The lyrics for "Yearategnaw Tatsh" by Madingo Afework is about a relationship that is struggling to remain strong due to doubt, miscommunication, and insecurity. In the first verse, the singer emphasizes the need for communication and understanding between partners. They repeat the word "godanaw" (meaning "road" in Amharic) multiple times, as if to stress that a relationship is like a journey and requires constant effort to keep going. The second line expresses a desire for love and attention, but also hints at doubt and suspicion caused by past disappointments.
In the second verse, the singer addresses their partner directly, indicating a strong emotional connection between them. The repetition of "goredanaw" and the phrase "geremegn" (meaning "touch me") hints that intimacy is a vital part of their relationship, yet their doubts and fears may be interfering with their ability to connect. The singer’s partner, either knowingly or unknowingly, seems to be pushing them away, causing pain and heartache.
In the last verse, the singer seeks reassurance from their partner and expresses their feelings of insecurity and vulnerability, asking what they have done wrong and what their partner wants from them. However, they also assert their own worth and value, reminding their partner that they are deserving of love and affection. The repetition of the line "yewetagnawi tatsh" (meaning "we'll be together" in Amharic) in the end gives a hopeful note, suggesting that despite the difficulties, the relationship may still have a chance.

Even in the face of difficulties, I will always be devoted to you
አብረን እንኑር እና እስኪ አምኜሽ ልጥፋ
I promise to stand by you and love you, no matter what challenges we face
ቀን ማጣት ምጻት ነው አንቺ መመለሻ
Every moment spent together is a precious memory, my love
እባክሽ እባክሽ ታረቂኝ
Oh, my love, you are exceptional
