 My City My Life (Keren by Awet Aregay

My beloved City Keren,
you are my City,
You are where i come from,
you gave me my family,
you gave me my life.

My City, you are my part.
You are the city I love,
you are the city I live for,
you are my house and home.

Keren, you are my City.
You are my work,
you are my life,
you are my everything.

My City Keren, you made me braver,
you build me stronger,
you make me happier,
you are my Love.

My City, you teach me tolerance,
you Influence me to help others,
you made me ignore differences
to enjoy and live different cultures,
you are my soul.

Keren, my ancestors are inside you,
my huts are within you,
my Memories full of you,
you are my history.

My City, you are Bilen,
you are Tigre,
you are Tigrinya,
you are Eritra,
you are my country.

Keren, my Language is your slang,
people notice when i Sound,
they ask 'where you from?' my answer is Keren and proud,
you are my tongue,

I love my city and I'll always will, this city will and always will remain a part of me.
Keren

It is a genuine love 
What I have.
Filled with longing 
A sense of belonging.
Keren, your mosaic nature
Your perpetual nurture
Never to be forgotten
I identify with you
I submit to you.
Keren, a nugget of value
Something is magical about you

Your image engraved in me
Never to fade nor to erode. 
You clear my thoughts
You cleanse my soul.
You replenish my energy,
Keren your memory,
Yes indeed your mystery
Keeps me going and going.
