“Yene Konjo” lyrics
(Eshi, eshi)
Yene konjo
Coffee on the fire in the morning light
Buna smoke rising, everything feels right
You roast the beans, the whole house knows
Anchi yene konjo, wherever you go
Frankincense curling up so high
Popcorn on the tray, the neighbours stop by
You pour the first cup, you pour it for me
You pour the first cup, you pour it for me
Anchi yene konjo, all I can see
Yene konjo (eshi)
Yene konjo (eshi)
Ewedishalehu
Yene konjo
Timket in the streets, white cloth everywhere
You hold my hand in the Addis air
Your mother smiles, she tells you "eshi"
Yene konjo, you chose me
Eskista dancing, shoulders so free
Eskista dancing, shoulders so free
The whole family laughing with me
Your grandmother's hand resting on my head
"Eshi, eshi," is all that she said
Yene konjo (eshi)
Yene konjo (eshi)
Ewedishalehu
Yene konjo
Ewedishalehu (eshi)
Yene konjo
Yene konjo (eshi)
Yene konjo (eshi)
Ewedishalehu
Yene konjo
Ewedishalehu (eshi)
Yene konjo
