The lyrics of the National Anthem of Djibouti
Djibouti
Hinjinne u sara kaca
Calankaan harraad iyo
Haydaar u mudateen!
Haydaar u mudateen!
Hir cagaarku qariyayiyo
Habkay samadu tahayoo
Xiddig dhi igleh hoorshoo
Caddaan lagu hadheeyaay.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
Djibouti
Arise with strength!
For we have raised our flag,
The flag which has cost us dear
The flag which has cost us dear
With extremes of thirst and pain.
Our flag, whose colours are the everlasting green of the earth,
The blue of the sky, and white, the colour of peace;
And in the centre the red star of blood.
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
The National Anthem of Djibouti was written by Aden Elmi and composed by Abdi Robleh.
The motto of Djibouti: Unity, Equality, Peace.
