Happy 129th Anniversary of the Victory of Adwa!  እንኳን ለ129ኛው የአድዋ ድል በዓል አደረሳችሁ!

(Verse 1)

From the mountains of Ethiopia, where the brave hearts stood,

To the cries of freedom, where the warriors stood.

Menelik and Taytu, with fire in their eyes,

Led the charge for justice, beneath the Ethiopian skies.

The Church bells were ringing, prayers filled the air,

A nation united, in a holy affair.

With shields and spears, and faith in their hands,

They defended their homeland, the pride of their lands.

(Chorus)

Adwa, Adwa, the unbroken flame,

A beacon of hope, in the halls of fame.

From the heart of Africa, to the world it cried,

Ethiopia stands tall, with dignity and pride.

(Verse 2)

The Italians came marching, with guns and with might,

But the spirit of Ethiopia burned ever so bright.

From the hills of Adwa, the warriors arose,

With the strength of their ancestors, they faced their foes.

The Ark of the Covenant, a symbol so divine,

Guided their footsteps, through the battle line.

Priests with their crosses, and prayers so pure,

Blessed every warrior, with courage to endure.

(Chorus)

Adwa, Adwa, the unbroken flame,

A beacon of hope, in the halls of fame.

From the heart of Africa, to the world it cried,

Ethiopia stands tall, with dignity and pride.

(Bridge)

Oh, the drums of freedom, they still echo loud,

In the hearts of the people, they make us proud.

From the fields of Adwa, to the streets today,

We carry the legacy, in every way.

(Verse 3)

Now the world remembers, the victory we won,

For every Black soul, under the sun.

A symbol of resistance, a story so grand,

The only uncolonized, in a colonized land.

But the fight’s not over, the struggle remains,

For unity and justice, through the joy and the pain.

We honor the past, as we march ahead,

With the spirit of Adwa, in every step we tread.

(Chorus)

Adwa, Adwa, the unbroken flame,

A beacon of hope, in the halls of fame.

From the heart of Africa, to the world it cried,

Ethiopia stands tall, with dignity and pride.

(Outro)

So sing it loud, let the world hear the sound,

Of a nation unbroken, on sacred ground.

Adwa, Adwa, forever we’ll say,

Ethiopia’s spirit will never fade away.
