Вершы: The Book of Mormon Musical. 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 Eebowai
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 circumsized
Their clits get cut right off
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
Raise your middle finger to the sky
And curse his rotten name (Wait, what?)
Hasa Diga Eebowai (Am I saying that right?)
Hasa Diga Eebowai

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 right back in his cunt
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga Eebowai

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 M'tumbo here. He got caught last week trying to rape a baby.

But, why?

So people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure the 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 of your friends and family die
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Fuck you

Hasa Diga Eebowai

Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you in the eye

Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth, and cunt
Fuck you in the other eye

Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Hasa Diga
Fuck you God
In the cunt
