I can't give you a literal translation. However, "tezeta" means nostalgia or memories in Amharic. Its a common theme to a lot of older Ethiopian music. He is talking about all his memories and the nostalgia coming back to him. There is a few other songs called Tezeta out there by different artists. Check them out. I think they all capture a similar feeling.
I wish we have a music that sound like tizita in somali or in oromo i will be writing a very unique song or the only one of its kind in somali. but i don't know if the somalis will like, may be those from ogaden region in Ethiopia they may like it.
this is a real tizita song that remanding me my childhood not for a love stories,just my home town JIJIGA 33 YEARS AGO. i hope now i can go back for some time.
Ahmddin, Gecho is still alive and well currently performing on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays late evenings at Queen of Sheba Restuarant in Washington DC. When you get a chance, come and check him out, his voice and energy is still intact!!!
