Lyrics
Amharic original (Ge'ez script)TransliterationIPA transcriptionEnglish translationRespect 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, owners of a proud heritage,
Natural grace, mother of a valorous people.
We shall protect you – we have a duty;
Our Ethiopia, live! And let us be proud of you!

Oromo translationTigrinya translationKabajni lammummaa Itoophiyaa keenya keessatti cimaadha;
Boonuun sabaa ni mul’ata, gama tokkoon gara gama biraatti ibsaa.

Nagaadhaaf, haqaaf, bilisummaa ummatootaaf,
Walqixxummaa fi jaalalaan tokkummaan dhaabbanna.
Bu’uura jabaannee, dhala namaa hin tuffannu;
Nuti namoota hojiin jiraannudha.

Ajaa'iba sadarkaa duudhaa, abbootii qabeenyaa hambaa boonsaa,
Ayyaana uumamaa, haadha ummata goota.
Isin ni eegna – dirqama qabna;
Itoophiyaan keenya jiraadhu!  Akkasumas siin haa boonnu!ምኽባር ዜግነት ኣብ ኢትዮጵያና ሓያል እዩ፤
ሃገራዊ ኩርዓት ካብ ሓደ ወገን ናብ ካልእ ወገን እናበርሀ ይረአ።

ምእንቲ ሰላም፡ ምእንቲ ፍትሒ፡ ምእንቲ ናጽነት ህዝብታት፡
ኣብ ማዕርነትን ብፍቕርን ሓድነትና ደው ንብል።
ጽኑዕ መሰረት፡ ሰብኣውነት ኣይንነጽጎን ኢና፤
ብስራሕ እንነብር ሰባት ኢና።

ግርም እዩ መድረኽ ትውፊት፣ ወነንቲ ዘኹርዕ ቅርሲ፣
ተፈጥሮኣዊ ጸጋ ኣደ ጅግና ህዝቢ።
ክንከላኸለኩም ኢና - ግዴታ ኣለና፤
ኢትዮጵያና ንበር!  ብኣኻ ድማ ንሕበን!
