[klaiejah]

Listening to this song and watching this video always bring tears to my eyes. I just put this song on my wish list in iTunes. I have no idea what it's about but it feels like a love for these people. Can you tell me some of the lyrics. I live in Australia and know a half dozen isizulu words lol..... I know some beautiful African people and I love lots of afro music..... thanks for this pleasure.

[ybayoyo]

I am respond to you 'w' uncontrollable TEARS!

I have not listened to this sense the day I posted it!

losing TLUHUN have got me in unexpected emotions!

I have seen Aster at lest 5 times-USA:

Tluhun I had separated my self from him even though I loved his music..I felt he was DRAG/Kojite!

the wired think IS it is Mahamud the one who kept his distance but I have bought every CDs that HE have & went to EVERY concerts at least 7 times!

Gashe-Tlahun......ykrta_ykrta.­.

& REST in PEACE::

[waffiki]

he is the biggest loss for ethiopia.... telahun gessesse made us all cry. RIP

to see mahamud in the funeral was very sad, he was the saddest person crying, hitting his chest, and holding telahuns photo on his chest.

i too start liking mahamud now, he is a very soft hearted.

i think all black people are soft heart and extremelly nice.

[ybayoyo]

Don't get me Wrong I LOVE Mohamud!I was jest shacked when he won't go HOME to accept Award & for millennium!

"I stayed away for 20 years to sport you" HE SAID in DC!

IF it was years a go I wouldn't have bought CDs & went to his Concerts!

but KNOW -I GET IT- Derg/Konjit LOVE Etho too!they jest-don't get IT- A never ending WAR

is-SUICIDE for ETHO-

ie.A never ending FAMINE!

our #1 ENEMY is POVERTY!

Eritrea is not going nowhere!

ETHO needs Peace SO she may GROW then evrything is POSSIBLE::

[polino247]

@ybayoyo , It might help to bring a better peace to both Eritrea and Ethiopia, if you treat Eritrea as history, but with" Eritrea still part of Ethiopia" mentality in 2010 is just going to bring more bloodshed, poverty and drag both people back wards. Its 2010 we should be looking or ways how to get rid of our problems and aim on how to develop thru mutual relationship!!!

[MrTorolamo]

@waffiki - You are lost; Haile gave the people and the land as birthday gift-dehumanizing, Rastas fought whom? when? why? nothing like that never happened. Rather, Haile uprooted my parents to give their land to rastas as reward of their worship. The region is impacted with drug abuse epidemics and plots that used to grow food are now growing weeds for minimal cash. Thanks for the video, sweet song of Astu, the land is ever green, poverty of the people - rulers never cared for but exploited.

[waffiki]

@MrTorolamo

you are thought to hate Haile Selassie, and you seem moron to think that way. Haile selassie fought for the blacks to unite, and for the blacks to return to Africa from slavery. Because the emperor has done good for the blacks, the european-lead-propaganda are programing you and your type of people, who they know are gullible.

[MrTorolamo]

@waffiki Sorry if it is an offence for not praising the Messiah. I lived the life to witness, not propaganda. U're ignorant of reality and blind to the fact even on the video – naked POVERTY right there. What development has he done in half century of reign? One university & Qoqa dam from Italy's blood money! Who fought Italians? REMEMBER Wallo's starvation too etc. I don't hate people but their action - U got the right to worship but if u were his subject, u're eyes could have been open.

[waffiki]

@MrTorolamo

if you are a witness, then you are the biggest fool, with an empty head, who do not leave, but follow leaders to save your life. no brain to think, and no common sense to know the good and bad.

[waffiki]

Respond to this video...

and your parents are not uprooted they are lying to you( or you are lying), because the land that was given to the JAMAICANS was green but have no Ethiopians leaving there and there were no houses. and they know it was only after the Jamaicans start leaving there it is becoming populated. he gave the land where people were not leaving. and i have a proof.

[Dragondicer]

I am German, Yodit. :-)

I worked in Ethiopia for 16 months, that's when I learned to speak Amharinya (Amharic). I had lots of Ethiopian friends and I learned quickly. But my writing is still pretty bad.

I MISS ETHIOPIA!!! I love it!!

Lots of love,

Dee

I am from Las Vegas and was in Sashememe in February. Nothing but love and good vibes. Peace to the Rastas who took me in as a brother....Praise Jah Jah continually....I listened to this song over and over again while cruising around Addis....I miss you Free!

[SistaDreadi]

Can anyone please tell me the name of this track - it is absolutely beautiful. I have some Aster Aweke music but not this track.

The video footage takes me right back to Shashemene - such a long way from New Zealand in distance but still so close in heart. Bless up Ethiopia.

Thank you ybayoyo for posting this video.
