Say “Buhe”

BY KFLEEYESUS ABEBE

We were in darkness,

Missing the light a lot

We were going indoors when thunder roars

Hardtime, extreme weather

Shiverling, looking for warmth

We were separated, finding a means to connect

It shall come to an end now

Be hold, it is Buhe today

My people be happy

Rejoice!

Say Buhe Say Buhe

Say Buhe Children, Say Buhe every one!

The sky is getting clear

The sun is opening

The moon is to appear full

Say Buhe Say Buhe

Say Buhe Children Say Buhe every one!

The storm is over now

The darkness shattered

We can see the sunshine

The shepherd to meet his darling

The villagers to meet again

Say Buhe Say Buhe

Say Buhe Children Say Buhe every one!

Buhe , the good omen,

Buhe , the bearer of good news,

Buhe is dawning , a light is dawning

Say Buhe Say Buhe

Say Buhe Children Say Buhe every one!

For there is hope in the dawn

Buhe- buha amharic word meaning bald, barren or light.
