ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደርቦ ጋገረው
ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደራርቦ ጋገረው

እንጀራ ጋጋሪ አዋቂ ሰው ነው
እርሾ የወርቅ ጥሩ ከምን አገኘው
ከወርቅና ከሰም ደራራቦ ጣፈኝ
ልቆ ተጠብቦ በድንቁ ሰራኝ
ቅኔ መሪ ጌታ በቅኔ ይቀኝ
ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደርቦ ጋገረው
ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደራርቦ ጋገረው

ውበት ባለችበት ውበት ትኖራለች
ብርሀን ባለችበት ብርሀን ትኖራለች
ደግነት ባለበት ደግነት ይኖራል
ኑር ብለው ያኖሩት ካኖሩት ይገኛል
ሰው ካለማወቁ ሰውነት ይማራል

ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደርቦ ጋገረው
ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደራርቦ ጋገረው

ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደራርቦ ጋገረው
ቅኙት ባለቅኔ ቅኔን ተቀኘው
ወርቅን በሰሙ ላይ ደርቦ ጋገረው
የደግሰው አፉ ፍኖተ ሰላም
በቅን መንገድ ሂዶ ቀኘው ዘላለም
ከፍ ሲሉ ዝቅ ዝቅ ሲሉ ከፍ
ከፍ ሲሉ ዝቅ ዝቅ ሲሉ ከፍ
ቁልቁለት ወርጄ ደረስኩኝ ተ'ፋፍ

[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver
[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver

The injera maker is a wise person
Where can I find gold better than the one on you?
Make me round with gold and silver
Cook me well and serve me hot
[O Lord] the leader of the horn, may you bless me with a horn
[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver
[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver

She lives with beauty where beauty is
She lives with light where light is
She lives with kindness where kindness is
Light can be found in those that exist
A person learns humanity by not knowing

[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver
[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver

[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver
[Connection with a horn] I wish to have a horn
I wish to apply gold upon silver
The mouth of the one who appreciated me is a source of peace
May you live forever by following the path of the horn
When they say high, low; when they say low, high
When they say high, low; when they say low, high
My beloved bird, I have arrived, let us fly
