Mother Eritrea : By Haben T

To hear about the harmony unparalleled



The sacred sacrifice, in every heart, that dwelled



Despite the war, you find them all at ease



The glory in their eyes in search of lasting peace



Proclaiming victory in their right hand



Exterminating evil from the motherland



Out of words, we stood there silently



Staring at the magic of tranquility



They’re the ones who left behind their homes



Guardian angels of their crystal domes



Their confidence revealed they had the upper hand



And things were moving forward just as planned



Their love for peace became our daily bread



This is what the young men in the fronts had said:



Have no fear dear motherland



Worry not about a thing



Your gracious wish is our command



With gratitude we proudly sing



Who will dare to change your looks



So long as we’re around



Transgressors and unthankful crooks



Will be buried in the ground



Shine like gold forever more



Your kids ask nothing in return



And enemies demanding war



In torment they will burn



Your soil will not be taken



Your seas are yours to keep



You’re not to be forsaken



Your children never sleep



Fear no evil human force



Except for God who makes it all



For He will make them have remorse



And they will have their greatest fall



Mother Eritrea,



Our roots are in your caring hands



Planted in your blessed soil



And we comprise your sacred lands



For your well being we toil and moil



Your glory will be yours to keep



As we raise our solemn voice



Beneath it lies a secret deep



For ‘mother’ you’re our only choice



The dignity and pride we earn



For loving you in every way



And wanting nothing in return



Is all it takes for a brighter day!"
