sounds like your clutch is slipping to me.

hi do you know if i need to replace or adjust it in eny way

If the clutch is slipping that bad then it sounds like it is already burnt out. A replacement would be better, rather than trying to put off the inevitable...

I agree with the above - it sounds like your Clutch is slipping and will need to be replaced.
