Kadhura – You, piece of shit
Translated to English by Hella Grichi
Edited by Znous
Synopsis
Kadhura is a message to a particular man and the likes of him in the shitty Tunisian journalism sector.
Lingering around in the night
Holding a mic in his hand
Tumbling about like a pig
After eating two bowls of garlic(1)
A journalist created by God in the form of a cleaning rag
In the land of fuckers
A journalist that walks barefoot
‘cause he’s the slipper himself
He got a call and now he’s slithering with the snakes(2)
The “Fuck your Mother” Brigade producing drugged prison food(3)
They seized young brats sniffing glue4 in an abandoned place
When Hamma Bouzidi jumped on them, Mortal Kombat style
“What’s your name, who are your parents, why did they give birth to you?
Aren’t you too young to do these things, you bum?”
The boy hangs his head in shame, deprived of integrity and respect
Cursed be your hand, you piece of shit!
As well as whoever pays you, you piece of shit!
If I catch you, I’d blind you, you piece of shit!
And kick your ass, you piece of shit!
Who raised you, you piece of shit!
Shat you into this life under a bridge, you piece of shit!
Who gave you your name, you piece of shit!
And a microphone, you piece of shit!
Ignoring all the pains in this world just to chase some girl
Didn’t find anything to film except two guys drinking
Didn’t find anyone to harass except poor girls and grandmas
While the police acts all high and mighty because of a piece of Marihuana or a bottle
You’re a macho and oh so amazing but in the end, you’ll be fucked
You and the director and whoever made you the moral police
Idiot, one day you’ll end up minding your own business
Generation after generation will be pissing on your grave
(1): Usually eaten alongside alcohol as tapas
(2): The word “snakes” designates the police force in Tunisian slang
(3): Tunisian police forces are divided into teams and brigades. Additionally, the word “Marhouja” designates food in Tunisian prisons. It is a porridge of leftovers mixed with calming drugs to subdue the prison population.
(4) Those who cannot afford to buy drugs resort to sniffing very strong glue using a plastic bag.
