ሰበቡ ነጠላ ለብሼ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ነጠላ ለብሰህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ አሁን ከምን ግዜው
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ድርብ አማረህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ነጠላ ነው ልብሴ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ አገር ጠይቅብኝ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ይበርዳታል ብለህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ እንዳትደርብብኝ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ያንቀጠቅጠኛል ብርቱ ዛር አለብኝ
የምወደውን ልጅ ሌላ ሲነካብኝ
አንሶላው ትራሱ የሚኮሰኩሰኝ
ካንተጋር ስሆንነው የሚለሰልሰኝ
መንገዱም እራቀኝ ብቻዬን ሳዘግም
ካንተጋራ ስሆን ጉልበቴም አይደክም
አንሶላው ትራሱ የሚኮሰኩሰኝ
ካንተጋር ስሆንነው የሚለሰልሰኝ
ካንተጋር ስሆንነው የሚለሰልሰኝ
ናና ሰበቡ ናና ሰበቡ
ናና ሰበቡ ናና ሰበቡ
ሰበቡ የሰው መላዕክተኛ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ምስክር ለምኔ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ የምትመክረኝ አንተ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ የምሰማህ እኔ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ተወደድኩኝ ብለህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ሆንክ እኮ እንደልብህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ ብጠራህ አትመጣ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ
ሰበቡ አያልቅም ሰበብህ
አንተ ሰበበኛ አንተ ሰበበኛ

She's seeking answers and trying to understand why he's acting distant and not showing her any affection.

Aster fiker, proud of Ethiopia. I wonder who can replace her. She isn't just a musician to me but also a life partner who helps me get through the ups and downs of life with love & hope.
