Music Note from Yvonne DuVal
Harry Belafonte's beloved song, "Turn the World Around", appears as the final song in our teal hymnal. Yet, one word is used without clear meaning notated within the song. While I'm not a linguist, my online research led me to this breakdown, found on Muppet Central:
"a bati wa ha" meaning in Swahili:
a = of
bahati = fortunate
wa = existence
ha = (likely just a punctuated sound in the song with no meaning)
Final translation: "Of fortunate existence. Ha!"
Or loosely: "Our lucky life. Ha!"
Or even more loosely: "So is life. Ha!"
