《E Don Do》(够了)是一首尼日利亚非洲节拍的反抗颂歌,建立在费拉式的经典律动上——铜管、康加鼓、一呼一应——却扎根于当下。灵感来自2024年青年主导的 #EndBadGovernance 抗议,它直指腐败、自肥的精英和不断上涨的生活成本,并致敬不再沉默的一代。皮钦语的句子承载着愤怒与希望:年轻人醒了,不会再睡去。
E Don Do
Dem dey chop the money, we dey look One man, one mansion, empty pot, empty book Contracts to the cousins, roads full of hole The oga dem dey dance while the people lose control
Oya! (Oya!) We no go sleep again! (We no go sleep!) Enough is enough! (Enough is enough!) We rise, we rise, Naija! No more silence, no more fear The youth don wake, the youth dey here!
Petrol price dey climb, the salary dey fall The rich man's daughter, she no feel it at all Light for the few, and darkness for the rest Dem say "be patient" — patience don pass test
We no be small, we no dey cry We dey march, we dey ask why From Lagos to Abuja, one voice, one fight E don do, e don do — we want the light
E don do! (E don do!) We no go sleep again! (We no go sleep!) Enough is enough! Naija must change!
E don do... E don do...
