Bassa and Sababa are Israeli slang terms both originating in Arabic, and they have opposite meanings.
“Bassa” is the bad feeling you get when something annoying or disappointing happened. It’s very close in meaning to the word “bummer” in English slang.
“Sababa” means “great!”, and is also used to describe feeling great or happy, feeling “sababa”.
Both words usually describe a casual, light feeling, but can also imply a stronger feeling, depending on context.
There is a Hebrew saying “Lakahat et ha-bassa be-sababa”, which literally translates as – to take the bad stuff (the bassa) positively (with sababa). To stay positive even when bad things happen.
Netta seeks to send a message to everyone who suffers from bullying or other bad stuff – to ignore the bad stuff, pick themselves up and just carry on. Feeling “bassa”? Try to go “sababa”. Sababa is the answer.

Get the Throw some biscuits on the bass mug.A female bassist is a girl who's too tough to sing and too cool to play guitar. Often stereotyped as lesbian for high amounts of testosterone (a bass is a really heavy, four-stringed guitar). Like other bassists, female bassists come in two styles: reserved and cool, or freaking insane.
