenesenem pomenu tudi 'biti pomemben' ali 'veljati'. Medtem ko ji dnevi bežijo mimo, v resnici misli le na eno osebo: »Merk' ich, wie sehr du mir fehlst« (Opazim, kako zelo te pogrešam). Pesem te bo nasmejala s svojo neposrednostjo glede korporativnega ritma, hkrati pa te spomnila, da občutkov bližine pač ne moreš stlačiti v Excelovo tabelo.
Hinterland paints a vivid picture of small-town youth who feel stuck at “the end of the world,” yet still wear their roots like a badge of honor. Casper stacks images of empty streets, flickering streetlights and half-filled glasses to show a place where every day is just waiting and time seems frozen. The kids numb themselves with cheap thrills, toss stones just to be loud and dance wordlessly because talking would only remind them of how little changes. Here, even “the wrong drugs at the right time” are less about danger and more about fighting boredom.
At its heart the song is a love-hate letter to that forgotten Hinterland: a “damned” yet “beloved” hometown that shapes you, frustrates you and ultimately unites you with the people who share it. Casper invites us to feel both the claustrophobia and the camaraderie of growing up in a place where nothing happens, turning these restless nights and cracked sidewalks into a legend of their own.
Замислял ли си се някога колко много се опитва светът да вкара целия ни живот в суха статистика? Германската хип-хоп изпълнителка Namika прави точно тази дисекция в „Alles Was Zählt“. Още в началото тя реди фактите с ирония: отредени са ѝ средно 81 години, 50-часова работна седмица като „Arbeitstier“ (буквално „работно животно“, синоним на работохолик), усмихва се по 13 минути на ден и има точно „1, 5 Kinder im Schnitt“ (1,5 деца средностатистически). Смартчасовникът брои крачките и ѝ заповядва кога да пие вода, а алгоритъмът на Amazon ѝ предлага книга, щом потърси думата „смисъл“. Всичко е измерено до последния милиметър, но накрая тя просто признава: „Mit Zahlen konnt' ich noch nie“ (С числата никога не ми е вървяло).
Зад цялата тази забавна математика обаче стои истинското послание: най-важните неща не подлежат на преброяване. Namika пее, че учените могат да я сведат до 30 трилиона клетки и 212 кости, но никой не може да изчисли стойността на биещото сърце, когато човекът отсреща му липсва. Заглавието играе с немския глагол zählen, който означава както „броя“, така и „имам значение“. Тракът удря точно там: денят отминава на бързи обороти, статистиката е безполезна, а „alles, was zählt, das kann man nicht zählen“ (всичко, което има значение, не може да се преброи).
Saksalainen artisti Namika heittää tässä hip hop -biisissään ilmoille kysymyksen, jota moni meistä pyörittelee arjen oravanpyörässä: mitataanko elämää vain numeroilla? Tekstissä elämä pilkotaan kylmiin tilastoihin: 81 elinvuotta, 50-tuntiset työviikot, 13 minuuttia hymyä päivässä ja keskimäärin 1,5 lasta. Jopa älykello käsivarressa komentaa ottamaan askeleita nopeammin ja juomaan vettä. Koko ihmisyys puristetaan biologisiin lukuihin, kuten rivillä "dreißig Billionen Zellen und 212 Knochen" (kolmekymmentä biljoonaa solua ja 212 luuta). Namikan vastaus tähän suorittamiseen on virkistävän suora: "Mit Zahlen konnt' ich noch nie" (lukujen kanssa en ole koskaan pärjännyt).
Kappaleen ydin kiteytyy sanaleikkiin sanalla zählen. Saksassa se tarkoittaa sekä laskemista että merkitsemistä tai tärkeänä olemista. Kertosäkeen oivallus "alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen" (kaikkea, mikä merkitsee, ei voi laskea) kääntää koko tilastokeskeisen maailman päälaelleen. Vaikka Amazon suosittelee seitsemän elämäntarkoitushaun jälkeen sopivaa kirjaa, mikään ei korvaa toisen ihmisen läsnäoloa. Päivän kiitäessä ohi tärkeintä onkin vain ikävä: "Merk' ich, wie sehr du mir fehlst" (huomaan, kuinka paljon kaipaan sinua).
Hai presente quando la società cerca di calcolare la tua intera esistenza in numeri e statistiche? In questo brano hip hop, l'artista tedesca Namika fa proprio i conti in tasca alla vita quotidiana: elenca gli 81 anni di aspettativa media, le settimane lavorative da cinquanta ore definendosi un "Arbeitstier" (un animale da soma, uno stacanovista), i tredici minuti esatti di sorriso al giorno e persino la media statistica di "1, 5 Kinder" (un figlio e mezzo). Cita persino lo smartwatch che tiene traccia di ogni passo e ti ordina di bere un sorso d'acqua, oppure gli algoritmi di Amazon che provano a suggerirti libri sul senso della vita. È un elenco ironico, freddo e quasi assurdo, che fotografa benissimo l'ansia di voler quantificare ogni secondo.
Il ritornello ribalta tutto con un gioco di parole brillante: "Ich glaub', alles, was zählt / Das kann man nicht zählen" (Credo che tutto ciò che conta / non si possa contare). In tedesco il verbo zählen significa sia "contare" (i numeri) sia "avere valore, contare qualcosa". Namika dice chiaramente che con la matematica non ci ha mai saputo fare ("Mit Zahlen konnt' ich noch nie") e che le manchi terribilmente ogni volta che la giornata scivola via di corsa. Possono anche ridurti biologicamente a trenta trilioni di cellule e 212 ossa, ma se il cuore batte e cerca qualcuno, nessun calcolo statistico basterà mai a spiegare quanto vali.
