Ethiopia, be happy thanks to the power of God and your ruler. Your brave citizens are unanimous; your freedom will never be touched, as your mountains are defiant and your natives do not fear any enemy. Long live our victorious ruler to the glory of our country. Your mountains are defiant and your natives do not fear any enemy. Long live our victorious ruler to the glory of our country.
