English translation
- Respect for citizenship is strong in our Ethiopia;
- National pride is seen, shining from one side to another.
- For peace, for justice, for the freedom of peoples,
- In equality and in love we stand united.
- Firm of foundation, we do not dismiss humanness;
- We are people who live through work.
- Wonderful is the stage of tradition, mistress of proud heritage,
- Mother of natural virtue, mother of a valorous people.
- We shall protect you - we have a duty;
- Our Ethiopia, live! And let us be proud of you!
