Coofle Posted December 28, 2012 Ma 'Youtube time' baa ?Aaliyyah !!!.. "Hees -Hawleed" is very attractive part of somali literature, sadly this sect is dwindling and rarely I see people using it anymore. For instance when a nomad takes his cattle to the well for water he sings, when watering at the well he sings, when coming back he sings and even when milking the cow he sing.... "Hees-Hawleed" gave nomads the illusion of time going fast.....If I may qoute some hees-Hawleeds. While doing kabad women sing. Koronkor cuni maynoo kariba maynee karuur geel ma la hayaayeey While watering Cattle Men sing and chant Adoo hooto ah (You produce less milk) oo hadhaale ah ( and you always limp behind the cattle) oo hirdina badan (and you kick around) lo'ada ka horteed (before the other good cattle) ha lay soo horo ( I should get water ) sideed ku heshaa ( how could you say)!!!! and then he hits the poor cow with his stick another one for cattle Wiil magaalada soo maraanmaray oo mijo-cas dumar maro la huwaday maalintii ceel kuu midayn waa Alas! I am getting off topic...Nice video Aaliyyah , I think I should start a thread about "Hees-Hawleed" and the nomads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted December 28, 2012 I love youtube. It can be beneficial at times. Anyways, walaal feel free to educate us about the songs somalis used to sing when they milked their cows or took their cattle to the well. It is definitely a beautiful part of our culture and sadly many of us were never exposed to nor bothered to take the initiative to learn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
