“Negen Layew” is a deeply reflective song about moving forward, leaving behind emotional burdens, and embracing the future with renewed hope. The lyrics express a farewell to past struggles and regrets, urging the listener to focus on what lies ahead rather than dwelling on yesterday’s pain. The repeated phrase “በዓይኖቼ እስካይ” (until my eyes see) symbolizes anticipation for a brighter tomorrow, reinforcing the song’s theme of perseverance and optimism. Eyob Mekonnen’s soulful reggae rhythm amplifies the song’s message, reminding us that life is fleeting, and true happiness comes from living in the present while looking ahead with purpose and determination.
