Sew Argeñ

አሞራ ወድጄ አሞራ ሆኛለው
ነብርን ወደጄ ነብር ሆኜ አውቃለው
ድብ አንበሳም ነበርኩ ከጥንት ተዋድጄ
ዛሬ ግን አቃተኝ ብርቄን ሰው ወድጄ
ሰው መሆን አልቻልኩም ብርቄን ሰው ወድጄ

ተው አንተ ሰው
ልቤን አደከምከው
ተው አንተ ሰው
ልቤን አደከምከው

ዘንድሮ ይህ መውደድ የጣለብኝ እዳ
ሰው እንዴት ይወዳል ሰውን ሳይረዳ
ፍቅር አጠናገረኝ እንደ ቀጥር ምች
መድሃኒት ፈልጉ 'ምታውቁ ሰዎች
ተው(ተው) አንተ ሰው

አሞራ ወድጄ አሞራ ሆኛለው
ነብርን ወድጄ ነብር ሆኜ አውቃለው
ድብ አንበሳም ነበርኩ ከጥንት ተዋድጄ
ዛሬ ግን አቃተኝ ብርቄን ሰው ወድጄ
ሰው መሆን አልቻልኩም ብርቄን ሰው ወድጄ

ተው አንተ ሰው
ልቤን አደከምከው
ተው አንተ ሰው
ልቤን አደከምከው
እኔም ግራ ገብቶኝ ግራ አጋባው ሰው
ፍታኝ ከዚህ ማሰር ፍታኝ አንተ ሰው
እንዲህ ከሆነማ የፍቅር ነገር
ከሃውልት ከድንጋይ ከእንጨት ልቆጠር

ተው(ተው) አንተ ሰው
ተው(ተው) አንተ ሰው

ንገረኝ አንተ ልጅ ዝም አትበለኝ ምነው
ጉንፋን እኮ አይደለም የያዘኝ ፍቅር ነው
ቀልቤ ተበታትኖ ማሰብ ተስኖኛል
ሰው አርገኝ አንተ ሰው
ሰው መሆን አቅቶኛል
ተው(ተው) አንተ ሰው
ተው ተው ተው
አንተ ሰው

My lover, a hyena, has turned into a hyena
My friend, a leopard, I know how to turn into a leopard
I used to go around as a lion and a leopard, having been in love since ancient times
But today has confused me, lightening has fallen: I love a human
I'm unable to remain human, having fallen for a human

Go away, you human
You've made my heart weary
Go away, you human
You've made my heart weary

Love, this debt I've asked of you
How can a human love without helping?
Love has tied me up like a fierce dog
Those who know, seek medicine
Go away (go away) you human

My lover, a hyena, has turned into a hyena
My friend, a leopard, I know how to turn into a leopard
I used to go around as a lion and a leopard, having been in love since ancient times
But today has confused me, lightening has fallen: I love a human
I'm unable to remain human, having fallen for a human

Go away, you human
You've made my heart weary
Go away, you human
You've made my heart weary
I have also fallen and married a donkey
Set me free from this prison, set me free, you human
If this is what love is like
I would rather count from iron, stones and wood

Go away (go away) you human
Go away (go away) you human

Tell me, child, don't be silent, what of yours?
It's not a spell that has seized me, it's love
My heart has been shaken, it can't think
You human have wounded me
You've taken away my humanity
Go away (go away) you human
Go away, go away, go away
You human
