"Ethiopia Is My Love" lyrics

There's a country over in Africa
It holds a special place in my heart
It's where I was born, where our story starts
It's called Ethiopia

Where the lions roar and the eagles soar
Where the cows and sheep like to roam the street
See the Nile, always leave with a smile
When you visit Ethiopia

Where the people dance all day and night
Rejoice and sing, spread love and light
They dance with their shoulders, it's called "eskista"
Ethiopia is my love

Where the lions roar and the eagles soar
Where the cows and sheep like to roam the street
See the Nile, always leave with a smile
When you visit Ethiopia

"Selam," this is how you say hello
Amharic is their language, try and give it a go
Selam, selam, selam, selam
Say hello to Ethiopia

Injera and tibs, dinner is yummy
It's also the birthplace of coffee
One of the oldest countries in the world
I'm proud of Ethiopia

It's called Ethiopia
Ethiopia is my love
