Safferz I am afraid you are pushing boundaries of genders role of this site. It is not uncommon and taboo for the woman of SOL to respond with gifs.This is a predominant male form of comedy. Please act accordingly

Well the most significant line of that song is "landcruiser gado soo bari galay"- a loose translation--- buying landcruisers while begging for corn (food)

Well this is sirta nolosha from the Somali Shakspear Hadraawi. I delayed reading it for so long to enjoy its sweetness, and I regret to say I don't understand most of the words in it that matter the most, but the sound of it alone, and for the reasonably good Somali speaker, the wisdom they may infer from it is more than satisfactory. I'm sure most of you have either heard of it already or even studied it. But here it is nevertheless, Sirta Nolosha:

 

 

 

 

 

Saaxiibkayow heedhe

Safar baan ka imi dheere

Marka hore salaan diirrran

Marka xiga samow heedhe

Ha ka nixin si-dalagtayda

Sacab fara-madhnaantayda

Suugaanta yaabkeeda

Salka iyo fadhaa keena

Marka xiga sugnaanteeda

Socodkiyo falkaa sheega

Xeerkeedu waa saase.

 

Saaxiibkayow heedhe

Anba saaka qaybteeda

Sirsirraan ka joogaaye

Xadhiggiyo bal eeg suunka

Iyo sabarka gaadiidey

Iyo salabka ii qaaran

Iyo suudha guudkayga

 

Hilaygiyo waxaan saabka

U gilgiley Samaw haanta

Subag inay ku dhiiqdaaye

Saasay ku badisaaye

Sannad weliba xeeshiiye

Kol hadday silloonaato

Samaheedu waa dhiige

Sumuc talada loo dhiibye

Sida sida sidaas weeye

Si la yeeli jirey weeye

 

Marka xiga Samaw heedhe

Talo sibiq dhaqaaqeeda

Soof-daran habawgeeda

Sal-fudaydka hooggiisa

Bal sallaankan fuul laalan

Iyo sagabtan heensaysan

Dhulka saas u jeedaali

Sidan iyo sidaas fiiri

Sidan iyo gadaal dheeho

 

Raqda solan lafaa soogan

Bal su’aal u celi meydkan

Sababtuu u go’ay raadi

Bal dhegeyso saylaanka

Iyo salowga beer-qaadka

Iyo sebiga yeedhiisa

Waxaad aragtay oo saasa

Waxaad maqashayoo saasa

Maxaad odhan lahayd Suudi?

 

Samalaho furfuriddooda

Godka seer-ma weydaanka

Marka ay sabbuux gaadho

Si kalaan u dhigi taase

Saaxiibkay Waayaale

Suurtuu dhalaay heedhe

Heedhee Sahraay heedhe.

Waxaan adiga kuu saantay

Dadka kaaga soo soocay

Sahra kuugu yeedh-yeedhay

Siduu aabbahaa heedhe

Samo ii faraan heedhe

Kuu siinayaa heedhe

Sooyaalka taariikhdu

Murtidaan Sahraay heedhe

Sadar kuugu qorayaaye

Heedhee Sahraay heedhe

Curad suubbaneey heedhe

Dharku siifad yuu yeelan

Suyac iyo bar gaasheysan

Garashadu Sahraay ruuxa

Sed u gaara weeyaane

Kaga soocan yahay weeye

 

Waxan uga socdaa heedhe

Una saaf qofkii waaya

Ha ka tegin sarbeebtiisa

Hana lumin sargoyntiisa

Hana liqin sangaabtiisa

Ha ku saxan badheedhkiisa

Runta sogordoh haw yeelin

Ha suldaarin dooddiisa

Sisibaa wadaaggiisa

Sababee abbaartaada

Hana badin su’aashiisa

Sarrifkiyo tilmaantiisa

Saddex erey halkii dooni

Gacantana ha saydh-saydhin

Hana odhan wax sawliila

 

Heedhee Sahraay heedhe

Subeciyad xiddiyo laaf leh

Adigoo siddeeddaas hal

No probs safferz. i am sure you realized there are other parts to the program. you know i am realizing the entire Somali history can be learned through Somali poetry everything from the womans plight to the colonial struggle. if i had a say in the future history curriculum of the country I would use poetry and literature to tell the story of the Somali people.
