The government of Nigeria put a curfew on it's people a number of years ago. When people protested, the government agreed to lift the curfew for Saturday nights only. People went out into the streets and spontaneously created this song as part of the celebrations. The song has been translated into many languages and sung throughout the world.  

Bobo waro fero Satodeh - Nigerian

Tous le monde aime Samedi soir - French

Todos aman la noche del Sabado - Spanish

Yeider aine hat liebe Shabbas ba nacht - Yiddish

Minden ember szeret Szombat est_t - Hungarian
