  • Adunyada han waynida ilmaha loo halgamayaye, hobalayow heedhe, Hawadana ragba tago dayaxa hoos u soo dayaye hoobalayow heedhe, Halka ninki hurdee taas ogeen halisti weeyane hobalayow heedhe, Anagana habenada dhashiyo hilibka moyanee hobalayow heedhe, Inaa dhiig dhulkena u hurna way haboontahaye HOBALAYOW HEEDHE

    K'naan keep it bro we love u

  • Those who are non-Somali. I dont think the word Hobaaloo hee dheh means any thing in English its just a melody we sing. In Somalia when nomads are watering their cows, camels, sheep or any thing they often develop their own melodies to make them forget the work and make time pass. This is the origin of our poetry. We often begin with a well known melody and end it the same manner. This is the same. Its like Latino's CHA CHA
