Cigarette Abana
Habib Koité Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

se de quien le gusta despertar feliz
como cafe
otros prefieren con mucho calor
y sabor
o lo prefieren a una mujer
entre sabanas
o mejor que una mujer
que una musa... musa

Coro (2x always)
no more cigarette
no more cigarette
abana
abana

se de quien le gusta mañana felices
al ver esperar
otro prefieren con latte y choco
como lobito
otro lo usan entre sabanas
para calentar
otro lo posan entre sabanas
como una musa... musa

Coro
Bridge: yeaaa yeaaa... dont smoke
Coro

toto no fuma la pipa de papa
toto e cabezon




toto fuma la pipa de papa
y el coco de toto de mareo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Habib Koité's song Cigarette Abana are about the different ways people like to start their day. The song talks about knowing someone who likes to wake up happy like coffee, while others prefer it hot and flavorful or in the arms of a woman or muse. The chorus repeatedly says "no more cigarette, abana" urging people to quit smoking. The bridge then comes in saying "yeaaa yeaaa... dont smoke" to further emphasize the message of the song. The last verse then talks about a character named Toto who doesn't smoke his dad's pipe because he gets dizzy, but instead likes to smoke "the pipe of papa and his own coconut".

One day, my aunt died. She did development work in Africa for most of her life. She smoked and died of lung cancer. She knew what was coming and had her funeral thought out. This was one of three songs she wanted played. A mix between her life and her death. I miss her dearly.
