one of Magool's Melodies

Recommended Posts

an excerpt by Rhoda A. Rageh

 

 

The song is simply a message addressing all that bind lovers. Its amorous thrums reveal a healthy relationship between lovers. That profuse “ deaf woman†paradigm of male courting is humanized with sensual seductive, soothing strokes. The composer (Perhaps a woman) reaches out to a distant partner through Magool’s most melodious voice---

 

 

Hohay dunidaneey kala haatiyay.

Oh! A world that flings apart!

Naftu waxay u hibatoo ay haaban

So much reminisce a mortal.

weydoo ku hanqaara badanaa.

So deeply, afflict yet unreachable.

Laba aan is hurin oo

Two inseparable souls

haddana aan is haynoo

that cannot concur.

Intuu caashaq wada helay

Desire smitten couple

Hayaan kala fogaadoo

traverse thusly apart.

Kala heeray waayuhu

Rent asunder by circumstance.

mid waliba halkiisu

Each forlorn -------

la jiifaa haraadkee

languish athirst--------

Halkaad ku nigadahay

In your realm

Maxaad caawa haysaa?

How do you fare tonight?

Hawada caafimaadkaaga

The breeze of your zest

Iyo heerka noloshaada?

Your zeal, soundness and

Hayntaada jeebkiyo sidee

The bounty in your pocket?

Hawshu kugu tahayee?

Are you overwrought?

Hibashad xusuusta Hurdo

In longing and retrospection

kaama seexdee, wadnaha

i Sleepless I spur. My heart

habayee, kaaguna ma heema?

Spews, does yours spurt?

Haasawaheenii ma u soo helowdaa?

Do you covet our interchange?

Habeenkii kulkay tahay ma la ikaa horkeena?

At night, does my apparition arise?

Haaaaaa hareertaada gogosha,

hiiiiiii ma ku Haaa

in bed beside you, do you

Haabataa gacan? Huuuuu sida geel haleela

Reach with your arm? Eeeeh! Like an

Hiii hoose miyaad ka reentaa?

Impassioned camel, do you groan -- gravely?

Hamuumta iyo xiisaha ma is hasanweydaa?

Does want overwhelm you?

Sia hobol caan baxay kalidaa ma heestaa?

Like famous soloist, do you croon alone?

Hambalyada salaantiyo ma heshaa waraaqaha?

Do you receive greetings ‘N letters?

…………. ….

Hudhud ama ku lumiyoo heedhe la isku keen diray. What ‘f you be adrift, avouch gossipmongers

Amad halacsataayoo ku hawiratay meel kale. What ‘f you flirt ‘N nestle with another

Caashaqii horeeyiyoo keenii halmaantaa.

Discard, and disregard ‘R love,

Haatufkiyo dabaylaha war la hubo

Do send me your pledge

U soo dhiib, kaygana mar iga hoo.

By phone or wind and hear mine

Hoobee laba shub weeyaanee. Hobee hobee

The profusion of my emotions

Heedhe ma I maqlaysaayee?

Hayey hayey! Do you hear me? O! Yea! O! Yea!

Hindisuhu siduu qabo

As future plans may have

Hadmaad Iman (ahhhh) bal ii sheeg.

Do tell me when are you are coming.

Hor Alle waan ku sugayaa.

By God, I anticipate in earnest.

i am just discovering the beauty and depth of the Somali oldies and am loving it day after day!

 

i am just tired of the lone cranky keyboard that the copycats of waji-xumayaal are innundating us with.

 

to me Magool, Dhuule and Tubeec are LEGENDS ---

 

This special song is amazing -- u only need to hear it- i have an old tape - with a collection of Somali songs alla Qaaci and Cuud - Subcis and Waayo waayo- this song and another by Tubeec called Xaawo are the best- what a great treasure!

 

i am sorry for those who can't appreciate and understand the beautiful mysticism in the lyrics
