Tewahedo my creed and faith

Tewahedo my creed and faith

My forefathers where it originates

I won’t remove my cross and cord

She will live on forevermore

ተዋህዶ ሃይማኖቴ

የጥንት ነሽ የእናት እና አባቴ

ማህተቤን አልበጥስም

ትኖራለች ለዘለዓለም

Built upon our blood the cities of Egypt

No virtue in murder but we live despite it

They tell me take it off remove my cross and cord

Take it along with my neck boldly I had told

Tewahedo my creed and faith

My forefathers where it originates

I won’t remove my cross and cord

She will live on forevermore

Paul was killed by a sword Peter was crucified

For the sake of their faith many martyrs have died

Others within fire passed in tribulation

Their stories will endure with our admiration

Tewahedo my creed and faith

My forefathers where it originates

I won’t remove my cross and cord

She will live on forevermore

For we are the future so put the past away

Awake my people and arise without delay

So we don’t go astray we must be empowered

Children of Tewahedo now’s the time and hour

Tewahedo my creed and faith

My forefathers where it originates

I won’t remove my cross and cord

She will live on forevermore

Pretending to not see we ignored the issues

Trusting in His good will we’ve been quiet and mute

Now enough is enough silence must be shattered

Let’s declare to the world Tewahedo’s honor

Tewahedo my creed and faith

My forefathers where it originates

I won’t remove my cross and cord

She will live on forevermore

ተዋህዶ ሃይማኖቴ

የጥንት ነሽ የእናት እና አባቴ
