Land of origins, pride of Africa,
Source of ancient history,
All-weather victory,
Citizens’ time-tested unity,
Well glued fraternity,
These are secrets of its achievement,
Prosperity and development,
It is capable of defeating poverty,
Undeniably with its own ability,
Merely get your hands off Ethiopia!
Let’s talk about the reality;
Ethiopia is advancing towards prosperity,
Make real bond with no violation of sovereignty,
If you would like to grow together,
With our precious land, our mother,
But if you would like to act otherwise,
Let you go or take time to think twice,
Ethiopians do not need a lapdog administration,
Lullabied or lured by piece of ration,
It is an obsolete fashion,
Well comprehend it first as it is an esteemed nation,
The motherland of Emperor Yonannes,
Emperor Tewodros, Emperor Minilik II,
The other known feminist grand,
To be vibrant and get overhaul,
Here comes Empress Taytu Bitul,
The beloved nation of Aba Jifar,
That of Kawo Tonna,
On the east portion, Emir Abdulahi,
The country has also hugged brave patriots,
In its armpits,
Allula Abanega, Geresu Dukie,
Belay Zeleke, Dej. Balcha Abanefso,
And the not yet cited ones,
If truth be told,
One is tired of listing its heroes, heroines,
The brave, patriots, real citizenry,
Who all the time condemn fraud, embezzlement
Maladministration and treachery,
In the presence of few bandits and betrays, of course,
No matter how immense the conspiracy,
Against this great nation, against its independency,
No earthly power is capable of making it disable,
Leading the nation to a state of being dismantle,
Simply, let it deal with its internal problems,
Only using its sons and daughters,
Get your hands off Ethiopia! Hands off Ethiopia!
Get twisting mentality off that makes Ethiopians oaf!
Any entity or nation a country or organization,
That can appreciate Ethiopia’s prosperity stride,
Committed leadership and bright guide,
Can apply for working together with our mom,
Others which would like to act on contrary,
Are expected to their hidden agenda bury,
And know the reality on the ground,
Which is practically run, exercised and pound,
Ethiopia would not kneel down forever,
It provides such a conspiracy with a cold shoulder,
As it has been holding betrayals, bandits and the decayed!
And it always converts misfortunes into good!
Golden opportunity and pride!
Our country has always shone out, being triumphant!!!
All Ethiopians and citizens of Ethiopian abroad,
Are getting the voice of their motherland loud,
There is of course bias and partisan,
With no ground for no reason,
Simply to get the TPLF terrorist group glad,
Some countries are working hard,
Even a range of UN agencies are working against our country,
As they are full of personnel working in favor of the betrayal,
With no work atmosphere code of ethics, with no moral,
This is not surprising since they simply pay what they shared!
If Ethiopians didn’t discard the looting group,
Some countries of the world and these UN individuals
Would prolong the repressive regime,
Sham on them!
Here after Ethiopia will never hold its journey back,
The unity of Ethiopians vanished when TPLF alive,
Being made further consolidated on its graveyard and is live.
Yes, there is time for all,
Circumstance matter, conditions determine,
When the betrayals pretended Ethiopia is their country,
Led the people under the rule of barbarian, savagery,
Under the mask of white gown,
What they had planned turns upside down,
All Ethiopians are committed to bury them far and for good!
The only thing Ethiopians request US or westerners,
Or another body holding futile attempts,
Get your hands off our country,
Let it be, in any circumstance, free,
Handle and manage its internal affairs by its own right,
To make all future mesmerizing, appealing and bright!
It is really civility, mature administration and greatness,
Say no to interference!!!
Let’s us be all independent and free,
Get your hands off our country
