Oh! Ethiopia! For how long?…How long?

Do we walk

Under a tyrant’s

Shadow

For how long

Do we dance around

While being whipped

By the tyrant

In his compound?

I dance no more

For a penny

Just to ride on

A tyrant’s pony.

Shame to all

Who rule

By the barrel of the gun.

Under a tyrant rule

Say no more

Ethiopia

I ask once more

“For how long”
