  • Stop the arguing, listen to the music.

  • God is the epitome of justice. He holds those who have held power to the highest of judgments. He regards them with scorn if they have killed and greater scorn for starting a war that equates to mass-systematic murder of innocent people. God will smite Bush with his righteous sword and he will be punished in the lake of fire for all of eternity. God Bless K'naan and other righteous soldiers of justice.

  • who cares about death from starvation and thirst?? Not the developed world. If its not their problem, its horseshit. The U.S. (mainly Bush) sees war as a damn righteous cause, spending trillions of dollars on a quixotic cause. What about enabling the poor rather than degrading them. That's whats wrong with the world. Great Song K'naan and God Damn Bush to the lake of fire for all of eternity

  • Translation

    "Today today today

    Today is a big day for you today"

    "Today today today

    Today you are sovereign today"

  • people are so ignorant. of course somalians will be excited that the most popular musician in the world is from the same place as them. stupid people who are on this page BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE SONG / SINGER then you totally disrespect the singer's country how can you like him so much but hate people just like him??? don't hate others just because that question makes you mad inside

  • @macpossecrew Your right, its like saying everyone in amarica is lazy fat and rich, i for one have a great deal of respect for the people of somalia, The people have to live in horrible conditions, seriously, in all of mogadishou (I hope i spelled that right) there is like only one x-ray machiene, and there hasnt been a stable goverment in a good 30 years!

  • i love it when obama and his wife fist pump.. americans make a big deal about everything

  • @CREEKspiration:

    This Song was originally a Somali nationalist song sang after the Somali independence from Italy. He used the original tone and rhythm of that song and he sang it at the end which says “today..today..today Is a big day today..today..today is a free day. today..today..today Is a big day today..today..today is a free day”.

  • does anyone know the phrase at the end, Manta manta manta and the rest of the phrase?

  • I like the video is expresses the music well.

  • This video is a piece of art... so beautiful!

  • also- there are scenes in it from a very interesting movie by director Tarsem Singh called "the Fall"...a visually beautiful and emotionally moving film.

  • man this guy gives me the chills.

  • i love this somali i love when he change the all somali song 2 the young ppl.

  • I feel that there's a big change going on.... it's strange i jus think that we are in a point where the world is going through a good direction. There's still so much problems in the planet but still... still.... still the economic growth of China India, Brasil, and even africa a bit gives me hope. Obama gives me hope

  • @Mahadjeey

    Amen to that. Also, I hope he can stay true to his artistry and not sell out amidst his new found pop culture fame since the World Cup.

  • @Mahadjeey

    like bob marley said "rasta don't work for no c.i.a"

  • @Mahadjeey i think i barely understood like 2 words? i'm not even sure if he spelled write more than once?

  • @Mahadjeey

    Did you know that K'naan said that he once spoke to officials in the FBI in order to try to

    get to Somaliland on tour!?

  • @Mahadjeey the cia and fbi do not kill powerful people

  • @Mahadjeey Wow u fuckin crazy dude

  • @Mahadjeey I can't even begin to point out the many obvious errors in that paragraph, the CIA should kill you for being ignorant.

  • @Mahadjeey They will not need to, they're just gonna try to kill as many of us off as they can.

  • now this is wat i call the real shit ,

  • k'naan 4ever n luv this song maanta manta waa malin weyna manta manta maanta madaxeyn banaani manta

  • This is a song song by his aunt Magool called Maanta Maanta ..today today ..it was a celberation but K'naan in his amazing artistic incarnation and inclination changed it to sad story and misery due the worst things going on in our homeland and all of Africa and other parts of the world.

  • their's a spot open now, l beleive he can hold it.

  • Love this song, wish it had made it onto Troubadour.

  • K'Naan is brilliant ... I can't imagine what my life would be like without his music. It means so much more than just hip - hop.
