Jegna | ጀግና

Meaning

In “Jegna,” the artist pours out heartfelt pain and emotional resilience in the face of betrayal by someone he once deeply loved and trusted. He makes it clear that his love wasn’t a mistake, but what he received in return was deceit and emotional torment. He speaks of how people mocked him, likening him to a fallen tree that no one believes will rise again, but he reminds us that even in weakness, a true warrior never stays down. Despite being wronged, he refuses to let bitterness break his spirit or dignity. His declaration of “Jegna” (hero) isn’t just a claim of strength—it’s the anthem of someone who has survived emotional ruin and emerged stronger, refusing to be defined by heartbreak or judged by appearances. Loving her may have cost him everything, but that pain also forged his unshakable core. The repetition of “Jegna” is both a lament and a bold reaffirmation of inner strength.
