Hasa Diga Eebowai
In this part of Africa, we all have a saying – whenever something bad happens, we just throw our hands to the sky and say, "Hasa diga eebowai"!
Hasa diga eebowai?
It's the only way to get through all these troubled times. There's war, poverty, famine... but having a saying makes it all seem better!
There isn't enough food to eat
Hasa diga eebowai
People are starving in the street
Hasa diga Eeebowai
Hasa diga eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Well, that's pretty neat!
Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?
Kind of!
We've had no rain in several days (Hasa diga eebowai!)
And eighty percent of us have AIDS (Hasa diga eebowai!)
Many young girls here get circumcised
Their clits get cut right off (Way oh!)
And so we say up to the sky
Hasa diga eebowai!
Hasa diga eebowai!
Hasa diga eebowai!
Now you try! Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky, and list off the bad things in your life
Somebody took our luggage away (Hasa diga eebowai!)
The plane was crowded and the bus was late (Hasa diga eebowai!)
When the world is getting you down
There's nobody else to blame (Way oh!)
Raise your middle finger to the sky
And curse his rotten name
Wait, what?
Hasa diga eebowai! (Hasa diga eebowai!)
Am I saying that right?
Excuse me, sir, but what exactly does that phrase mean?
Well, let's see...'Eebowai' means 'God', and 'Hasa diga' means 'Fuck you'. So I guess in English it would be
"Fuck you, god!" (Hasa diga eebowai!)
What?!!
When god fucks you in the butt (Hasa diga eebowai!)
Fuck god back right in his cunt (Hasa diga eebowai!)
Hasa diga eebowai! (Fuck you, god!)
Hasa diga eebowai! (Fuck you, god!)
Excuse me, sir, but you should really not be saying that. Things aren't always as bad as they seem
Oh, really? Well, take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo, here. He got caught last week trying to rape a baby
What!? Why?
Some people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS. There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies
But... that's horrible!
I know!
(Hasa diga eebowai!)
Here's the butcher, he has AIDS
Here's the teacher, she has AIDS
Here's the doctor, he has AIDS
Here's my daughter she has A
...wonderful disposition!
She's all I have left in the world
And if either of you lays a hand on her –
I will give you my AIDS!
If you don't like what we say
Try living here a couple days
Watch all your friends and family die
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you!
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you in the eye!
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Hasa – fuck you in the other eye!
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you, fuck you god
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you, fuck you god
Hasa diga eebowai!
Fuck you, fuck you god
Hasa diga!
Fuck you god!
In the cunt!
