The pride of Africa,
It’s water tower, too,
Continental development, growth symbol,
Via kicking invaders as a ball,
All the time drives towards its goal,
Many have emancipated from oppression,
Firmly following Ethiopia’s fruition,
Due to stiff independent direction,
The majestic look of the Red Sea coast,
Despite being landlocked,
Has been working to be the best,
Shining as a star in the East,
The owner of livable history,
Records all time victory,
Remains an ever-green tree,
Keeping its sovereignty,
Overcoming all the pity,
As a result of citizens’ unanimity,
Yes, unity fosters sovereignty,
Amity nurtures solidarity,
Invaders tried to conquer it,
So many times with no limit,
Attempted to twist its arms,
To pull towards the direction they would love,
But they had never have,
Even won’t have,
Due its sons and daughters’ unwavering stance,
Relentless effort,
To make it the ever sovereign nation,
Believing in working together, cooperation,
Long live Ethiopia, its patriots,
Working for its independence as,
Sovereignty matters,
Doesn’t follow fashion against its local culture,
Instead endeavors to boost own and nurture,
Because it is a pride,
And an independent guide,
Long live Ethiopia,
All its citizens,
Unity, harmony and fraternity,
They do construct cornerstones of autonomy.
Combating all the gloomy,
Ethiopians all the time enjoy unifying,
Unity, unity, unity,
Since it is the source and/or of the foundation,
Of comprehensive sovereignty,
With an undying possibility
