Ethiopians We Must Fight!

Rating: 5.0


The country is at war,
But many still do not understand.
So let me take you gently by the hand
I will lead you to the battle field,
Till we all can see the Promised land!

For what has been painful to discuss!
For those Ethiopian heroes,
who died for their motherland
What they died for is defied,
Our unity is provoked!
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

For the many still suffering so,
The prisoners of conscience,
Incarcerated professors, human right defenders
It is the time to rescue them, those we hold so precious.
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

When the events of May election, flowed people as flood,
We saw Woyanes trembled in bewilderment.
Unity is powerful! It can sweep them away
Historical was indeed, Unforgettable 15th of May
The chosen leaders arrested
Peaceful protestors massacred!
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

To live in peace with Love,
In that wonderful land
To thank! To praise, our great God above
For Freedom, For Justice, For all that we stand
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!


We watched our young and old
Those who were born to be bold,
They leave for a battle to fight
Scary is not death at all,
Offering life for what is right!
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

To raise our flag with Honor,
And the Pride that we all share,
To bring all tribes closer,
Together to show them that we care
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

To combat tribalism, divide and rule fascism
To crush and destroy, the evil fruits of division
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

To break and demolish the prisons of Woyanes,
Where the academics languish,
To free and rescue human right defenders,
From those dark, remote, horrible dungeons
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

Nobody will come to rescue us
We don’t have oil right now!
Be on guard to break dungeons
We have to be ready to blow!
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

For all those in this battle both family and friends
For our Great Country, democracy and justice
To get rid of poverty
To eliminate tyranny!
To combat segregation
Ethnic conflict, division
Ethiopians, WE MUST FIGHT!
Come together; Unite!

For all of Ethiopians,
Both at home and in exile
Open your ears, hear them call
From their warm graves heroes shout,
They command you “YOU MUST FIGHT! ”
Please Ethiopians Unite!

Ethnic division is cancer
Please one and all, come together;
We shouldn’t hesitate to fight
For God’s sake, march together
Please! Ethiopians Unite!
