[Leon]

What the hell is Masoko Tanga about. Is it in English? Does anyone know what
the lyrics are?!

[Mike Matulis]

One, two, one, two, three, four

Ohhhhh da la la

Don't ba bose da la lomb ba bay
Ping pong da la zoe da la la low

People know what de lee do da day
Key wo wa di com la day wa da

Co wa da zu ma pu wa all day
See po wa ta na po ba ba

Zoe ka mo wa I've been sleepin' all day
Took a lot of drugs, watch the tide roll out

Day light na no ma do la
Keep the sugar warmed up, hey!

Keyboard is a mo day la
Keyboard is a mo day la
A key word is a mo way la
Key wa wo day wa wo I've been

Kicking a wall baby cos' I'm gay
I broke all ma wa tay lay doe

(Ahhh) People are ghosts. Ah my my! Go away.
I pissed on my wall or my door

I'm pissed so no wa though I gave my love away
I'll come back though threw a sonar

I pissed on my walk on my ass all day
I stumble back home passed my door

Oh Oh Oh Oh
They all know what
Oh Oh Oh Oh
The mess in my way
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I'm called Mr. Wombat
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Pissed all the day
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Key from my Wombat
Oh Oh Oh Oh
He stood in my way
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Key from wild baby
Oh Oh Oh Oh
He took my wah

Ma wa ba wa ta la throw away
To ma ba sue le dah (Oh!)

Don't know why my white car won't stay clean
I don't know for what I do?

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh (ow!)

(vocal's fade)
Oh Oh Oh Oh

repeat

Note: These lyrics, provided by Jake Keel, were included with the
original Japanese vinyl release of Outlandos d'Amour. The
Japanese distributer just payed an English speaker to interpret the
lyrics, but they are as close to "official" as has been found.
The lyrics also contained a footnote warning that the song illustrates
the negative effects of drug use.

Masoko Tanga was actually recorded while sting was under hypnosis. A tanga is a
song/composition. I don' know what Masoko is but it sounds african.

[Shawn Buchanan Greene]

Actually, Masoko Tanga means the markets of Tanga. Tanga is a city in
Tanzania. The word for market in Swahili is soko. To make it plural
and to agree w/ the Tanga, you add "ma" to the beginning. The rest of
the lyrics are gibberish.

Just a little info. from your Swahili speaking friend....

Thankyou, you have shed light on my longest standing Sting query.
