Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ሳይ ቀና ብዬ ወደላይ
ሳይ ፅልመት ለብሶ ሰማይ
ሳይ ደም መስላለች ፀዐይ
ሳይ ቀና ብዬ ወደላይ
ሳይ ፅልመት ለብሶ ሰማይ
ሳይ ደም መስላለች ፀዐይ
ከእውነት ፀዐይ ከትላንቱ ተደብቄ በምሽቱ ያልሆንኩትን ልሆን ስጥር ስታትር ...ታሪ.ታታታ... ታ ...
ያልሆንኩትን ልሆን ስጥር ስታትር ...ታሪ.ታታታ... ታ ...

ሌቱም አልፎ ሲነጋጋ
ልወቃቀስ ከራሴውጋ
ደሞ መሸ ደሞ መሸ
የእውነት የት ቀን ሸሸ
ደሞ መሸ ደሞ መሸ
የኔ ያልኩት ቀን ሸሸ
ደሞ መሸ ደሞ መሸ
የእውነት የት ቀን ሸሸ
ሳይ ቀና ብዬ ወደላይ
ሳይ ፅልመት ለብሶ ሰማይ
ሳይ ደም መስላለች ፀዐይ
ሳይ ቀና ብዬ ወደላይ
ሳይ ፅልመት ለብሶ ሰማይ
ሳይ ደም መስላለች ፀዐይ
