Merry Christmas
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Soon coming Christmas with golden crown
What a delightful experience
Saying Merry Christmas to one another
Will bring light to all human beings
Christmas reminds all
Christ was born in the manger
He was appeared to the shepherds
Here the melody sung as Happy Christmas
To all man kind
There are many who left behind
With no Christmas light under their roof
They too need to be conveyed with this message
“Merry Christmas!”
Cheerful welcoming to families and friends
May the heart commemorate as well
To those who didn’t make it
They too deserve Merry Christmas
I too wishing everyone close or in a distance
‘Melkam Genna’ with the same connotation
Merry Christmas!
"In any case, Jesus was born at night, in some sort of keeping-place for animals. After Jesus was delivered, Mary His mother wrapped Him in cloths and laid Him in a manger (Luke 2:7).
Later that same night, shepherds from nearby fields found Him just as the angels told them they would (Luke 2:10–12)."
