Khoroto / Drunk as fuck

Khoroto* / Drunk as fuck
(Original song by Gultrah Sound System)
Translated to English by Hichem Hidri
Edited by Znous

Bouzid is wearing clothes*1
Bouzid is all Naked [it’s all the same]
Bouzid with clothes
Bouzid´s got a job [still always lame]. 

Bouzid is clothed
Yet he is barefoot [it’s all the same]
Bouzid is clothed,
Look how happy he is! [still lame] 

A visually impaired in the land of the blind*2 [it’s all the same]
Walking naked with a golden ring in hand* 3 [still lame] 

They brought to you some Human  rights! [it’s all the same]
Straight from Sudan’s plains and heights [still lame] 

We [thralls] left beneath the walls
Peering over the bay for a vessel to smuggle us away

Oh god almighty! 

They laid waste to our country 

Night’s long and Dawn [a forgotten song].
We no longer [blessed] like the rest.

Hey educated men! and hey you communist…

I’m hungry and I no longer care
A day shall come and [we ‘ll be square].
I will be s
peaking Italian out of despair. 

We [thralls] left beneath the walls. 

Peering over the bay for a vessel to smuggle us away. 

Oh, god almighty! 

They laid waste to our country
Night’s long and dawn [a forgotten song].
We no longer [blessed] like the rest. 

Bouzid is wearing cloths
Bouzid is left Naked [it’s all the same]
Bouzid is wearing clothes
Bouzid is barefoot [he’s always lame]
Bouzid wearing clothes,
Bouzid´s got a job! [it’s all the same]
Bouzid is wearing clothes
Bouzid is an asshole [[he’s always lame]
