Zim

በቀረብኝ ምነው ባላነሳሁ እግሬስ ቢቀጣ ቀልቤ ቢሰበሰብ ቀድሞ
ለስሜቴ ከምሸነፍ ልቤ ረክቶ ላይረካ በእንባ ከሚታጠብ ታሞ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው አ አ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው

ባላወቅሁት ምነው ባላነሳሁ እግሬስ ቢቀጣ ቀልቤ ቢሰበሰብ ቀድሞ
ለስሜቴ ከምሸነፍ ልቤ ረክቶ ላይረካ በእንባ ከሚታጠብ ታሞ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው አ አ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው

በዲዮጋን ማሾ ያልተገኘች ወፍ
አትሁኚብኝ ባይሆን አብሬሽ ልክነፍ
አንቺ አልወጣሽ ካልጋ አላየሽ ሌላ ሰው
ይብላኝ ማለት እንጂ እንደኔ ላለ ሰው

እውነቱን ነግሬሽ (ወይኔ ወይኔ ወይኔ)
ሰምተሺው ከራሴ
አይልመድህ ብለሽ አዝነሽ ለመንፈሴ
ይቅር ስትይኝ ነው የምትረጋው ነብሴ
እንዲህ ከተባለ እናውጋ በምኩራብ
መቼም የዋህ ልብሽ መታገስ አያጣም
ተጎዳ አንድ በይው ልቤን በጣም በጣም

ዝም ዝም አለና ሊኖር
ዝም ዝም ክፉ እንዳልሰራ
ዝም ዝም መች ቻለ ልቤ
ዝም ዝም ዝምታን ፈራ
ዝም ዝም አለና ሊኖር
ዝም ዝም ክፉ እንዳልሰራ
ዝም ዝም አቃተው ልቤ
ዝም ዝም ዝምታን ፈራ

በቀረብኝ ምነው ባላነሳሁ እግሬስ ቢቀጣ ቀልቤ ቢሰበሰብ ቀድሞ
ለስሜቴ ከምሸነፍ ልቤ ረክቶ ላይረካ በእንባ ከሚታጠብ ታሞ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው አ አ
ለካ ለዚህ ነው የቀበጥኩት ለካ ለዚህ ነው

ቢያዳልጠኝ ስሜት እግሬን ለደቂቃ
ዛሬ አፍራለች ነብሴ ከፀፀት ማጥ ወድቃ
አንቺ አልወጣሽ ካልጋ አላየሽ ላለ ሰው
ይብላኝ ማለት እንጂ እንደኔ ላለ ሰው

እውነቱን ነግሬሽ (ወይኔ ወይኔ ወይኔ)
ሰምተሺው ከራሴ
አይልመድህ ብለሽ አዝነሽ ለመንፈሴ
ይቅር ስትይኝ ነው የምትረጋው ነብሴ
እንዲህ ከተባለ እናውጋ በምኩራብ
መቼም የዋህ ልብሽ መታገስ አያጣም
ተጎዳ አንድ በይው ልቤን በጣም በጣም

ዝም ዝም አለና ሊኖር
ዝም ዝም ክፉ እንዳልሰራ
ዝም ዝም መች ቻለ ልቤ
ዝም ዝም ዝምታን ፈራ
ዝም ዝም አለና ሊኖር
ዝም ዝም ክፉ እንዳልሰራ
ዝም ዝም አቃተው ልቤ
ዝም ዝም ዝምታን ፈራ
ዝም ዝም አልልም
ዝም ዝም አልልም
ዝም ዝም አልልም
ዝም ዝም አልልም እኔ
ዝም ዝም አልልም
ዝም ዝም አልልም እኔ
ዝም ዝም
ዝም ዝም
ዝም ዝም

Zim

Why have you risen to stand by my side, when your feet will tire, and your heart will grow cold just as mine did before you?
Who have you come to conquer with your heart, so pure and untainted, so sweet and full of love?
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why, oh oh
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why

Why have you risen to stand by my side, when your feet will tire, and your heart will grow cold just as mine did before you?
Who have you come to conquer with your heart, so pure and untainted, so sweet and full of love?
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why, oh oh
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why

A bird that was never found in any cage
Don't lie to me, my love, my heart's desire
You didn't escape the cage, and you haven't seen anyone else
You say you want to eat me, but there's no one like me

Tell me the truth (oh, oh, oh)
Hear it from me myself
You said you wouldn't hurt me, but you have broken my spirit
When you forgive me, is that when your heart will heal?
If this is what it means to be in love, then I'm afraid
Your beautiful heart will never stop aching
You have hurt me so deeply, my love

Be quiet, be quiet
Be quiet, I didn't do anything wrong
Be quiet, my heart is breaking
Be quiet, be quiet, be afraid of the silence
Be quiet, be quiet
Be quiet, I didn't do anything wrong
Be quiet, you have hurt me
Be quiet, be quiet, be afraid of the silence

Why have you risen to stand by my side, when your feet will tire, and your heart will grow cold just as mine did before you?
Who have you come to conquer with your heart, so pure and untainted, so sweet and full of love?
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why, oh oh
No, this is why I have cried, no, this is why

My emotions will paralyze me for a moment
Today, my heart is afraid of the cold, harsh truth
You didn't escape the cage, and you haven't seen anyone else
You say you want to eat me, but there's no one like me

Tell me the truth (oh, oh, oh)
Hear it from me myself
You said you wouldn't hurt me, but you have broken my spirit
When you forgive me, is that when your heart will heal?
If this is what it means to be in love, then I'm afraid
Your beautiful heart will never stop aching
You have hurt me so deeply, my love

Be quiet, be quiet
Be quiet, I didn't do anything wrong
Be quiet, my heart is breaking
Be quiet, be quiet, be afraid of the silence
Be quiet, be quiet
Be quiet, I didn't do anything wrong
Be quiet, you have hurt me
Be quiet, be quiet, be afraid of the silence
Be quiet be quiet
Be quiet be quiet
Be quiet be quiet
Be quiet be quiet, I can't
Be quiet be quiet
Be quiet be quiet, I can't
Be quiet
Be quiet
Be quiet
