Welcome white dove

Welcome,welcome

White dove

The hatred wall

That estranged cousins

Have begun to fall

When love

Incarnated in white dove

Started to fly high

Over Ethiopian- Eritrean sky.

 

Welcome,welcome

White dove

You are an antidote

Border dispute to solve.

 

Welcome,welcome

White dove

Ethiopia's port problem

Eritrea's financial-return

Challenges

You are sure to dissolve.

 

Welcome,welcome

White dove

Tourism and trade

Must spur ahead.

So to wipe out

Dislike's filth

Let us put a glove.

 

Welcome,welcome

White dove

To make up for

Lost resources and chances

Also the two cousins

From dislike to absolve.//
