Last thing Somalia needs is a etio actress thats whant to get her 15 min of fame by saing that she has "roots" in Somalia.

1. First of all, you clearly dont speak Somali, since i cant understand a word. Only the word "jidka"

2. Second, how are you Somali?? Your father is Italian and your Mother is Ethiopean right? Why dont you speak of the Poverty and corruption in Ethiopea?

3. You are not Muslim. Somalia is. No Somali will relate to you. And Knaan is already representing Somalia.

[MrFaarah08]

WTF!!!!

[boninamedina]

love this song this woman is somali believe me..my mom use to babysit her as a child her father was a italian doctor..her mom is born in somalia but she was originally from ethiopia she was a orthodox christian..so no more guessing i hope..somalis ethiopians sudanese we are mostly the same we lookalike we accept gotta accept that we are almost alike...peace out stop hating on ur brothers and sisters

[ahmedw5]

jidka means the road, not the line, i am somali my self.

my mother yus to sing this song to me when i was a kid to. love this song...

[dxd20]

kkk waar wuxuu maxay ku heesaysaa kkkk

[xXpreciousgurlxX]

oh and when you say reer xamaar do u mean xamaars who live in xamaar or the reer xammars that are afro arab or watever

[xXpreciousgurlxX]

ncie song my mother used to sing this song to me wen i was a baby.nwayzz yer why u ppl chatting shit on dis thing 4. Saba was Born in somalia and her father is italian and her mother is ogaden wich makes her mother somali. My granfathers mother was Ogaden and she knows shes 100% somali u ethopians know u took over that land so stop claiming people in eastern ethopia are ethopians because that side belonged to somalia and

[70steps2nazretskuul]

lol if it makes you feel better no one cares if you claim ogaden as somalia at this point, at least no one that is of course not stupid

[hoyaddawas]

niice

[MoiChocolade]

my mum use to sing this to me when I was baby, its a beautiful somali lullaby

[lilmoneyakabeauty]

wajcaa la hi

(i love it)

[977davide]

sei fantastica

hai una voce da paura

la tua musica è ritmo, energia, sole

[Wohocktdebus]

Her story focuses on her identity as multilayered and with many different influences. She sings in her mother tongue a type of Somali that is spoken in Reer Xamar, a quarter of Mogadishu, and has real expression and rhythm in itself. The result is an album which is a real mix of contemporary and traditional.

[owsalax]

[akooord]

peole forget half or nearly half the SOMALI population live in EASTERN ETHIOPIA UNDER OCCUPATION, BUT IF SHE WAS OGADEN SHE WOULD HAVE STATED THAT SHE'S SOMALI.

[hanna2300]

n those other wordz ur sayin

[hanna2300]

Lool

true have u ever heard of somalian tht live in eithiopia buh are originally Somali she grew up in Mogdishu bc shes somalian!

[Pretty10000]

obviously shes reer xamar listen her words wen she says hawartaa and umaayeey. foreigners who cum to somali and gave birth children in somalia dey wouldnt learn reer hamar lang or spoken only dey would speak offical somali language. anway shes got prety voice.

[hanna2300]

whts "reer xamar?"

[LadyBube]

reer xamar's are ethnic minorities in somalia....they're still somali but have their own dialect and such...anymore questions..feel free to ask...

love this song...

:)

[LadyBube]

reer xamars are an ethnic minority in somalia who have their own dialect and such...

[hardtimesblues]

brava saba

[ayaledahir]

this is a lovely song i dont know why people are complaining about certain things, but yeah she is also beautiful, has anyone got any idea how old she is ?

[chocojunky]

said is right the whites have only this beauty if they marry a somali ;D

But it can be that the chorus is ethiopian (which the man sing along)

[AskariWaryaa]

The chorus is a west African language, I think hes from Cameroon.

[said2007]

shes not ethopian, shes half italian half somali, and shes singing the lullaby her mother sang to her as a baby in somali. stop claiming her, ethopians are very ugly and dont look nothing like exotic somalians.

[worldisc]

She's half Italian and half Ethiopian, raised in Somalia.

[AskariWaryaa]

Somali parents exiled from Ethiopia, they were from the Somali region of Ethiopia.

5 million Somalis live in Ethiopia!!!!

[soodag]

Mamma mia, che bella canzone.. Huuwaaya huuwa - hooyadaa ma jooogtoo. It takes me back to old good memories.

[ahmddin]

Ethiopians have such an amazing beauty...The ladies though....the guyz r lucky to have such beautiful girls to live with considering what they look.....:) tx for posting man...actually that include me too...

[BoqorKing]

Saba You are Truelly Creative, Stylish and Great Artist indeed. You made as rock with tears in our eyes to express love with your moms. Thanks you sis keep it up .

[njoroge23]

Saba's hoio (or as we say hooyo) is habasha who lived in mogadiscio (or xamar) in the late 1970s, got to married to an italian beau and migrated to italy. Because of her dress-style, i.e. western-style, and mahogany complexion, people used to encircle Saba's hoio with curiosity at the market at ceelgaab.

Capisci AskariWaryaa?

[AskariWaryaa]

Her Story

The story of Saba Anglana is one of struggle, exploration and triumph. Saba was born in Mogadishu, the unstable capital of Somalia, during the oppressive rule of Siad Barre. Saba's mother was born to an exiled Somalian in neighboring Ethiopia. Her father, on the other hand, was a former Italian military leader who left Italy for Somalia following WWII.

Kapeesh njoroge23

[AskariWaryaa]

Wow my mum used to sing that to me as a child!

Great!!!!

[younghov44]

LOL BRADWM.. how can you say she has ethiopian mother. when she is singin in SOMALI!

but 1 love for all EAST AFRICA... peace

[keysi07]

Saba you go girl.. keep your somali heritage.

And best of luck For you Dear.

From:Somali Boy

[yonkiss2000]

saba heestan waa hees aad ufiican waxay i xasuusi say caruur nimaday dii sis sii wad heesa ha somaliyed dad kii u dhashay somaliga oo kusoo koray somali ga saas ma u xasuustan dhaqan kii iyo caruur nimadii wixii looqadi jiray good girl

[hasbadi]

great song waayo waayo

[satellite1203]

Chenta Kolbo Meilio Queirro..shotoro

[Afgooyee]

Correction!!! Saba is a half Somali born in Mogadishu....

[Jitaalloow]

Her mother is Somali from Xamar. It's her grandfather who is from the Somali region in Ethiopia - Saba Anglana is her name and she was on italian newspapers and magazines talking her discovery of her Somali heritage.

This is the most famous childhoood Somali lulluby song

[SamiiiiiRa]

That makes alot of sense. I was wondering why she doesnt mention her Ethiopian heritage if she is half ethiopian but yeah I am ogaden. If you are born in Ethiopia you would be considered Ethiopian in the West. But nice her mother is Ogaden Somali and Saba is born in Muqdisho.

[Jitaalloow]

No Samiira her mom is not ogaden but Reer Xamar-ka Cad Cad banaadiri- could have been her grannie was adari or caruusa or something

[jaccout]

I LOVE THIS NUMBER!

[geeska]

lovely, waht'a coicidence I always sing for my children great somalian lullyby. keep the good work

[oabusa]

The lyrics are definetly Somali adopted from a traditinal Somali song usually sing for babies whose mothers are away.

This artist took the lyrics and put her own style and flavor to it. If you like enjoy it. If not move on. Don't hang up on who is who? It does not matter. It is all about the music.

[mamadaw]

my mom used to sign this to me wen i was kid baby . this song reminds me my lovely mama i miss you mama !

[s1a1d1e1]

WOW SABA LOVE U

[Muna1189]

OMG this is a luluby...WOW so cool Saba is amazing and very creative

[abdoulaziz9]

I started saying the words after her and I was wondering where did i hear this and it came to me that it was one of my childhood lullaby. its amazing to hear it again and I am very great full to this wonderful woman saba for singing it

[ceersan]

I've recently bought the album "Jidka" and it's from A to Z supreme! I give Saba and her band anything more than 5 starts. Bravo and many thanks!

[greeneyez1012]

lol i heard she is half somali and italian

[worldisc]

She was born in Somalia to an Italian father and an Ethiopian mother.

[SamiiiiiRa]

Her mother is Ogaden Somali from Eastern Ethiopia

[AskariWaryaa]

Her mother is Somali Ogaden born in Mogadishu. The song is a Somali lullaby!

[graduate12]

Um her mother is Somali not fucking Ethiopian just so u know Somalis live in Ethiopia that doesn't make them Ethiopian

[worldisc]

Her mother is Ethiopian.

[fathiya22]

What? who said they never heard this popular Somali lullaby? You need to check your Somali-ness! Kudos for Saba for singing this beautiful! She shows and sings about the deep connection and affinity she has to her mother!

Some of you forget your mothers and motherland!

[MachVelli]

my mom used to sing this to me as a kid!!

[sunaari1]

This is a somali lullaby known almost every place somalis live in this planet. I still sung to my kids when they are carrying or going to bed. Kudos to her even thought she was kid when she left somalia, but still memorized these kind of nastaligia lullaby.

[KingSoomaal]

Nice! loving the vibe, i have not heard this lullaby since i was a kid...huuwaaya huuwaa hooyadaa ma joogta

[laascaanood87]

damn this shit sick.. somali aan fahmayn..hahahahahhaha

[Jacaylbaro]

Didn't get it

[goodylambar]

you need to consider learing somali once again..this is just a popular somali Lullaby sang for kids at bedtime...

[Jacaylbaro]

May be not in my area

[bradwmn]

I believe most of it is sung in Xamar Weyne - a dialect from Somalia. Also, I think Saba does speak Ethiopian.

[LuvEthiopia]

what language is that? does she speak ethiopian?
