Lyrics

Amharic original (Ge'ez script) Transliteration IPA transcription Oromo translation Tigrinya translation English translation

የዜግነት ፡ ክብር ፡ በኢትዮጵያችን ፡ ጸንቶ ፣
ታየ ፡ ሕዝባዊነት ፡ ዳር ፡ እስከዳር ፡ በርቶ ።

ለሰላም ፣ ለፍቅር ፣ ለሕዝቦች ፡ ነጻነት ፣
በእኩልነት ፡ በፍቅር ፡ ቆመናል ፡ ባንድነት ።
መሠረተ ፡ ጽኑ ፡ ሰብእናን ፡ 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 ።

Yäzégennät keber bä-Ityopp’yachen s’änto;
Tayyä hezbawinnät dar eskädar bärto.

Läsälam läfeteh lähezboch näs’annät,
Bä’ekkulennät bäfeqer qomänal bandennät.
Mäsärätä s’enu säbe’enan yalsharen;
Hezboch nän läsera bäsera yänoren.

Denq yäbahel mädräk yakuri qers baläbêt,
Yätäfät’ro s’ägga yäjägna hezb ennat;
Ennet’äbbeqeshallän alläbben adära;
Ityopp’yachen nuri eññam banchi ennekura!

Tabaroon lammummaa Itoophiyaa teenyatti jabaatee;
Ummattummaan daangaa hamma daangaatti ifee muldhatee.

Nagaadhaaf, haqaaf, bilisummaa ummatootaaf,
Walqixxummaafi jaalalaan dhaabbanneerra tokkummaaf.
Hunde- jabeessa namummaa hinmulqine;
Uummattoota hojiif hojiidhaan jiraanne.

Waltajjii aadaa maalalchiistuu warra hambaa buleeyyii,
Ayyaana uumamaa, harmee ummata jajjabeeyyii.
Isin ni eegna – irbuu qabna;
Itoophiyaa teenya nuuf le'i nus siin boonna!

ምኽባር ዜግነት ኣብ ኢትዮጵያና ሓያል እዩ፤
ሃገራዊ ኩርዓት ካብ ሓደ ወገን ናብ ካልእ ወገን እናበርሀ ይረአ።

ምእንቲ ሰላም፡ ምእንቲ ፍትሒ፡ ምእንቲ ናጽነት ህዝብታት፡
ኣብ ማዕርነትን ብፍቕርን ሓድነትና ደው ንብል።
ጽኑዕ መሰረት፡ ሰብኣውነት ኣይንነጽጎን ኢና፤
ብስራሕ እንነብር ሰባት ኢና።

ግርም እዩ መድረኽ ትውፊት፣ ወነንቲ ዘኹርዕ ቅርሲ፣
ተፈጥሮኣዊ ጸጋ ኣደ ጅግና ህዝቢ።
ክንከላኸለኩም ኢና - ግዴታ ኣለና፤
ኢትዮጵያና ንበር! ብኣኻ ድማ ንሕበን!

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!
