A 1970s masterpiece of Ethiopian chivalric romance, the title translates to “You Are My Sole Confidant.” The lyrics employ imperial-era poetic devices:

• Celestial metaphor: “Like the moon’s pact with the night” (ጨረቃ ከሌሊት ጋር እንደሚጋባ) frames love as cosmic destiny

• Sacred oath: “My heart has no detours” (ልቤ ማዞሪያ የለውም) echoes royal court pledges
  The minor-key brass crescendos (a hallmark of Amha Records’ sound) musically encode tizita – the Ethiopian concept of bittersweet longing. This song became a national romantic standard, its lyrical formalities contrasting with the era’s political upheavals.
