| Ethiopia, the land of our fathers
|
| The land where our God love to be
|
| Like bees to their hive so they gather
|
| God’s children are gathered to thee
|
| With our red, gold and green floating for us
|
| With the Emperor to shield us from wrong
|
| With our hope and our future before us
|
| We hail and we chant and we sing
|
| God bless our Negus, Negus I
|
| And who keeps Ethiopia free
|
| To advance with truth and right, truth and right
|
| To advance with love and light, love and light
|
| With righteousness pleading
|
| We hail to our God;
|
| Humanity pleading — one God for us all
|
| One God. |
| for us all
|
| Ethiopia.
|
| Jah! |
| Rastafari!
|
| Almight God! |
