Ethiopian music video about Kenny B

OMG SOMEONE PLZ HOST THIS VIDEO. Find a link PLZ. Let it inspire us.

I have the video stored locally on my PC. Like Michael said it's about 64megs in size (too big even for gmail). If someone is willing to host it, I could FTP it to another server perhaps?

Go to the site below. Right click the link and select save target as to download. Have fun.

If someone else could host this soon that would be great. I don't know how long I can use up this much space.

Translator had a good translation but there were some misssed lines.. just incase anyone cared..

Left out the choruses

We gave you our blessings

We gave you our flag

If we can’t win its like death.

(Haile says)

If I line up with an injury

I will still run to help you run

Be Strong I have put faith in you,

Kenenisa says

Its to difficult - to leave you behind.

Its too difficult I turned around and looked for him (Haile)

Haile Says

Hurry up our people are longing for victory

Hurry Up our people can’t wait

Hurry Up don’t let them pass you

Hurry Up and don’t look back towards me.

Kenenisa says

Its to difficult - to leave you behind.

Its too difficult I turned around and looked for him (Haile)

Chorus

Kenenisa the lion

Kenenisa the Lion Made History

Kenenisa the lion (3 times)

Kenenisa the Lion An unforgettable history

Kenenisa

Haile

I have done all I can do

I have done it for my country

Today I get my Olympic 5 to 10 thousand sendoff

Rejoice for your flag

Glory is the testament of words

Glory, we will not let you down our Father Haile (Ethiopia)

You have Seleshi to back you up

Fight on Kenenisa

Bring swift victory and raise the flag

You are the lion of the new Era.

Haile

My country boys you have made history.

I will embrace you

Take a picture with the flag.

Write on it that history was made.

Celebrate my country brave for what we owe our Mother (Country)

I brought her gold. A gift for her glory.

Hold the flag and be proud

I brought her silver for our mother (St Mary)

Look at the king in his grace and glory (Haile)

He gave the prize to the New King (Kenenisa)

Lions - This Flag is Lucky

Today make this flag proud Kenenisa

Lion Kenenisa - Fades out

I saved the video, if anybody needs it hosted let me know I'll host it on Xdrive for free

yes please host it. i want to see it.

Somebody is already hosting it, read a bit earlier in the thread

he refers to St. Mary... is Kenenisa Catholic?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this might be worth looking at.

There was some debate on the board a while ago (i haven't seen this thread for a while actually) about how runners plant their feet. Well, you can watch the slow motion in this video and see how the best runners in the world do it :) It seems to me like they extend their feet as if they're about to land on their heels, but they bring it back down and land right on the middle of the foot (it seems like it anyway). I can't really tell, because even in slow motion it's hard to see where the weight is going, but if anyone out there wants to see what they think, this would be a great way to figure it out. Also, it seemed to me like the Kenyan runner in front was much more fluid in his running than the Ethiopians. It's kind of interesting.

The kenyan dude was lapped by the front runners. that is why his running seems fluid.

Please host it soon.

Not sure what religion kenenisa is..

But Ethiopains are about 50-60% orthodox Christian 5% Other Christian (Catholic protestant etc.,) and 40% Muslim.

Most athletes are Orthodox Christian, one way to tell is jewlery, single black strand on string or cross - a sign of cristian brotherhood during persecution in Egypt. They cross themselves before and after the race.

Don't forget about the 'falashas', or Ethiopian Jews.[quote]

I believe that Mary is very important in the Orthodox Churches; Gebre-egziabher Gebremarium means: Servant to God, Servant to Mary.

Ethiopian Orthodox ChurchEthiopian Orthodox church is the oldest of all Eastern Christianities (although Armenians would argue it). There are at least three separate bodies of Tawahedo church with their own administrations in Addis Ababa, Jerusalem and North America (also in Jamaica and Europe). Sometimes Ethiopian Orthodox Tawahedo Church is called Copic, which is due to the fact that till the early fifties the head of Ethiopian church was selected in Alexandria, Egypt and this tradition was changed under Haile Sellassie. Before the revolution the numbers of Ethiopian clergy were big, since Orthodoxy is usually very vested in monastic order. They say that during the Red Terror (1975-78) over 200 thousands monks were executed in Ethiopia. The Orthodox monk is the best expression of the difference between Western and Eastern Christianity. Without too much theology to go through, it could be said that the Orthodoxy (monophisits) believes in one nature of Christ and it is fully divine. That doctrine results in this strong division between two realities -- Man's and God's. An Orthodox believer has to make a more radical choice since there is no middle ground between Hell and Heaven. Selecting God, a monk separates himself from the earthy matters, including social and political aspects of life (which is very different from the history of the Western Christianity which not only played active political role in shaping the fate of Europe, but perhaps was the teacher of all European politics). The Orthodoxy was and is criticized for its apolitical stand, but the division between the social and divine is a deep-rooted concept, not a matter of strategy and tactics. The single nature of Christ is to emphasize that there are two world based on different priciples. The Orthodox iconography resisted the adaption of the art discoveries in realism, including the third dimension (perspective). The Orthodox painters thought that God's space and time are organized differently from our reality. The famous reversed perspective in icons (when the faraway figures are positioned on foreplan) manifests their understanding that in angelic reality "the far is close and the close is far"... There are many consequences of this principle of divinity, including the concept of Trinity and even the philosophy of history. The separation of the Western Church and the Orthodoxy is not barely historical (thousand years of Bizantine Empire), it's a theological (I would say philosophical) thought. The Orthodoxy doesn't like the "evolution," which is accepted by the Western mind. There is very little "progress" embeded in Orthodox mentality. According to this viewpoint, we do not change little by little, but the contact with God is radical and asks for a full personal transformation. In a strange way there are similarities between the Orthodoxy and the Protestant Thought, when the Church is your "personal" (not social) institution. Perhaps, because of the Orthodox attitude, Ethiopian Christianity never had full-scale holy wars and has to tendency to missionary. This Church coexisted with different rulers and regimes, lived next to Muslims and pagans and had no history of reformation or religious wars the Western Christianity went through.

My understanding is that the Muslim population has been growing faster and today they slightly outnumber the Christians. Although some of our emperors are known to have persecuted Muslims in the past, there is very little evidence of religious tension among the people today. For the record, Kenenisa and Haile are both Christians...but more importantly, they are both Ethiopians and decent human beings. =P

As of last check, Ethiopia is 45% Muslim, 40% Christian, and the remainder are split between animist and remaining Ethiopian Jews (many were are lifted to Israel in 1991).

Not sure the 40 40 number is right the censs does not take into account religion.

so they are just estimates.

If you could put it somewhere I could get at it, like on a public ftp server I think I could host it on

www.lynxelite.com

there's just no way to let you upload directly to our server.

I just did a search and found this site:

http://www.cyberware.com/samples/ftp.html

If you put it there in the dropbox directory and let me know the exact filename I should be able to get it.
