Land of Gold and Green

[Intro – Soft traditional krar & gentle flute]
From the highlands to the plains,
Where the rivers sing your name,
Ethiopia, my heart beats with you,
A land of stories, old and new.

[Verse 1]
In Lalibela’s carved stone halls,
History whispers through the walls.
Coffee blooms in the morning light,
A thousand suns chase away the night.

From Addis streets to Axum skies,
Colors dance before our eyes.
In every dance, in every drum,
The spirit of the land beats like one.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the valleys green, the mountains tall,
Nature’s canvas paints it all.
Rivers, lakes, and skies so wide,
Ethiopia, our soul, our pride.

[Chorus]
Land of gold and green,
Where the past and future gleam.
From the Danakil heat to Simien peaks,
Your beauty speaks in every creek.
Oh, Ethiopia, my heart is free,
In your arms, I find my melody.

[Verse 2]
Timkat waters shine in the sun,
Families gather, old and young.
In every village, every town,
Laughter lifts, and spirits crown.

Your music flows, from krar to masenqo,
Stories told where rivers go.
A heritage rich, a soul so deep,
In your embrace, our hearts will keep.

[Bridge – gentle traditional beat]
Omo, Blue Nile, and Awash streams,
You’re the heartbeat of our dreams.
Highland winds and desert sand,
Every inch, this sacred land.

[Chorus]
Land of gold and green,
Where the past and future gleam.
From the Danakil heat to Simien peaks,
Your beauty speaks in every creek.
Oh, Ethiopia, my heart is free,
In your arms, I find my melody.

[Outro – soft fade, voices layered]
Ethiopia, oh Ethiopia,
Your soul forever flows in me.
From Addis light to Lalibela stones,
Your heart is mine, I am your own.
