Текст и перевод песни Ejigayehu "Gigi" Shibabaw - Bale Washintu

Bale Washintu

ያገሬን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ባለዋሽንቱን
የወንዜን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ሰምቼ ድምፁን
ያገሬን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ባለዋሽንቱን
የወንዜን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ሰምቼ ድምፁን

ጎንበስ ቀና እያለ አዝመራው ከፊቴ
ቁልቁል ሲወረወር ከማዶው ፏፏቴ
ዋሽንቱን ሲጫወት ልስልስ ባለ ዜማ
ደህና ሁን አሰኘኝ ደህና ሁን ከተማ

ከግራ ገብሱን ከቀኝ ስንዴውን
አቋርጬ አልፌ ሳየው ሸጋውን
ልቤን እያመሠው የዋሽንቱ ዜማ
ደህና ሁን አሰኘኝ ደህና ሁን ከተማ

አሆ እማምዬ ደህና ሁን ከተማ
አሆ እማምዬ ተሰነባበተኝ
አሆ እማምዬ ትሰማው የለም ወይ
አሆ እማምዬ ዋሽንቱ ሲጠራኝ
አሆ እማምዬ አንተ ያገሬ ልጅ
አሆ እማምዬ መዋያህ ከማማ
አሆ እማምዬ ወጣው ካንተ ላድር
አሆ እማምዬ ሠለቸኝ ከተማ

ያገሬን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ባለዋሽንቱን
የወንዜን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ሰምቼ ድምፁን
ያገሬን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ባለዋሽንቱን
የወንዜን ልጅ አልኩኝ እሱን ሰምቼ ድምፁን

በለመለመው መስክ በወንዙ ዳርቻ
ዋሽንቱን ሲጫወት ሲተክዝ ለብቻ
ከጋራው ላይ ቆሜ ቁልቁል እያየሁት
በእርሱ ተማርኬ ከተማን ጠላሁት
ከግራ ገብሱን ከቀኝ ስንዴውን
አቋርጬ አልፌ ሳየው ሸጋውን
ልቤን እያመሠው የዋሽንቱ ዜማ
ደህና ሁን አሰኘኝ ደህና ሁን ከተማ

አሆ እማምዬ ደህና ሁን ከተማ
አሆ እማምዬ ተሰነባበተኝ
አሆ እማምዬ ትሰማው የለም ወይ
አሆ እማምዬ ዋሽንቱ ሲጠራኝ
አሆ እማምዬ አንተ ያገሬ ልጅ
አሆ ማምዬ መዋያህ ከማማ
አሆ እማምዬ ወጣው ካንተ ላድር
አሆ እማምዬ ሰለቸኝ ከተማ

ጎንበስ ቀና እያለን አዝመራው ከፊቴ
ቁልቁል ሲወረወር ከማዶው ፏፏቴ
ዋሽንቱን ሲጫወት ልስልስ ባለ ዜማ
ደህና ሁን አሰኘኝ ደህና ሁን ከተማ

ያገሬው የወንዜው ያ ሸጋው እረኛ
እንዲያው ቀብረር ያለ ጎፈሬው ደገኛ
ከብቶቹን እያየ ሲጫወት ዋሽንቱን
በደስታ ፈዝዤ አየዋለው እሱን

አሆ እማምዬ ደህና ሁን ከተማ
አሆ እማምዬ ተሰነባበተኝ
አሆ እማምዬ ትሰማው የለም ወይ
አሆ እማምዬ ዋሽንቱ ሲጠራኝ
አሆ እማምዬ አንተ ያገሬ ልጅ
አሆ እማምዬ መዋያህ ከማማ
አሆ እማምዬ ወጣው ካንተ ላድር
አሆ እማምዬ ሰለቸኝ ከተማ

ሆ!
ሆ! ...እማምዬ
ሆ!-ሆ!-ሆ!-ሆ!-ሆ! ሆ-ማምዬ!

ደህና ሁን ከተማ ተሰነባብተኝ
ደህና ሁን
ደህና ሁን ከተማ ተሰነባበተኝ
ትሰማው የለም ወይ
ዋሽንቱ ሲጠራኝ

ሆ ማምዬ ሆ ማምዬ

Bale Washintu

I listen to the one from my land, the one with the washint
I listen to the one from the highlands, I listen to his voice
I listen to the one from my land, the one with the washint
I listen to the one from the highlands, I listen to his voice

His white shirt shines as he sings in front of me
His flute resonates from his neck
He plays the washint and sings a gentle song
He makes me feel happy, he makes my city happy

From the left, teff, from the right, wheat
I stand and watch him, the shepherd
My heart melts with the sound of the washint
He makes me feel happy, he makes my city happy

Oh, my mother, my city is happy
Oh, my mother, cheer me up
Oh, my mother, don't you hear it?
Oh, my mother, the washint is calling me
Oh, my mother, you are the child of my land
Oh, my mother, your beauty is from the sun
Oh, my mother, get up and follow me
Oh, my mother, rule the city

I listen to the one from my land, the one with the washint
I listen to the one from the highlands, I listen to his voice
I listen to the one from my land, the one with the washint
I listen to the one from the highlands, I listen to his voice

In the green meadow, on the river bank
He plays the washint, alone on the mountain
I stand beside him, watching his flute
I learn from him and hate the city
From the left, teff, from the right, wheat
I stand and watch him, the shepherd
My heart melts with the sound of the washint
He makes me feel happy, he makes my city happy

Oh, my mother, my city is happy
Oh, my mother, cheer me up
Oh, my mother, don't you hear it?
Oh, my mother, the washint is calling me
Oh, my mother, you are the child of my land
Oh, my mother, your beauty is from the sun
Oh, my mother, get up and follow me
Oh, my mother, rule the city

His white shirt shines as he sings in front of me
His flute resonates from his neck
He plays the washint and sings a gentle song
He makes me feel happy, he makes my city happy

The man from my land, from the highlands, the shepherd
He is brave, like a lion without a mane
He watches over his flock, playing the washint
He is happy to see them

Oh, my mother, my city is happy
Oh, my mother, cheer me up
Oh, my mother, don't you hear it?
Oh, my mother, the washint is calling me
Oh, my mother, you are the child of my land
Oh, my mother, your beauty is from the sun
Oh, my mother, get up and follow me
Oh, my mother, rule the city

Oh!
Oh! ...my mother
Oh!-oh!-oh!-oh!-oh! Oh-mother!
Oh! Oh! Oh my mother!
Oh! Oh! Oh! My mother!

My city is happy, cheer me up
My city is happy
My city is happy, cheer me up
Don't you hear it?
The washint is calling me

Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother
