I feel like I haven't done any German translations for a while. This is a beautiful song from Aladdin III (yes - there was a third Aladdin).
A quick grammar lesson on the use of doch: Doch is a complex German word. It's used quite a bit in this song with different translations. I think that the most overarching meaning of doch is that it contradicts. When Jasmine says it at 0:24 she's contracting what he said before (I translated it as really). At 0:36 and 0:50 it means yet or but. Doch can also mean after all which I used at 1:47. There are many other uses for doch, it can express surprise, doubt, questions, soften commands, a response to a negative question, and others (sometimes it isn't translated - English often uses inflection to achieve the same effect).
Just a couple more notes
1:00 I was confused here, the translation probably isn't right.
1:09 - 1:15 German sometimes uses the present for the future.
1:33 Jasmine isn't spelled with an e in German. I spelled it wrong in English, sorry!
