White for your ነጸላ (netsela)
Clean, soft and warm
matched with most of your clothing
or ጻዕዳ (tseada) for your beloved popcorn, over ቡን (bun), ሚለኑ (Milenu), some ዋታ (wata) and ወዲ ገብሩ(Wedi Gebru)
ብጫ (becha) for your reassuring smile and cheeky giggles (pre asthma irritant),
brightening every room you enter
Green for the beautiful ሹፎን (shoufon)
each with its own pattern that suits the day,
yet unmatched to the hint of patterned green and መስቀል (meskel) on your best ነጸላ (netsela)
to which you count them all,
everyone,
whispering:
ሓደ (hade),
ክልተ (kelete),
ሰለስተ (seleste),
ኣርባዕተ (arbaete),
ሓሙሽት (hamushte),
ሽድሽተ (shudushte),
ሽድሽተ (shudushte)!
“Ewaayyy!”
Yellow for your bright cardy,
perfectly fitted with small buttons
ጻዕዳ (tseada) for your big ልቢ (libi) and soul
And the last ቀጠልያ (ketel’ya)?
Well,
your lush ተኸላ (Tehela), ofcourse
ሓደ
