"Ethiopia, Be Happy" (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያ ሆይ ደስ ይበልሽ, romanized: Ityoṗya hoy des ybelish) was the national anthem of the Ethiopian Empire during the rule of Emperor Haile Selassie I. Composed by Kevork Nalbandian in 1926, the anthem was first performed during the coronation of the Emperor on 2 November 1930. It remained the national anthem until the Emperor was overthrown by the Derg regime in 1974 and was relinquished the next year.[1]
