“Golden Jubilee” – Awate: the man some strive to discredit… but they fail
On this day, we remember our noble martyrs, women and men
Who fought bravely although knowing death was certain!
Today, we remember their supreme sacrifices that created our entity
Their struggle and martyrdom for our independence and identity
They wrote with their blood Eritrean history with magnanimity
To be free and build a nation based on rule of law and equality
Traitors threw themselves at the emperor’s feet for servility
Kissed his shoes & sold Eritrea to mum Ethiopia with humility
We fought for thirty years because of their egoism & imbecility
Still we are suffering from the inheritors of chauvinism & falsity
Awate, the brave man who declared the path to our liberty
Chose to challenge oppression, fight for freedom and dignity
The martyr was a great man, reflected in his indomitability
The hero was brave, his heroism manifested in his audacity
The father of Eritrean revolution & armed struggle in our history
Embarked into the road of freedom to lead Eritrea to final victory
He was a simple man…his strength demonstrated in his simplicity
He was tactful and wise respected by all because of his intrepidity
Walked his talk and led the battles to victory without ambiguity
He struggled to create Eritrean Independence and sovereignty
He was a leader who led by example with courage and ingenuity
It’s incontrovertible to admire our icon with such noble personality
Trying to discredit and ignore Awate sacrifices are false & vanity
He was visionary who saw “Eritrean Independence” as a certainty
He was charismatic and loved by all, without much ado with sincerity
Truth will prevail when Eritrea will be freed from disgrace & banditry
Awate loved Eritrea and Eritrea loves this patriot forever for posterity
They are two in one, in unison synchronized and linked for eternity
Striving for the majority rule that fully protects the rights of minority
Justice, equality & rule of law as cornerstone of our national authority
Our spirit of Awatism, Eritreanism and Nationalism will not us fail
United we stand and succeed …divided we fall and live in despair
Let us celebrate our “Golden Jubilee” and free Eritrea without fanfare
Follow the path of Awate to struggle, so our pride & freedom we obtain
No matter how long the night of tyranny, dawn is sure to come again
Let us fight united now, to eradicate oppression without any bargain
Awate is our man who led us to pride, freedom, dignity and liberation
It is unjust to be discredited by the inheritors of stigmatic submission
He is our hero and national symbol and as such in history will remain
Traitors & chauvinists will disappear and Eritrea soon its freedom will regain
