When the people have won a large victory, do you ever wonder where the martyrs might be?
Those who sacrificed themselves to make Eritrea excel.
Something nonetheless more precious than their blood.
We like to think of them hovering over us as we have gathered to weep and to rejoice.
Their blood has dried
and become white balloons, representing new beginnings and full moons.
What you now hold in your hand is no longer your tears
but the memory that Eritrea will prosper for years.
Our Martyrs never regret what they have done, and they never frown.
They forever remain above us beside us and within us, making us so proud
Wetru Awet NHafash !!!
Zelealemawi ZeKri meinti helawiena beja zeHalefu !!!
