Ethiopia National Anthem (Instrumental) March Forward, Dear Mother Ethiopia
March Forward, Dear Mother Ethiopia (Amharic: ወደፊት ገስግሺ ውድ እናት ኢትዮጵያ), also known by its incipit as Honour of Citizenship (የዜግነት ክብር), is the national anthem of Ethiopia. The song was adopted in 1992, as part of reforms that followed the collapse of the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. (English Lyrics / Translation) Respect for citizenship is strong in our Ethiopia; National pride is seen, shining from one side to another. For peace, for justice, for the freedom of peoples, In equality and in love we stand united. Firm of foundation, we do not dismiss humanness; We are people who live through work. Wonderful is the stage of tradition, owners of a proud heritage, Natural grace, mother of a valorous people. We shall protect you – we have a duty; Our Ethiopia, live! And let us be proud of you!
