Poetry
Walaloo finfinnee
Finfinneen kun eenyu?
Moo, Addis abebaa beektuu?
Ce’umsi argamakee
Irraanfattee firakee
Sirraa muree handhuurakee
Siif moggaase maqaakee
Si mullisee jiraakee
Hamaa sirraa ari’ee
Gaariin sirraan bari’ee
Kun marti sirra taree
Gaafa barri siif dabe
Gadheen sirratti wal makte
Maqaa abbaa kee dagattee
Hundeeffamni maqaakee
Achii dhufaan seenaakee
Eenyuun akka abuuramtee
Gaafuma bu’uurumaa deebitee ugguramtee
Wal keessa bulbulamtee
Akka waan dhi’oo argamtee
Maqaa haaratti cuubamtee
Abaaboon haaradha duruu
Dacheen tuulamaa martuu
Eessaa reefu argattuu?
Taa’ee itti yaadamee
Argannoo dura argamee
Ittumaan jiraatamee
Addis abebaa yenyaa no
Ya minilik lifaatii
Jetti sanyiin abashaadhaa keessa dashaatii
Aannaaqin maqaa jalqabaatii
Baruma dhiyoo kanaa
Nuti isa durii jennaa
Tufaan qonna qotataa
Gullallee bosona ciree
Bineensa irraa hari’ee
Egaa kanaan hin teenye
Seenaa jaarraan qorannee
Agamsatti duulanii
Markaatoo moggaasanii
Daalattiin dirree balloo jedhamtee
Arat kiiloon hurufa boonbii jiddaa maaf jedhamtee
Jaan meedaa caffee Aannanii meksiikoo jedhamte
Golboo naannessoo maddii cerqoosin maalif taati
Finfinneen gaaddisa odaa jedhamte seenaan maaf hinkatabnee.
