Hinjinne u sara kaca
Calankaan harraad iyo
𝄆 Haydaar u mudateen! 𝄇

Hir cagaarku qariyayiyo
Habkay samadu tahayoo
Xiddig dhi igleh hoorshoo
Caddaan lagu hadheeyaay.

𝄆 Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal. 𝄇

Soolisnuh inkih solaa
Simbiliiy kah ningicle
𝄆 Bakaarat kah sugunne! 𝄇

Bulci kaak qaran sido
Way gubi kak anxar lusa
Cutukti caxte caydu
Qidi wagri silaalo.

𝄆 Faylay heebati kumuu.

English translation French translation Arabic translation

Arise with strength! For we have raised our flag,
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! 𝄇

Lève-toi avec force ! Parce que nous avons hissé notre drapeau,
Le drapeau qui nous a coûté cher
𝄆 Avec une soif et une douleur extrêmes. 𝄇

Notre drapeau, dont les couleurs sont le vert éternel de la terre,
Le bleu du ciel et le blanc, la couleur de la paix;
Et dans le centre de l'étoile rouge de sang.

𝄆 Oh notre drapeau, quel spectacle magnifique !
Oh notre drapeau, quel spectacle magnifique ! 𝄇


انهضوا بقوة إلى حيث رفعنا رايتنا
تلك الراية التي كلفتنا الغالي والنفيس
𝄇 مع مزيد من العطش والألم 𝄆

رايتنا بألوانها التي أخذت أبد الدهر،
أخضرها من الأرض، وأزرقها من السماء؛
والأبيض لون السلام، وسطه النجم الأحمر بلون الدم

𝄇 يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر
يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر 𝄆
