Susegnash | ሱሰኛሽ

Meaning

“Susegnash” (ሱሰኛሽ) paints love as celestial obsession—the narrator drowns in whispers of his beloved (“Your voice breathes from trees”/ድምጽሽ ይነፍሳል ከዛፍ). Teshome’s metaphors fuse nature (sky, moon, stars) with visceral hunger (“Your love devoured my insides”/አንጀቴን በልቶ), while the refrain “I’m your Susegnash” (ሱሰኛሽ) confesses addiction to an unattainable love. A jazz-infused lament blurring sacred and sensual.
