Actually the song I was looking for was the one that went:
በለው በለው በለው በለው በለው
በለው በለው በለው
በለው በለው በለው በለው በለው
በለው በለው በለው
አትለውም ወይ አትመታውም ወይ
በሀገር የመጣ ይታለፋል ወይ
በለው በለው
One of the old የቅስቀሳ ዘፈኖች. Couldn’t find it on YouTube, hence ቱቱዬ.
[Update 08/24/16: found በለው በለው 🙂 ]
Nitric oxide, NO, is a molecule that plays an important role in learning and memory, defense against microbes and blood vessel dilation and subsequently increased blood flow to a region. Erections are the handiworks of NO secretion and its downstream lackeys. That’s how our region gets to be that way, and the following dilemma solved:
Taken from (የስብሃት ገብረእግዚአብሔር) ማስታወሻ. ዘነበ ወላ.
Lately my posts have tried to break from the usual theme and I have tried to infuse into them as much learned ቁምነገር as possible. However, I see to my consternation that I keep on gravitating to the same old shit. But I can’t help it. Nobody (Keith Sweat voice) can. I mean, students from prestigious universities in the country were parading around campus, carrying the slogan “NO means yes yes means….” I am not condoning their action in any way. I am just saying that at least they have kind of got the mechanics of the thing right. NO has been known to elicit a barrage of yes! yes! yes! (Roughly translated to በለው በለው በለው since አዎ አዎ አዎ won’t do)
Wait, have I blogged on this thing before? ይገርማል, መገረብ ጀመርኩ አይደል?!
እስቲ ትንሽ ቁምነገር ልሞክር
The trouble with Ethiopia
The trouble with Ethioipia resides in the name itself: E-thio-pia. The presence of thio in the name of a molecule is indicative of the presence of sulfur. Despite sulfur being essential for life, its compounds have a reputation for very bad smell. Think mercaptoethanol, rotten eggs, brimstone (hell),…Strange thing is that I have seen sulfur being traditionally prescribed as የቡዳ መድሃኒት:: እሾህን በሾህ ማለት ነው::
So, my country has got sulfur in its name. This is not smack talk, just because I have been in a foreign country for one hundred days. We need to take the stink out of the name, that’s all I am saying. ገጽታ ግንባታ at the most fundamental level. The more reason to take up the way of writing put forward by GeTere sometime ago: Etyopia.
And about the multiple mentions of Ethiopia in the bible:
- They are accounts of geography, racism, cases of about-to-smite when all of the sudden the party that was to be smitten repents to the Lord and Ethiopian asses get kicked, a couple of eunuchs, natural resources which are possible sources of conflict, subjugation, shame and dire warnings. Hardly stuff to brag about.
- They are not about just us. They are about black people who live south of Egypt, which we happen to be part of.
Next post is going to focus on one of the things Etyopia has got going for her.
One of my short term life goals, to dance to this:
I thought it was a new release. I wonder why they did not play it in the club next door back when I was home. Personally and Chop my money were the ones that were on heavy rotation.
And some revolution:
