Book of Mormon - Hasa Diga Eebowai [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[MAFALA:]
In this part of Africa, we ALL have a saying- whenver something bad happens
We just throw our hands up to the sky and say HASA DIGA EEBOWAI!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai?

[MAFALA:]
Its the only way to get through all these troubled times
Theres war, poverty, famine... but having a saying makes it all seem better!

There isnt enough food to eat!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
People are starving in the street!

[UGANDANS and MAFALA:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai![x3]

[ELDER PRICE:]
Well, thats pretty neat!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?

[MAFALA:]
Kind of!

We've had no rain in several days!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
And 80% of us have AIDS!

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Many young girls here get
Circumcised
Their clits get cut right off

[ALL:]
Way oh!

[WOMEN:]
And so we say up to the sky

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Now you try! Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky
And list off all the bad things in your life!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Somebody took our luggage away!

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[ELDER PRICE:]
The plane was crowded
And the bus was late!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
When the world is getting you down
Theres nobody else to blame!

[UGANDANS:]
Way oh!

MAFALA:
Raise your middle finger to the sky
And curse his rotten name!

[ELDER PRICE:]
Wait, what?!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:][Chorus]

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Am I saying it right?

[ELDER PRICE:]
Excuse me sir, but what EXACTLY does that phrase mean?

[MAFALA:]
Well, lets see... "Eebowai" means "God"
And "Hasa Diga" means... "Fuck You"
So I guess in English it would be "Fuck you, God!"

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]

[ELDER PRICE:]
WHAT?!

[MAFALA:]
When God fucks you in the butt

UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

MAFALA:
Fuck him right back in his cunt!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai![x3]
Fuck you, God!

[ELDER PRICE:]
Excuse me, Sir, but you should really NOT be saying that
Things arent always as bad as they seem!

[MAFALA:]
Oh really? Well take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo
He got caught last week trying to RAPE a baby

[ELDER PRICE:]
What?! Why?!

[MAFALA:]
Some people in his tribe believe having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS
There arent many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies

[ELDER PRICE:]
But... thats horrible!

[MAFALA:]
I know!

[UGANDANS][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Heres the butcher, he has AIDS
Heres the teacher, she has AIDS
Heres the doctor, he has AIDS
Heres my daughter, she has A
Wonderful disposition
Shes all I have left in the world
And if either of you lays a hand on her
I will give you my AIDS!

[UGANDANS:]
If you dont 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!

[Chorus:]
Hasa
Diga Eebowai!
Hasa
Fuck you in the other eye!

Fuck you!
Fuck you God!
Fuck you!
Fuck you God!
Fuck you!
Fuck you God!

Hasa Diga!
Fuck you God!
In the cunt!
