Anyone know the lyrics for Ciyaar Saylici?

I'm trying to transcribe it from the video I've posted below, but it's not the most clear. There's this

that is clearer but I think the lyrics after the "hooyiwaalo" part are different in the two videos. I bolded the part I got from the second video, but what I really want to know is what the lyrics are for the one I posted. Thought I'd ask if anyone can add to the lyrics I've written so far, you never know who's browsing SOL and knows the song and dance well :P

 

Asalkeeda Saylaceey, dhaqankii Soomaaliyeed

 

Bismillaahi salalaah caleyhi hooyahee

Bismillaahi salalaah caleyhi hooyahee (repeated)

 

Yac gooya (repeated)

 

Hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo (repeated)

 

This is the part I can't figure out, starting 1:45

Soo soco siraadeey sidaada oo kale la waayeey

Hellooy wanaageey wallee nimaan helin halowyeey

Waa taayadiiyeey wallee waa tii shukaantaay

Hooy gabadha daayaay rag bay geel dhalay u tahayee

 

Hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo (repeated)

 

Yac gooya (repeated)

 

Shaylilaah shaylilaah hoobayow (repeated) -- starts at 2:20, is there more I'm missing?

 

Calankaayagow, calankaayagow cawaale waad na caawisee

Calankaayagow hoowa calankaayagow cawaale, waad na caawise (repeated)

 

 

HELP lol

Thank you, Gheelle! Although I don't think this person's lyrics are entirely correct either, it does fill in some gaps I had lol

I do, but not fluently. Why do you ask?

 

Partly uut of curiosity, with you being a Canadian Somali and all, but also because I saw this video about Somali culture (its in French) and I wondered if you'd be able to understand it.

So here are the full lyrics if anyone is interested, the video I posted above is missing a few lines so here's everything:

 

Asalkeeda Saylaceey, dhaqankii Soomaaliyeed (repeat)

 

Bismillaahi salalaah caleyhi hooyahee
Bismillaahi salalaah caleyhi hooyahee (repeated)

 

Yac gooya, yac gooya (repeated)

 

Hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo (repeated)

 

Hellooy wanaageey wallee nimaan helin halowyeey


Waa taayadiiyeey wallee waa tii shukaantaay


Soo soco siraadeey, sidaada oo kale la waayeey

War gabadha daayay, dhalaankay gaar u tahayee

War gabadha daayay, rag bey geel dhalay u tahayee

Gaagaabanayeey, ma gudin baa lagu jarjarayee

 

Caakow caakow, caakow caakow (repeated)

 

Hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo, hooyiwaalo (repeated)

 

Yac gooya, yac gooya (repeated)

 

Shaylilaah shaylilaah ya waliyulaah Sheekh Samaroon, hoobayow (repeated)

 

Calankaayagow, calankaayagow cawaale waad na caawisee


Calankaayagow hoowa calankaayagow cawaale, waad na caawise (repeated)

 

Muliyooy hooy seeyseey

Before the introduction of the colonials in the coastal area, Zaylac was a city inhabited by Indians, Arabs, Oromos and Somalis. Probably, some of these lyrics are a mix of languages. I remember growing up the " reer Zaylac were different from other people. In Borama, when there was a wedding or a party, you must call Dumarka Reer Zaylac, so they could cook their special foods and preform the folklore dance.
