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.
