የዜግነት ክብር በ ኢትዮጵያችን ጸንቶ
ታየ ሕዝባዊነት ዳር እስከዳር በርቶ
ለሰላም ለፍትህ ለሕዝቦች ነጻነት
በእኩልነት በፍቅር ቆመናል ባንድነት
መሠረተ ፅኑ ሰብዕናን ያልሻርን
ሕዝቦች ነን ለሥራ በሥራ የኖርን
ድንቅ የባህል መድረክ ያኩሪ ቅርስ ባለቤት
የተፈጥሮ ጸጋ የጀግና ሕዝብ እናት
እንጠብቅሻለን አለብን አደራ
ኢትዮጵያችን ኑሪ እኛም ባንቺ እንኩራ።

English translation
Respect 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!
