Afri & The Surfghans: Surfin' AFG
(dedicated to Afridun Amu and The Beach Boys)
If everybody had an ocean, across whole AFG,
then everbody'd be surfin' like crazy Panjsheri!
You'd see them wearin' their pakols,
soaked shalwar-kameez too,
drippin' shaggy black beards,
surfin' AFG!
You'll catch them surfin' at Bamiyan, (inside, outside AFG!)
on Band-e Amir lakes, (inside, outside AFG!)
Kabul City and Ghazni, (inside, outside AFG!)
on Hamun desert brine, (inside, outside AFG!)
high up in the Wakhan, (inside, outside AFG!)
along the Durand line, (inside, outside!)
everybody's gone surfin',
surfin' AFG!
Lets drive up Heri Rud,
these mountain waves look good,
and doing things on water
no mullah ever would!
Can't stay out in the dry dust,
Surfghanistan's alive,
tell the Talibs we're surfin',
surfin' AFG!
At Heŕat and Kandahar, (inside, outside AFG!)
Paghman and Sarobi, (inside, outside AFG!)
Gharjistan and Paktia, (inside, outside AFG!)
the dunes near Chaghari! (inside, outside AFG!)
Even on frozen Lake Shevah (inside, outside AFG!)
and down in Nangarhar, (inside, outside!)
everybody's gone surfin',
surfin' AFG!
(rabāb and armoniā solo)
Everybody's gone surfin',
surfin' AFG!
Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'
surfin' AFG!
