“Rise Ethiopia”
(A Song for Unity and Freedom)

Verse 1
From the peaks of Simien, to the Rift Valley plains,
A land unbroken, where pride remains.
Thousands of years, we stood as one,
Under the moonlight, beneath the sun.

Faithful hearts, both Christian and Muslim,
We shared our lives, through joy and wisdom.
Bound by marriage, culture, and creed,
Ethiopia stands, though others would bleed.

Chorus
Rise Ethiopia, the cradle of the free,
Unite as one, like the mighty tree.
Fano leads the fight, for all to see,
Together we’ll build a land of peace and dignity.

Verse 2
They’ve sown division with lies and despair,
Turning brother on brother, but we’re aware.
Ethnic politics, their weapon of choice,
But the youth rise now, they’ve found their voice.

Amhara, Oromo, Sidama, Tigray,
Together they march, for a brighter day.
No more to the tyrant, no more to the pain,
We’ll reclaim our future, through the storm and rain.

Chorus
Rise Ethiopia, the cradle of the free,
Unite as one, like the mighty tree.
Fano leads the fight, for all to see,
Together we’ll build a land of peace and dignity.

Bridge
Oh mountains, oh rivers, hear our plea,
Your children call for unity.
We’ve weathered the chains of neocolonial greed,
Now we rise for the peace we need.

Verse 3
Dictators crumble, their lies will fade,
For the love of Ethiopia will never degrade.
Western powers, you’ll not divide,
We stand together, with truth as our guide.

To every village, to every town,
The hope of Fano will never drown.
Freedom is near, and we’ll light the way,
For Ethiopia’s dawn, a brand new day.

Chorus
Rise Ethiopia, the cradle of the free,
Unite as one, like the mighty tree.
Fano leads the fight, for all to see,
Together we’ll build a land of peace and dignity.

Outro
Oh Ethiopia, land of the brave,
No tyrant’s rule can make us slaves.
We’ll rise as one, hand in hand,
And forever protect our cherished land.

(Repeat Chorus with Choir)
Rise Ethiopia, the cradle of the free,
Unite as one, like the mighty tree.
Fano leads the fight, for all to see,
Together we’ll build a land of peace and dignity.
