Ere Mela Mela

Endew mela mela, ere mela
Endew mela mela, mela mela
Alfeligim fikir kanchi lela

(What to do with this issue, this issue
What to do with this issue, this issue
I don't want love other than you)

Qiteren yilugnal, sewoch saygebachew
Tirfbota yelem, bilesh nigeriachew
Tenserafteshibet, baymiroye guada
Anchin yet adrigey, liqebel engida

("Hire us" they say to me, people who don't understand
Just tell them here is no open place
You've take up all the room in my mind
Where would I put you to accept a guest)

Libe Kelibish gar
Behasab tegenangto
Sigelagel aderku
Yanchi bene tintu

That my heart and your heart
Are joined in our thoughts
I reassure myself before sleeping
I am yours even in my old age

Ehil ayibelagn, aytimegn muziqa
Desitaye anchi nesh, teredawit beka

(The grain won't go down, the music has lost its taste
My happiness is you, I have finally learned)

Yehakimoch bizat, minim alderagni
Beshitaye anchi nesh, beqirb atigegni
Berabeng Betemang, minaminu belawu
Tigabe kanchi gar, Mehonu mech atahu

(The many doctors I've seen, won't help me at all
My sickness is you, since you are not near
Though I hunger and thirst, I eat whatever
That my fullness is by your side, how can I not know?)
