Analysis of My Birth Land, Ethiopia
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
My Birth Land, Ethiopia
On high plateau
On ragged mountain
Surrounded by hills and valley
You are scalded by your droughts
Through no fault of yours
All your beauty covered with swift dust
Your hospitality changed
To second degree begged bread for the hungry
You raised me with milk and honey
Something went wrong
Can you tell me?
Your journey to Democracy a priceless effort
You a mother of burnet face
Call them to change your nick-names
I know you will be blessed again
Now and then always my country
