Emperor Menelik the victorious

This work was composed to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the Victory of Adwa. Please see below for the lyrics: Emperor Menelik the Victorious Menelik—wise and merciful king, Guardian of land and ancient crown. He loved his people, he loved their soil, And would not yield their sovereignty. ምኒልክ… ምኒልክ…ምኒልክ… He stood unbowed before the world, No bargain made with a foreign power. Ethiopia’s pride, unbroken still, Rose like fire in his command. ኢትዮጵያ ነፃ ሆና ትኖራለች! From every hill, from every plain, He called the nation—one heart, one voice. They marched as one to northern fields, Where fate awaited empire and king. ላገር ድንበር እንዘምታለን At Amba Leggé, at Mekele they fell, At Adwa’s field the thunder sealed their fate— Not once, not twice, but thrice, Italy was crushed, Their arrogance laid low before your name. ድል ለኢትዮጵያ! ድል ለኢትዮጵያ! ድል ለኢትዮጵያ! Victory to Ethiopia! He raised Ethiopia’s name on high, He shattered myths of false dominion. A light was born for Africa’s sons, That chains can break, that hope can rise. አፍሪካ ተነሺ! አፍሪካ ተነሺ! አፍሪካ ተነሺ! (Africa, arise!) All ages sing his mighty deeds, From age to age his name endures. Menelik—glory of the land, Forever crowned in memory. May the God of Ethiopia grant him rest, Among the saints in holy light. Ethiopia እጆቿን ወደ እግዚአብሔር ትዘርጋለች! Ethiopia shall stretch her hands to God!
