The lyrics of the National Anthem of Somalia
Qolobaa Calankeedu
Qolobaa calankeedu,
waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa
Cirkoo kale ee,
aan caadna lahaynoo,
Ee caashaqa ee.
Xidigyahay caddi waad,
Naa ciidamisee,
Carradaa kaligaa
aadiga u curad ee
cadceeda sideeda
la caan noqo eey
Cishadaad dhalataad calooshaydii
Sidii culaygii cidaad marisee
ha ku celin cawoy dhahe ee
Any Nation’s Flag
Any nation’s flag, bears its own color
The sky above us, does ours look like
Defects it has none; love it with candor
Oh you White Star, at your service we are
Superior you are, in any part of our land
Be famous oh Star, like the sun of the far
On the day you arose, our hearts you have
Purified with pureness, Oh you our flag
Lord may not dim you, pray we in this night
The detached part of, our forces of five
I beseech from God, their return you cause
This fate that wrote, for us to meet now
The National Anthem of Somalia was written and composed by Abdullahi Qarshe.
Somalia has not an official motto.
