  • i came here after listening to k'naan's Fire in Freetown, which was great. but i have to wonder how many americans listen to k'naan or traditional somalian music. because this is great and nobody i know has ever heard of k;naan.

  • i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee somalia with all my heart 

  • @faysal64 Somalia is just one region. This song is sang by a woman whose parents were Isaaq and Ogaden, so she will not be considered part of "Somalia". Pls be intelligent and refer to Somali instead.

  • @Dabayare how can you ask anybody to be inteligent when its only you here talking qabiil. troll

  • Classic Mansha'Allah !!

  • Aah what bittersweet memories, so haunting, so melancholic this brigs rushing back. "Love is desire in breeze;eagles flying in skies;it envelops with hope from without;like tesmpest coming...all I see is your lightning'

  • Sida Hogosha

    Maandeeq

    Cishqi waa hawaa'iye,

    Sidii haadka duulee

    Adigoon wax haaynin

    Hammuu kugu bilaabaa

    Sidii hogosha roobka

    Aduun baa i horjooga

    Sidii hogosha roobka

    Aduun bay hillaacee

  • Adigaa ii horseeday,

    Halkaan caawo aallo

    Hanqaarmow jaceylbaa

    I hoggaaminaayee

    Sidii hogosha roobka

    Aduun bay hillaacay

  • Hurdo waaban daayoo,

    Habeenkii ma seexdo

    Wuxuun baa i hor-roora

    Sidii aan hadraayee

    Sidii hogosha roobka

    Aduun bay hillaacee

  • Horaa loo dhammeeyoo,

    Allaa hibida siiye

    Hibaaq baxay la moodyoo

    Ragga waa u horeeyaa

    Sidii hogosha roobka

    Aduun bay hillaacee.

  • kick back & enjoy the lyrics guys

  • Cishqi waa hawaa'iye,

  • It's so Beautiful When Mandeeq Sings! 0:45 oh man how I miss My Neighbored hood in Hamar Cabdicasiis!!

  • fatima abdulahi maandeeq is an somaliland singers. and also somalian singer

  • beautiful

  • damn this is beautiful k'naan should makes old somali songs samples in his songs, so the young generation can connect to it.

  • this song is beautiful its better then Knaan's, because its the original. by the way am somali so dont let my name fool u'll. and why is somalioznetwork talking own on people. power to knaan.

  • K'naan Should give all credits to this singer.....you know people before were fantastic.

  • @burci2 he did, one of his songs is call her name

  • @burci2 he did by name naming one of his songs by her name

  • I LOVE MANDEEQ 2 DEATH AND KNAAN ALSO

  • This song's brilliant. I like K'naan's 'Fire in Freetown' but this pips it; I love the rhythm.

  • Thanks for posting this song. It's beautiful - now I understand his roots. Wish he would sample even more S classics...mahadsanid.

  • Beautiful. Blessings to my East African brothas and sistas~~~~

  • @AfriNaija12

    Blessings to my West Africans....I have briefly checked your profile and found that African music is so powerful and have same melody !

    Good music.

  • @dhagax It surely does. We are from the same root, we just sprouted in various ways, but our foundation is always the same and connected~~

  • @AfriNaija12

    this is the remix K'naan used to his new song Fire in Freetown, this is where he got the original idea from a classic Somalian song from back in the 80's... back when Somalia was at peace, but now hopefully soon the war is over..

    and indeed thanks for your support my naijsa sista.. Peace and luv to you to and you peoples, ive got alot of naija friends thats Hasua and yoruba...

    so yeh much luv back at ya my sista..

    Hotep and Peace

  • Yes brotha I actually found out about this song through listening to Fire in Freetown by Knaan and on youtube found out where the melody came from and was led to this video. And yes I pray and know that the war in Somalia as well as the war with all Alkebulanian (African) peoples, both physical and mental - abstract and concrete will end That is nice to know you have Naija friends. We are one, whether or not we are oblivious to it. To quote Knaan THIS IS AFRICA! Keep Positive Vibes, blessings~

  • @AfriNaija12

    yess, i agree with all that you've said my dear..

    indeed... Likewise stay blessed my princess..

    Hotep - Peace

  • Obliged~~~

  • Amazing Music!

  • beautiful : )

  • woow..love this..mandeeq ..love u too..this song is soo cooling/relaxing lol

  • Qaaci + qaraami= nice music like this one. I loooove Maandeeq. and I,m proud of K'naan

  • Somalioz thank you bro, ignore the jaahil. Music unites people. We love mandeeq & K'naan.

  • The somali legend Mandeeq, who moved to Hargeisa (Somaliland), must very proud of K'naan. We should support K'naan and buy his album.

  • we all brothers and sisters.... viva to EAST AFRICA. VIVA TO CONEL QADAFI for his united african states intiatives

  • It's amazing how similar Somali, Eritrean, Djiboutian, Ethiopian, and Sudanese instrumentals and melodies are. I always say we are brotherly people, but I am constantly surprised and astounded by the similarities. I love this song, as well as the song it inspired, Fire in Freetown by K'Naan.

    ~I love Somali music ILILILILILILILILILILILILILILIL­ILIL!

    coming from an Eritrean :)

  • yeah>>>>One Love

    elelelelelelelel!!!!!

  • yea..ur tribe keren look somali too...i guess we all came from same mother and dad but divided by borders and white colonists...

  • @kerenqueen07

    major similarities, I guess its da East African CONNECTION

  • Comment removed

  • @kerenqueen07 i to love Eritrean music, and sudanese,ethiopian and so.

  • @kerenqueen07 We all come from the Horn of Africa, and Horners are most similar to each other in culture, customs, genetics, and features than we are to any other people.

  • @kerenqueen07

    and at the same time fighting too, obviously we belong somehow but there are distantness which separates us 

  • waw i like both of them

    good work somlioz

  • Amazing.

    @ayanni83, thx for the translation, it fits really well w/ the rest of the lyrics in k'naan's song :)

  • Comment removed

  • calm down son, im explaining something to be, K'naan song and Mandeeq are different but the song "inspired" K'naan, I guess all you know is how to type rubbish, u should first complete your ESOL. :)

  • Comment removed

  • you are a moron! K'naan is not trying to battle Mandeeq!!! Our culture,people and history is always misrepresented and people like you definetly dont help! Yes we're still with the old stuff, because remembering our past gives us strength to fight for a better future for Somalia!

  • somalioznetwork: forget this kid he got no clue who inspired who. maybe he supporting knaan cause he from mogadisho/but i love them both

    Peace son

  • nice song...but it think sida hogasha roobka means more like the clouds or the strom that comes before the rain...that birngs the rain...or at least thats how it was explained to me...question does anyone knw what the original somali song is that in k'naan's song "America"?

  • I like this song From Maandeeqq:

    Cishqi waa hawaayi sidaa Haadka duuloo

    Adigoon Wax haynin hamuu Kugu bilaabee

    Sidii Hogosha Roobka Adunbay hilaacee

    ------------------------------­---------------------

    Ahaa haa ,, sidii hogosha roobka

    Ahaa haa ,, Adunbay hilaacee

  • wow wonderfull song thnx aboowe!!

  • Sxb, thanks for the post. Keep up the beautiful work.

  • The chorus is amazing, try listening to it while your in the mince of qayilaad. Only then you can relate to something so beautiful constructed, lyrically and etc.

  • This is not reply this is the original

  • Yeah this is the original but when i said reply i was referring to the video already uploaded by Qtv of Knaan's "fire in freetown"...im waiting for them to approve it.

  • WOW!
