[Oromo] When We’re Gone (Human Anthem)

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]
Hmmmm…
Ohhh…
Tokkicha yeroon keenya…
Maaltu hafuuf jira…

[Verse 1]
Karaa kana waliin deemna, yeroon keenya dabaruu,
Guutuu jireenya keessa, sirba jalaa samii.
Kan qabnu hundi, kan itti boonnu,
Nyaapha keessa dhokatu — garuu jaalalli jira.

Onnee dadhabe ol kaafnee?
Namni kufe ka'uuf gargaaree?
Dabalata kenninee?
Harka gargar baafnee?

[Pre-Chorus]
Dhugaan dhuma irratti,
Qabeenyaan miti, humnaan miti,
Jireenyaan kaayyoo keenya keessa tuqne…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]
🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — maal hafuuf jira?
Jaalala kenninee moo aarii calqisa?
Onnee hunda, jireenya hunda beekne —
Addunyaa nuuf hafne yeroo darbine.

🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — ni ka’u?
Onnee jabaa fi ijaa bananee?
Lubbuun gargaaree guddate —
Bari’uuf yeroo darbine.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)
Yeroo darbine… yeroo darbine…

[Verse 2]
Addunyaa kana waliin qooddanne, laafaa garuu bareeda,
Hojii tola ooltummaa tokko ibidda ifa dabalata.
Namni tokko hin kophaa deemu yoo ilaaluuf filanne,
Jireenya kee fi koo walitti hidhata.

Mucaa biraa barsiisi,
Akka itti dhimmamu agarsiisi,
Beekumsa caalaa kenni —
Abdiin qoodadhu.

[Pre-Chorus]
Kan onnee namaa dhaabnu,
Jireenya keenya caalaa jira,
Sagalee yeroon keenya caalu…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]
🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — maal hafuuf jira?
Jaalala kenninee moo aarii calqisa?
Onnee hunda, jireenya hunda beekne —
Addunyaa nuuf hafne yeroo darbine.

🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — ni ka’u?
Onnee jabaa fi ijaa bananee?
Lubbuun gargaaree guddate —
Bari’uuf yeroo darbine.

👉 (Choir Layer)
Ka’aa… ka’aa… ni ka’u…

[Bridge – Choir + Global Voices]
(Soft → Massive Build)
Ohhh…

Halkaan gara garaatti ce’umsa…

Sagalee kee ol kaasi — kan dhufuuf,
Intala hunda, ilmaa hunda.
Kan kenninu karaa isaanii ta’ee,
Boruu har’a tolchina.

Dhiphina hin jiruu, qoqqooddinsa hin jira,
Tokkicha — walitti kaana.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]
🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — maal hafuuf jira?
Jaalala kenninee moo aarii calqisa?
Onnee hunda, jireenya hunda beekne —
Addunyaa nuuf hafne yeroo darbine.

🌍 Yeroon keenya darbee — ni ka’u,
Abdiin isaanii ijaa keessatti.
Lubbuun gargaaree guddate —
Bari’uuf yeroo darbine.

👉 (Final Choir Chant)
Tokkicha… tokkicha…

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]
Tokkicha yeroon keenya…
Wal gargaaraa…
