Genete Neh – Saron Abebe Amharic Christian Lyrics

Verse 1
Balebesew gelaye adisu yarejal
Yetech’amu igroche lela yamirachewal.
Degmo yirbewal yabelahut hode
Time qorete sil wuha temaw afe.

Verse 2
Yenuroye kwatu gedebu layimola
Sibakin sidakir biye endalker hala
Semayun eresiche midirun qontiche
Ablagn atetagn sil lesigaye rogche.

Chorus
Ayitereqa hiyiwote, aymola kifitete
Meche beqagn yawqal yihe manineté.
Bemidrawiyu aydel be’ihilina wuha
Lekas Iyesus new yemenfes fisiha.
Lekas Iyesus new yenefse fisiha.

Verse 3
Yelibe haset yewusté eriqata
Iyesus ante neh yenefse fata.
Be’ante des yilegnal hulgize haset adergalew
Yesetehegn desta fits’um new efleqeleqalew.
Be’ante des yilegnal hulgize haset adergalew
Yesetehegn tesfa fits’um new efenediqalew.

Balbelam tegibe adiralew
Baltetam erekche enoralew.
Ante kaleh min ehonalew?
Ante kaleh min ehonalew?
Berehaw lay askehegnal
Genete neh ariktehegnal.
Fiqirih bicha yibeqagnal
Megenyiteh yareqagnal.
Ante kaleh min yashagnal?
Fitih bicha yibeqagnal.

Verse 1
The new clothes I wear will one day wear out.
The shoes on my feet will long for another pair.
The stomach I have fed will become hungry again.
Even after my thirst is quenched, my mouth thirsts once more.

Verse 2
The storehouse of my earthly life can never truly be filled.
As I struggle and labor so I won’t be left behind,
I forget heaven and cling to the things of earth,
Running after my flesh, crying, “Feed me! Give me something to drink!”

Chorus
My life is never fully satisfied; my emptiness is never completely filled.
Only the One who knows my true nature knows when I will finally say, “It is enough.”
It is not earthly food or water that truly satisfies.
It is Jesus who is the joy of my spirit.
It is Jesus who is the joy of my soul.

Verse 3
The happiness of my heart and the satisfaction within me—
Jesus, You are the rest of my soul.
In You I rejoice; I will always be glad.
The joy You have given me is perfect, and I overflow with delight.
In You I rejoice; I will always be glad.
The hope You have given me is perfect, and I burst forth with praise and celebration.

Bridge
Even if I do not eat, I remain satisfied.
Even if I do not drink, I live in contentment.
If I have You, what more could I need?
If I have You, what more could I need?
You have made me sing even in the wilderness.
You are my paradise; You have satisfied me completely.
Your love alone is enough for me.
Your presence fills and satisfies me.
If I have You, what else could I desire?
Your face alone is enough for me.
