Getachew Kassa's 39 Comments

Eneeeeee wedeshaaalew…. aydelemmm dendeedede dedendeeem aydelemm!

I recall 1988, the Hibret Tireet TV program comes one and this fancy looking skinny old man comes out to the foam, bubbles and fluorescent lights while consequently  moving his fist up down & up down.

I remember thinking that it had to be the best Amharic music video I have ever seen. And then I heard the song, wowzers amazing…. I had no idea what ‘keleb YemeneChe WuneteGna Semet or Fiqir’ was but I still felt it. I was running around all of that summer singing ‘Eneee Wedeshaalehu’ and pumping my fist.

Its good to say I finally know what he is talking about, I felt it once I think. To me this is one of the greatest Amharic songs all time.

    countless times we would make fun of this song as littl’uns running around our gebi engaging in our version of “sitting under the tree, K I S S I N G” teasing. i would have never guessed i would be commenting on it in the next millenium…wey tizita

    nolawi… i just got what you said… I THINK

    dude is saying “aydelem yehaset” …. he is not saying “i wuv you, no?”, but saying “my luuuv for u is for real, fo real”.

  8. 8 Nolawi

    Oh my goodnes are you serious all this time I was thinking that it was like a question?

    ha ha ha… woy gud, you are right… gin why is the dedendedede ( sax) inbeetewwn the sentence..

    and to think I’ve listened to this song many A times

  9. 9 Temelkach

    Shalom,
    Mayyyyyyn! I’ve listened to this song a million n’ one times and never noticed. tks for the lesson…I’ve never paid attention to the “ye’hasset” part of it…I guess cos of the sax in between the two words, I always stopped paying attention after aydelem…..now that I heard it…

    but nothing beats the lines starting with “be’geza andebete…”..you can just feel his desperation…

    Unfortunately I don’t recall this memory that so many of you have, maybe it’s because my years in Ethiopia were limited. However, I can identify with the feeling an ET song brings back or causes you to have. Although I’m sure this is a lovely song in its right, I must say the best ET song EVER is “tizita.” There is something about Mahmoud’s voice that awakens the soul. You feel the feelings he’s talking about.
    Even though I’m too young to remember when the song came out, it still brings back memories of Ethiopia. I remember our house, the streets and jelati, shamaene, wondoghnet and my mom and her friends listening to the song, hot days and the quite afternoons.
    And the lyrics of the song, “bal-lal-shefet lal-lalf lesew tenagre, eketlesh gemre fikrish gebto begre. I don’t even do it justice just writing one line. The whole song from beginning to end is filled with lyrics that simply great. “You agree Nolawi, No?!”

    on the top right hand side…ENJOY!

  15. 15 Temelkach

    yenehuletsantim, I definately second that…Tizita is indeed one of the greatest classics that most ppl sorta find boring as a kid and learn to love it as an adult.

    Getachew Kassa is one of the best singers alive. I love all his songs but “Yekereme Fikir” is the best of all.
