Ertra, Ertra, Ertra

Ertra, Ertra, Ertra on Eritrean kansallislaulu.  Laulu otettiin käyttöön pian maan itsenäistyttyä vuonna 1993. Laulun on sanoittanut Solomon Tsehaye Beraki ja sen ovat säveltäneet Isaac Abraham Meharezghi ja Aron Tekle Tesfatsion. Laulu on kirjoitettu tigrinjaksi, jota kirjoitetaan yleensä etiopialaisella ge'ezin kirjoituksella.

Käännös englanniksi
Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea,
Her Nemesis destroyed while wailing,
her sacrifices vindicated by freedom.

Forever firm in her principles,
her name became a synonym of tenacity,
Eritrea, the pride of the oppressed,
is a testament that truth prevails.

Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.

[So that] The supreme dedication that brought us freedom,
will serve to rebuild her and develop her,
We shall honor her with progress,
It is our legacy to crown her.

Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.
