[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Born where the Eucalyptus trees touch the sky, An Arada boy with a street-smart eye.
Walking through Piazza, where history meets the breeze,
Drinking macchiato under vintage memories. This is Ethiopia’s capital, the mountain-nested pride,
Where the rhythm of the city beats deep inside.
[Chorus]
Oh Addis, sweet Addis, you bring us together,
A good person welcomed in all kinds of weather! The heartbeat of millions, the home of the free,
You embrace every soul with your harmony. From the rich to the poor, standing tall, standing strong,
In the heart of the city, we all belong!
[Verse 2]
Lose yourself in Mercato, the endless trade and maze,
Where the colors and the voices light up the days.
From Bole high-rises to Kazanchis old and true, Every corner tells a story waiting just for you.
An Arada spirit, resilient and bright,
Turning every shadow into golden light.
[Chorus]
Oh Addis, sweet Addis, you bring us together,
A good person welcomed in all kinds of weather! The heartbeat of millions, the home of the free,
You embrace every soul with your harmony. From the rich to the poor, standing tall, standing strong,
In the heart of the city, we all belong!
[Bridge]
From sunrise to the neon glow along the avenue,
The river of faces whispers: we belong to you.
[Chorus]
Oh Addis, sweet Addis, you bring us together,
A good person welcomed in all kinds of weather! The heartbeat of millions, the home of the free,
You embrace every soul with your harmony. From the rich to the poor, standing tall, standing strong,
In the heart of the city, we all belong!
[Outro]
In the heart of the lion city, we all belong.
