[Verse 1]
Incense in the room
Old drum on the floor
Grandma’s voice on a record
Spinning tales from before
Coffee steam in the sunrise
Worn flag on the wall
She say
“Child
Stand steady
Even when you fall”
[Chorus]
Lion heart
Beating slow
From Addis hills to the valley below
Carry that fire
Let the river flow
Ethiopian soul in a sweet R&B glow
[Verse 2]
Braids tied up in a wrap
Gold cross on your chest
You hum that ancient rhythm
Over my shoulder
You rest
Your laugh breaks through the silence
Soft storm in the night
We move like prayer and protest
Holding on to the light
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We sway in Amharic and English
Same love
Different tongue
But it’s ours
You trace maps on my wrist so gentle
Like rivers running home through the scars
[Chorus]
Incense in the room
Old drum on the floor
Grandma’s voice on a record
Spinning tales from before
Coffee steam in the sunrise
Worn flag on the wall
She say
“Child
Stand steady
Even when you fall”
[Chorus]
Lion heart
Beating slow
From Addis hills to the valley below
Carry that fire
Let the river flow
Ethiopian soul in a sweet R&B glow
[Verse 2]
Braids tied up in a wrap
Gold cross on your chest
You hum that ancient rhythm
Over my shoulder
You rest
Your laugh breaks through the silence
Soft storm in the night
We move like prayer and protest
Holding on to the light
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We sway in Amharic and English
Same love
Different tongue
But it’s ours
You trace maps on my wrist so gentle
Like rivers running home through the scars
[Chorus]
A zene stílusa
Smoky roots-R&B blend at mid-tempo: dubby bass, soft rimshots, airy organ skank on the offbeat, and warm electric piano chords. Male vocals ride lazy, behind-the-beat phrasing; stacked call-and-response harmonies on the hook with subtle Amharic ad-libs. Percussion sprinkles shakers and nyabinghi-inspired drums; reverb-drenched guitar licks answer the vocal. Chorus widens with pads and a round, melodic bass lift, then strips to bass + vocal for the final outro., slow, remix
