የዜግነት ክብር በኢትዮጵያችን ፀንቶ
Respect for citizenship is strong in our Ethiopia;
ታየ ህዝባዊነት ዳር እስከዳር በርቶ
National pride is seen, shining from one side to another.
ለሰላም ለፍትህ ለህዝቦች ነፃነት
For peace, for justice, for the freedom of peoples,
በእኩልነት በፍቅር ቆመናል ባንድነት
In equality and in love we stand united.
መሰረተ ፅኑ ሰብዕናን ያልሻርን
Firm of foundation, we do not dismiss humanness;
ህዝቦች ነን ለስራ በስራ የኖርን
We are peoples who live through work.
ድንቅ የባህል መድረክ ያኩሪ ቅርስ ባለቤት
Wonderful is the stage of tradition, mistress of proud heritage,
የተፈጥሮ ፀጋ የጀግና ህዝብ እናት
Mother of natural virtue, mother of a valorous people.
እንጠብቅሻለን አለብን አደራ
We shall protect you – we have a duty;
ኢትዮጵያችን ኑሪ እኛም ባንቺ እንኩራ።
Our Ethiopia, live! And let us be proud of you!
