Mahmoud Ahmed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ትናንትናን ጥሶ ዛሬን ተንተርሶ
ነገንም ተውሶ አምናንም አፍርሶ
ይመጣል ትዝታሽ ጏዙን አግበስብሶ
ይመጣል ትዝታሽ ጏዙን አግበስብሶ

ፍቅርንስ ሸኘሁት ወጥቼ እስከ ደጅ
መውደድን ሸኘሁት ወጥቼ እስከ ደጅ
ማባረር ያቃተኝ ትዝታን ነው እንጅ
ማባረር ያቃተኝ ትዝታን ነው እንጅ

ጎን ለጎን ሲሆን ፍቅር ነው ደስታ
አበሳ አስቆጣሪው የተለዩ ለታ
አልገባኝም እኔ ምንድን ነው ትዝታ
አልገባኝም እኔ ምንድን ነው ትዝታ

ትዝታ ነው አሉን የሀሳብ መርከቡ
ትዝታ ነው አሉን የጭንቀት መርከቡ
ማራገፊያውማ እኔ ነኝ ወደቡ
ማራገፊያውማ እኔ ነኝ ወደቡ

ምንኛ ባጠረ እድሜው የፍቅር
መዝገበ ቃላቱ ትዝታ ባይኖር

የትዝታን ዳገት ወጣሁት ተክዤ
የትዝታን ዳገት ወጣሁት ተክዤ
በእጄ ምናምኑን በልቤ አንቺን ይዤ
በእጄ ምናምኑን በልቤ አንቺን ይዤ

የምትራመዱ እንደተመቻችሁ
አጅሬ ትዝታ ያልደረሰባችሁ
እስኪ አውሱኝ ለኔ ደህና ልብ ያላችሁ
እስኪ አውሱኝ ለኔ ደህና ልብ ያላችሁ

በልቼ እርቦኛል ጠጥቼ ጠምቶኛል
ሌሊት እየመጣ እንቅልፍ ይነሳኛል
ጠላቴ ትዝታን ማን ሰው ያስጥለኛል
ጠላቴ ትዝታን ማን ሰው ያስጥለኛል

ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ
ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ

Breaking yesterday and breaking today
ትናንትናን ጥሶ ዛሬን ተንተርሶ

He borrowed tomorrow and broke his faith
ነገንም ተውሶ አምናንም አፍርሶ

Your memories will come
ይመጣል ትዝታሽ ጏዙን አግበስብሶ

Your memories will come
ይመጣል ትዝታሽ ጏዙን አግበስብሶ
I took love and went out to the door
ፍቅርንስ ሸኘሁት ወጥቼ እስከ ደጅ

I escorted him to the door
መውደድን ሸኘሁት ወጥቼ እስከ ደጅ

It's just a memory I couldn't get rid of
ማባረር ያቃተኝ ትዝታን ነው እንጅ

It's just a memory I couldn't get rid of
ማባረር ያቃተኝ ትዝታን ነው እንጅ
Side by side, love is happiness
ጎን ለጎን ሲሆን ፍቅር ነው ደስታ

The exhaustion controller is unique
አበሳ አስቆጣሪው የተለዩ ለታ

I don't understand what a memory I am
አልገባኝም እኔ ምንድን ነው ትዝታ

I don't understand what a memory I am
አልገባኝም እኔ ምንድን ነው ትዝታ
They say it's a memory ship
ትዝታ ነው አሉን የሀሳብ መርከቡ

We have a memory of the ship of distress
ትዝታ ነው አሉን የጭንቀት መርከቡ

The port is the port
ማራገፊያውማ እኔ ነኝ ወደቡ

The port is the port
ማራገፊያውማ እኔ ነኝ ወደቡ
How short is love
ምንኛ ባጠረ እድሜው የፍቅር

If the dictionary has no memory
መዝገበ ቃላቱ ትዝታ ባይኖር
I climbed the cliff of memory
የትዝታን ዳገት ወጣሁት ተክዤ

I climbed the cliff of memory
የትዝታን ዳገት ወጣሁት ተክዤ

I hold you in my heart with all my might
በእጄ ምናምኑን በልቤ አንቺን ይዤ

I hold you in my heart with all my might
በእጄ ምናምኑን በልቤ አንቺን ይዤ
As you walk comfortably
የምትራመዱ እንደተመቻችሁ

You have no memories
አጅሬ ትዝታ ያልደረሰባችሁ

Remember me, you have a good heart
እስኪ አውሱኝ ለኔ ደህና ልብ ያላችሁ

Remember me, you have a good heart
እስኪ አውሱኝ ለኔ ደህና ልብ ያላችሁ
I ate, I was hungry, I drank, I was thirsty
በልቼ እርቦኛል ጠጥቼ ጠምቶኛል

I wake up at night
ሌሊት እየመጣ እንቅልፍ ይነሳኛል

Who will save my enemy's memories?
ጠላቴ ትዝታን ማን ሰው ያስጥለኛል

Who will save my enemy's memories?
ጠላቴ ትዝታን ማን ሰው ያስጥለኛል
Oh my gosh oh my gosh
ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ

Oh my gosh oh my gosh
ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ

Oh my gosh oh my gosh
ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ

Oh my gosh oh my gosh
ኦሆሆሆሆ ኦሆሆሆሆ

life changing music. such a beautiful sounding language too

@getch1145

Priceless simply priceless. It makes me remember my sweet childhood days.

@chanieweletaw6186

Every time I heard this music I would think of its song writer "yeshewaleul Mengistu". A young beautiful, fashionable girl who gives many beautiful songs to many known Ethiopian singers including legendary Tilahun Gesses's "Akam Naguma". It pains me to lose her at such a young age due to that time's political condition!

Rest in eternal peace-Yeshewaleul Mengistu !!!

@trinitatnova498

Loving it always
