Overall Meaning

The Buraka Som Sistema song "Hangover" is a high-energy track that captures the feeling of being hungover after a wild night of partying. The lyrics consist mostly of repetitive sounds, such as "bababa" and "nhem nhem" which are meant to depict the pounding headache and indigestion that often accompany a night of heavy drinking. The singer laments his condition, repeatedly stating "é dor de cabeça" (it's a headache) and "to ressacado" (I'm hungover). The chorus is punctuated by the exclamation "hey," which could represent either a cry of pain or a rallying cry to dance despite the after-effects of the previous night's revelry.
