EMPRESS BERHAN MOGASA

The fingerprint of life

Sounded very good,

And the flash of death

Appeared very dim,

 

Yet the sparrow led me

To the mighty stream

That has no source,

 

Yes, the appearance of the

Stream was very good,

Yet she came around

With her immaculate ***

 

Yes, she was in a flabby

Kente cloth which looked very dense,

Yet she came around

With her pleasant beacon,

 

Ah, look again,

This mighty tree has no roots

The shadow that can quench

The darts of the true enemy,

Has created a new wave of love,

 

See how I have grown to read

Between her apron white teeth,

For her bark looked black,

Because white was not yet beautiful,

 

This story must be told,

Oh yes, she must be known

By the ancestors and the Gods,

She is indeed the true

Likeness and image of Kabutuwaa,

 

Stir straight down the valley

And observe how beautiful

Her emperor Majesty of Ethiopia is,

 

Indeed, Montewab , She that bears

The eternal edible fruits of Africa

Is the fir of life,

 

Now that I have found

Empress Berhan Mogasa,

I am assuaged to rain against drought.
