𝄆 ኤርትራ ኤርትራ ኤርትራ፡
በዓል ደማ እናልቀሰ ተደምሲሱ፡
መስዋእታ ብሓርነት ተደቢሱ። 𝄇

መዋእል ነኺሳ ኣብ ዕላማ፡
ትእምርቲ ጽንዓት ኰይኑ ስማ፡
ኤርትራ'ዛ ሓበን ውጹዓት፡
ኣመስኪራ ሓቂ ክምትዕወት።

ኤርትራ ኤርትራ፡
ኣብ ዓለም ጨቢጣቶ ግቡእ ክብራ።

ናጽነት ዘምጽኣ ልዑል ኒሕ፡
ንህንጻ ንልምዓት ክሰርሕ፡
ስልጣነ ከነልብሳ ግርማ፡
ሕድሪ'ለና ግምጃ ክንስልማ።

𝄆 ኤርትራ ኤርትራ፡

### Arabic translation

إريتريا ،إريتريا ،إريتريا،

قد دحرت بغيظهم أعداءها ،

وتوجت بالنصر تضحياتها.

على الأهداف عضت من عهود ،

غدا اسمها معجزة الصمود ،

فخر المكافحين إريتريا ،

قد برهنت أن العلا لها.

إريتريا ، إريتريا ،

تبوأت مكانها بين الأمم.

بإصرارنا الذي جنى التحرير ،

سننجز البناء والتعمير ،

لتزدهر وتلبس الوقار ،

تعهدنا أن تسمو إريتريا.

إريتريا ، إريتريا ،

تبوأت مكانها بين الأمم.

[In modo che] La dedizione suprema che ci ha portato la libertà,

servirà a ricostruirla e svilupparla,

La onoreremo con il progresso,

È la nostra eredità incoronarla.
