 * Revision: First
 * Text: Translated lyrics
 * copyvio: Score in the or M. J. Bristow "National Anthems of the World".
 * Speedy keep. I doubt that a national album is copyrighted, and a national album is certainly notable no matter how you slice it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 14:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Snowball keep per TPH rationale; this is certainly a notable subject, and in the unlikely event that the lyrics are copyrighted, there is enough here for a stand-alone article with the lyrics removed. Note that many articles on national anthems contain the lyrics in their entirety, or at least the lyrics of the verse(s) commonly sung; see the articles in Category:National anthems. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:35, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems unlikely to me that the anthem, its transliteration, or its translation are original to that website or M. J. Bristow either; the transliteration is essentially mechanical.  But I would suggest moving this to March Forward, Dear Mother Ethiopia, the English translation. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
