MAFALA
In this part of Africa, we ALL have
a saying – whenever something bad
happens, we just throw our hands
up to the sky and say HASA DIGA
EEBOWAI!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Hasa Diga Eebowai?
MAFALA
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.
UGANDANS & MAFALA
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER PRICE
Well, that’s 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
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA
And eighty percent 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!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA
Now you try. Just stand up tall, tilt
your head to the sky, and list 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
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA
When the world is getting you down,
There’s nobody else to blame.
UGANDANS
Way oh!
MAFALA
Raise a middle finger to the sky,
And curse his rotten name.
ELDER PRICE
Wait, what?
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM AND
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Am I saying it right?
ELDER PRICE
Excuse me, what EXACTLY does that
phrase mean?
FATHER
Well, let’s see…“Eebowai” means ‘God’,
and ‘Hasa Diga’ means ‘FUCK YOU’.
So I guess in English it would be,
‘Fuck you, God!’
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER PRICE
What?!!
MAFALA
When God fucks you in the butt.
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA
Fuck God back right in his cunt!
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
What a nifty phrase!
UGANDANS
Way oh!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER PRICE
Elder Cunningham. Elder
Cunningham. Stop - Elder
Cunningham. ELDER
CUNNINGHAM!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
What, what, what?
ELDER PRICE
You have to stop saying that!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
What? Hasa Diga–
ELDER PRICE
No No No! It means something
very bad.
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
What?
ELDER PRICE
They’re saying F you to Heavenly
Father!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
F you to Heavenly Father?! Holy
Moly! I said it like thirteen times!
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Fuck you, God!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Fuck you, God!
ELDER PRICE
Excuse me sir, you really should not
be saying that. Things aren’t always
as bad as they seem.
MAFALA
Oh really? 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 aren’t many virgins left, so some
of them are turning to babies.
ELDER PRICE
But…that’s horrible!
MAFALA
I know!
UGANDANS
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA
Here’s the butcher, he has AIDS.
Here is the teacher, she has AIDS.
Here is the doctor, he has AIDS –
Here is 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.
UGANDANS
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!
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!
