1. Ah! Land of buzzing insects,beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2. Sending ambassadors by sea,in papyrus boats on the waters!Go, swift messengers,to a nation tall and bronzed,To a people dreaded near and far,a nation strong and conquering,whose land is washed by rivers.
3. All you who inhabit the world,who dwell on earth,When the signal is raised on the mountain, look!When the trumpet blows, listen!
