Overview

The lyrics and composer were by Abdullahi Qarshe.[1][2] It was adopted on 1 August 2012 with the passage of the Somali national constitution,[3] in which it is enshrined. It replaced "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" which had been in use since 2000. Soomaaliyeey toosoo is often still used as a de facto national anthem, though the official national anthem for Somalia is "Qoloba Calankeed".

Somali lyrics

Qolobaa calankeedu, waa ceynoo,
Qolobaa calankeedu, waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa, cirkoo kale e,
Oon caadna lahayn, ee caashaqaye.
Xidigyey cadi waad na ciidamisee
Carrada kaligaa adow curadee
Cadceedda sideeda caan noqo
Cishadad dhalataad calooshayadii
Cishadad dhalataad calooshayadii
Sidii culaygii cidaad marisee
Allow ha ku celin cawoy dhaha

Arabic translation

علم أي أمة يحمل لونه الخاص
السماء (فوقنا) هل تبدو لنا
لا توجد عيوب فيه ؛ أحبها بصراحة
يا نجم الأبيض في خدمتك نحن
أنت متفوق في أي جزء من أرضنا
(كن مشهور يا نجم مثل الشمس (من بعيد
يوم قيامك ، لديك قلوبنا
طهَّرَ بالطهارة يا رايتنا
قد لا يغمرك الرب ، نصلي نحن في هذه الليلة
الجزء المنفصل من قواتنا المكونة من خمسة أفراد
أرجو من الله أن يرجعوا إليكم
هذا المصير الذي كتب لنا أن نلتقي الآن

English translation

Every nation has its own flag.
Every nation has its own flag.
Ours is like the sky without any signs of clouds
All of which we have come to love.
Oh you White Star, at your service we are
Oh you White Star, at your service we are
Superior you are, in any part of our land
Be famous oh Star, like the sun
On the day you arose, our hearts you have
On the day you arose, our hearts you have
Purified with pureness
O Allah, do not dim the flag, pray we in this night
