Overview

The music was written and sung by Abdullahi Qarshe.[1][2] It was adopted on 1 August 2012 with the passage of the Somali national constitution,[3] in which it is enshrined.

Even though "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is often used as a de facto national anthem, the official national anthem for Somalia is "Qoloba Calankeed".

Somali lyrics

Qolobaa calankeed,
u waa ceynu,
Qolobaa calankeed,
u wa ceynu,
Innaga keenu waa,
Cirkoo kale ee,
aan caadna lahayn,
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

Arabic translation

علم أي أمة يحمل لونه الخاص
السماء (فوقنا) هل تبدو لنا
لا توجد عيوب فيه ؛ أحبها بصراحة
يا نجم الأبيض في خدمتك نحن
أنت متفوق في أي جزء من أرضنا
(كن مشهور يا نجم مثل الشمس (من بعيد
يوم قيامك ، لديك قلوبنا
طهَّرَ بالطهارة يا رايتنا
قد لا يغمرك الرب ، نصلي نحن في هذه الليلة
الجزء المنفصل من قواتنا المكونة من خمسة أفراد
أرجو من الله أن يرجعوا إليكم
هذا المصير الذي كتب لنا أن نلتقي الآن

English translation

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
