Lyric discussion by hemlock_echo 

The foreign phrases are in Swahili, which Merrill is fluent in. A few translations: Hatari => Danger! Mimi naweza => I am able, I can do (it) Sijui => I don't know Mimi ni mchizi, kama ndizi => Literally, I believe this is something like "I am crazy/cool like a banana". This is a common response when someone asks how you are. Wewe ni mbaya, kama nfiya => You are evil like ???

I only learned a little Swahili, so feel free to correct any of that.

Merrill spent a while in Africa and that is what this song appears to be about.
