Ethiopia the land of our Fathers

The land where all Gouds louv to be

With them swiftly to all so then gather

His children are gathering to thee

With our red, gold and green, floating o'er us

And our Emperor to shield us from wrong

With our Goud and our future before us

We hail and we shout and we chant

Goud bless our Negus Negus I (Chorus)

Who keeps Ethiopia free

To advance to advance with truth and right

To advance to advance with Louv and light

With righteousness leading

We hail to Jah's call

Humanity pleading One Goud for us all

Ethiopia the tyrant is fallen

Who smote thee upon thy knee

And thy children are lustily calling

From over the distant sea

Jahovia the great one hath heard us

He hath noticed our sighs and our tears

With the spirit of Louv He hath stirred us

To be one in this coming year

Chorus

Oh eternal Thou Goud of all ages

Grant unto us the son that we need

And the wise-on Thou gave to the sages

When Isreal was sore in need

Thy voice through the dim past hast spoken

That Ethiopia now stretch forth her hand

And by these will all barriers be broken

And Zion bless our dear Father land
