Lyrics - Transliteration
(Ethiopian folk song)
Wendemy Yakob, wendemy Yakob,
Tegnah wey? Tegnah wey?
Dewil tedewele, Dewil tedewele,
Tenesa, tenesa
English Translation – My brother Jacob
My brother Jacob, my brother Jacob
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
The bell rang, the bell rang
Arise, arise
Amharic – ወንድሜ ያቆብ
ወንድሜ ያቆብ,. ወንድሜ ያቆብ
ተኛህ ወይ ? ተኛህ ወይ ?
ደውል ተደወለ, ደውል ተደወለ
ተነሳ, ተነሳ
