Selam berrufi,

nice to meet you here again!

i am not sure if your request for lyrics is outdated,
but as i know the song Eshururu from Tigist Shibabaw, i was curious to
understand what she sang, therefore i found the transcription, and here it is.


My Child, My Light, My Jewel

Eshuru ruru
mamush
eshuru ruru
mamush
eshuru ruru,
Sibelam azye,
sitetam azye,
sitetam azye,
Edegligne enji
aidekkimim gelaye,
Lije yayine birhan
gete mestawte,
Lela minim yelegne
ante neh hiwote,
Angoragralehu tetwatna matta,
Eshururu lije
fikire yenealegnta,

Eshuru ruru baby boy
eshuru ruru baby boy eshuru ruru,
I carry you when I'm drinking,
I carry you when I'm eating,
I carry you when I'm eating,
My body will never get tired
as long as you're growing,
My child, my light, my jewel, my mirror,
You are my only life,
I want nothing else,
I croon every morning and every night.
singing eshururu for my beloved. _______________________________
