"March Forward, Dear Mother Ethiopia" (Amharic: ወደፊት ገስግሺ ውድ እናት ኢትዮጵያ, romanized: Wedefīt Gesigishī Wid Inat ītiyop’iya[1]), also known by its incipit as "Honour of Citizenship" (Amharic: የዜግነት ክብር, romanized: Yezēginet Kibir), is the national anthem of Ethiopia.
The lyrics were written by Dereje Melaku Mengesha, and the music was composed by Solomon Lulu Mitiku. The song was adopted in 1992, as part of reforms that followed the collapse of the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.[2]
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!
