Original Tigrinya Lyrics

ኤርትራ ኤርትራ ኤርትራ፡
በዓል ደማ እናልቀሰ ተደምሲሱ፡
መስዋእታ ብሓርነት ተደቢሱ።

መዋእል ነኺሳ ኣብ ዕላማ፡
ትእምርቲ ጽንዓት ኰይኑ ስማ፡
ኤርትራ'ዛ ሓበን ውጹዓት፡
ኣመስኪራ ሓቂ ከምትዕወት፡

ኤርትራ ኤርትራ (ክልተ ግዜ)
ኣብ ዓለም ጨቢጣቶ ግቡእ ክብራ።

ናጽነት ዘምጽኦ ልዑል ኒሕ፡
ንህንጻ ንልምዓት ክንሰርሕ፡
ስልጣኔ ከነልብሳ ግርማ
ሕድሪ'ሎና ግምጃ ክንስልማ፡

ኤርትራ ኤርትራ (ክልተ ግዜ)
ኣብ ዓለም ጨቢጣቶ ግቡእ ክብራ።

Original Lyrics (Transliteration)

Ertra, Ertra, Ertra,
Beal dema'nalkese tedem sisu,
Meswaéta bharnet tedebisu.

Mewaél nekhisa'b élama
Témrti tsnat koynu sma,
Ertra za haben wtsuat,
Ameskira haki kem téwet.

CHORUS:
Ertra, Ertra,
Abalem chebitato gbué kbra.

Natsänet zemtsä’ lä‘ul nihh,
Nähäntsa nälmä‘at käsärähh,
Sälthane känelbäsa gräma,
Hhädära-lena gämja känsläma.

CHORUS

English Translation

Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea,
Her enemy decimated
and her sacrifices vindicated by liberation.

Steadfast in her goal,
symbolizing endurance,
Eritrea, the pride of her oppressed people,
proved that the truth prevails.

CHORUS
Eritrea, Eritrea
holds her rightful place in the world.

Dedication that led to liberation
Will buildup and make her green
We shall honour her with progress
We have a word to her to embellish

CHORUS
