Aten requested me to build Akhet-Aten
As a memorial for his name to all eternity
Akhet-Aten, town of the sun and of love
Akhet-Aten, town of the art and of joy

Welcome to Akhet-Aten
Welcome to the home where Aten lives
Welcome to Akhet-Aten
Welcome to the most beautiful town on the earth

See all the temples I have built
For my father, Hor-Aten, he lives
Look to all that palaces and buildings
You have never seen such beauty

At this place I will stay
Till the hills stand up and leave
At this place I will stay
Till the Nile flows upstream
