Ertra, Ertra, Ertra,

Beal dema'nalkese tedem sisu,

Meswaéta bharnet tdebisu.

Mewaél nekhisa'b élame

Témrti tsnat koynu sma,

Ertra za haben wtsuat,

Ameskira haki kem téwet.

CHORUS

Ertra, Ertra,

Abalem chebitato gbué kbra.

TRANSLATION

Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea,

Her enemy decimated

And her sacrifices vindicated by liberation.

Steadfast in her goal,

Symbolising endurance,

Eritrea, the pride of her oppressed people,

Proved that the truth prevails.

CHORUS

Eritrea, Eritrea

Holds her rightful place in the world.
