[MAFALA, spoken]
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!"

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Hasa Diga Eebowai?

[MAFALA. spoken]
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!

(sung)
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, spoken]
Well, that's pretty neat!

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

[MAFALA, spoken]
Kind of!
