Waad Garan Lahaydeene

Hooyaallayey hooyaallayey, hoyaallayey hooye;

Warshadaha madfaca gaw leh iyo, gumuca beeraaya

Hubkan dunida kala gooshayee, gees walba u raacay

Ee aan xuduud lagu gartiyo, gogol-dhac loo yeelin

Aakeyga kii geela jirey, saaran garabkiisa

Intuu halista gaadhsiiyay baad, garan lahaydeene.

Inta gibil madow, inta gibil cad, gaaliyo Islaamba

Rag uun baa arlada gubee, waan la garanayne

Iyagaa gantaallada rakibay, mana gar-qaataane,

Waa kuwaa haweenkii guddiyay, geedkii nabadeede.

Geeliyo lo'dii buu jaray iyo, gaabanow adhiye

Geyi aan ugaadhiyo ku hadhin, diin gangaamaniye

Intuu gegida meyd jiifiyaad, garan lahaydeene,

Shimbirihii geyiga joogay ayaa, guuray oo qaxaye

In Hiroshiima gaadhsiisanyaad, garan lahaydeene,

Dhibtuu dunida gaadhsiiyay baad, garan lahaydeene.

Inta gibil madow, inta gibil cad, gaaliyo Islaamba

Rag uun baa arlada gubee, waan la garanayne

Iyagaa gantaallada rakibay, mana gar qaataane,

Waa kuwaa haweenkii guddiyey, geedkii nabadeede.

Colaad iyo waxay geysataad, garan lahaydeene

Inay gacalka naafeeysataad, garan lahaydeene

Gurbood inay agoomaysataad, garan lahaydeene

Odayada inay gawracdaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay dunida gaas-maas sudhaad, garan lahaydeene

Godob iyo wax baas inay tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Guryo negi inay ololisaad, garan lahaydeene

Intay halis gaadhsiisay baad, garan lahaydeene.

Inta gibil madow, inta gibil cad, gaaliyo Islaamba

Rag uun baa arlada gubee, waan la garanayne

Iyagaa gantaallada rakibay, mana gar qaataane,

Waa kuwaa haweenkii guddiyey, geedkii nabadeede.

Inay nabadi tahay geed hadhlaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay gacal xannaanaysataad, garan lahaydeene

Geel dhalay inay daaran tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay gaawe xoor badan tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Geyaan iyo jacayl inay tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Gelbis iyo aroos inay tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay goob farxadi taal tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay horumar gaadhsiisan tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay tahay guryo deyrka laad, garan lahaydeene

Inay tahay xariir lagu goglaad, garan lahaydeene

Gobaad inay ku iidaaman tahaad, garan lahaydeene

Inay tahay aqoon loo gudbaad, garan lahaydeene.

Inta gibil madow, inta gibil cad, gaaliyo Islaamba

Rag uun baa arlada gubee, waan la garanayne

Iyagaa gantaallada rakibay, mana gar qaataane,

Waa kuwaa haweenkii guddiyey, geedkii nabadeede.

You Understand

Hooyaallayey hooyaallayey, hooyaallayey hooye;

Weapons' factories thud with a pounding rhythm

Armaments spewed out to all the corners of the globe

With no boundaries, no limits and with no restrictions

Even a camel-herder slings an AK-47 on his shoulder

You understand the extreme suffering this brings

Black people, white people, non-believers, Muslims

It's men who burn to annihilate the land

They set up rockets and won't listen to arguments

While women plead for caution under the tree of peace

They've exterminated camels, cattle, goats and sheep

Wild animals - even the shielded tortoise - have all been slaughtered

You understand how many people have been slain in open fields

How birds have fled the countryside and migrated far away

You understand how this is getting like Hiroshima

You understand the destitution this visits on the world

Black people, white people, non-believers, Muslims

It's men who burn to annihilate the land

They set up rockets and won't listen to arguments

While women plead for caution under the tree of peace

You understand war and the injury it inflicts

You understand how loved ones are struck down

You understand how children are made orphans

You understand how the elderly are slaughtered

You understand how the world straps on a gas mask

You understand how hatred and bitterness persist

You understand how blameless villages are torched

You understand the extreme suffering this brings

Black people, white people, non-believers, Muslims

It's men who burn to annihilate the land

They set up rockets and won't listen to arguments

While women plead for caution under the tree of peace

You understand peace is a broad-leafed tree

You understand peace shelters families and friends

You understand peace brings prosperity

You understand peace is a churn of frothing milk

You understand peace means marriage and love

You understand peace escorts the married couple home

You understand peace is a place where happiness springs

You understand peace promotes progress

You understand peace is a home with a strong fence

You understand peace spreads like silk

You understand peace is an independent female camel

You understand peace brings knowledge and education

Black people, white people, non-believers, Muslims

It's men who burn to annihilate the land

They set up rockets and won't listen to arguments

While women plead for caution under the tree of peace

You Would Have Understood

Hooyaallayey hooyaallayey, hooyaallayey hooye;

Weapons industries manufacturing ammunition throbbing with a strong regular

rhythm

These armaments provided in a continuous way to every corner of the world

Having no boundary determining the limits and imposing restriction

The one who is the camel-herder carrying the submachine gun AK-47 to his

shoulder

You would have understood the degree to which many sufferings it inflicted.

The black-skinned people, the white-skinned people, Muslims and non-Muslims

It's men who are burning to destroy the territories but not well perceived

They are the ones who set up the rockets and don't listen to arguments,

Here are the women now counseling for a course of action under the tree of peace.

It killed in large numbers of camels, cattle, goats and sheep

There's no game animals and shielded tortoise left in the land

You would have understood the degree to which the number of people it strike

down into the open fields

The birds who are used to be in the country had moved away and migrated

You would have understood that it had reached up to Hiroshima

You would have understood the difficulties it had brought to the world.

The black-skinned people, the white-skinned people, Muslims and non-Muslims

It's men who are burning to destroy the territories but not well perceived

They are the ones who set up the rockets and don't listen to arguments,

Here are the women now counseling for a course of action under the tree of peace.

You would have understood the wars and the injuries it had inflicted upon

You would have understood that it had incapacitated the beloved people

You would have understood that it made orphans to many teenagers

You would have understood that it had slaughtered many elders

You would have understood that the world today has gas masks for protection

You would have understood that it's a resentment and persistent feeling of ill

will

You would have understood that it puts an arson to peaceful and untroubled

houses

You would have understood the degree to which many sufferings it inflicted.

The black-skinned people, the white-skinned people, Muslims and non-Muslims

It's men who are burning to destroy the territories but not well perceived

They are the ones who set up the rockets and don't listen to arguments,

Here are the women now counseling for a course of action under the tree of peace.

You would have understood that peace is a shady tree;

You would have understood that it looks after families and friends

You would have understood that it's a flash of lightning and camels given birth

You would have understood that it's a large container full of frothy milk

You would have understood that it's an eligible marriage partner and love

You would have understood that it's escorting the bride and groom home after

the wedding ceremony

You would have understood that it's a site where happiness is occurring

You would have understood that it's a place promoting to progress

You would have understood that it's like houses protected with fences

You would have understood that it's spreading out with a silk

You would have understood that it's seasoned with the she-camel - Gobaad -

sign of independence

You would have understood the degree to which one has moved on to

knowledge and education.

The black-skinned people, the white-skinned people, Muslims and non-Muslims

It's men who are burning to destroy the territories but not well perceived

They are the ones who set up the rockets and don't listen to arguments,

Here are the women now counseling for a course of action under the tree of peace.
