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 peoples 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! |
