WE HAVE A PROMISE

Be it overtly or covertly,

We’ll build the Nile willy-nilly,

Whatever you do whatever you say,

We’ll never stop damming Abay.

Whether you’re insane or with your sense,

Forget ‘colonial share’… the Nile is ours.

And you must know we'll have our legitimate share

Whether you staunchly oppose or support us we don't really care.

Whether you creep around covertly or officially televise,

You may say you’ll sabotage our motherland and destabilize,

We know it before you utter a word you’ll try your craze,

But our weapons are waiting for you ready to graze.

Whether you like it or not we’ll build the Dam,

Against poverty and invaders we’ll defend our mam!

As we did it at the battle of Gura like the battle of Gundet,

We’ll let you know who we are just before sunset.

We're committed to build the dam whatever it takes,

For fighting poverty is our biggest promise!.
