CHORUS

ENGLISH 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.
