AXUM

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum

Oldest capital in Tigray region

Home to the hosts and legion

Teff we did ah trade inna the season

Yodit guilty of treason

Economic dominance inna the region

Ark of the Covenant reason

Ezana separate from the heathen

Still unbeaten

We worked so hard on the obelisk I

33 meters high

Underground counter work mystify

King of Kings from the time of Za Haqalai

Sheba where she grow and she reside

Menliek born, Menilek die

St. Mary of Zion was built by Janhoi

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum

Before the Romans wrote

It was the beginning of the Silk Road

Where we did honor and we did hold

Chapel of the Tablet and the Tablets of the Law

It was the city where the Emperors were crowned

A pilgrim's holy destination 

Where the bath of Sheba was filled with milk of goat

And we still celebrate the festival Timket

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum

Oldest capital in Tigray region

Home to hosts and legion

Teff we did ah trade inna the season

Yodit guilty of treason

Economic dominance inna the region

Ark of the Covenant reason

Ezana separate from the heathen

Still unbeaten

Oh Oh Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum
