Original Song: Gedlu Tamiratu
Original Singer: Zemarit Fantu Welde

His miracles and deeds were truly tremendous
Defeated the idols and showed his faithfulness
A true evangelist Tewahedo's shining star
Saint TekleHaymanot the Ethiopian you are

Like John the Baptist lived secluded from people
He lived as a hermit overthrowing evil
Seed of Tsegazeab he blossomed like a tree
Many followed his steps to the monastery

They thought he was too weak seeing him on one foot
But then he grew six wings the saint to whom we look
Like a roaring lion his strength was evident
Satan was embarrassed and unable to tempt

Dear kind father accept my deep veneration
At your monastery seeking intercession
Aba Tekle Haymanot the Ethiopian
In Christ you lived your life and blessed our nation

The land that you stepped on the waters which you blessed
It’s the source of healing the land in which you rest
Come see the miracles when the sickly are cured
His works still preach today of this we are assured
