ፍየል ከቀዘነ ዲያቆን ከዘፈነ

✦

“If a goat gets thin, if a deacon sings.”

Meaning

This proverb refers to situations that are highly unusual, inappropriate, or indicative of something being fundamentally wrong or out of order. A goat becoming thin implies ill-health or neglect, and a deacon (a clergyman) singing secular songs is considered inappropriate behavior. It signifies anomalies or a departure from the expected norm.
