what's the difference?
Its actually also hard for somalis within somalia unless they are educated on the somali language. Somali poetry and songs use big vocabulary
Completely different because these are two types of somali poetry(maanso) so they are composed differently. Simply write somali gabay on tiktok and u will see the difference between saar and gabay
Completely different because these are two types of somali poetry(maanso) so they are composed differently. Simply write somali gabay on tiktok and u will see the difference between saar and gabay
af somali and english translation is hard because the 2 languages dont go hand to hand and the composer uses higher form of af somali
But heres a short translation of wan iyo waraabe:
The waan said: "Now that the colonizers has left (European colonizers) brother, I no longer feel disgust (in my own land) and I now greet you well. My message to you is clear and short, with you I seek no intention of nationhood, the land is mine, let us separate our paths on the day of reasoning ( one truthful day)."
(The Hyena) He replied: "indeed you are right, I was preoccupied with the conditions of the bygone era, that the times had changed, only you have enlightened. You are part of my empire, so be my companion and don't shatter my heart to pieces."
And he replied (wan): "truth is, he who favours you shall receive gratitude and ask such in return, but I know your true colours well. I greet you with peace. My message is clear & short, with you I seek no intention of nationhood, the land is mine let us separate our paths on the day of reasoning

Wow, Ms Shorty, I am impressed you are listening to these greats.
This is a brilliant patriotic 'Saar', reflective of the independence struggle against the colonial vagabonds by the late Cadhays Ciise Kaarshe.
@Berke is right, in the Maanso gen, this is the 'Saar' genre, and borrows from the works of G Orwell of his Animal Farm magnum opus.
It is rather long, and shall make an attempt in turns. Here is the initial serving in good order.
* Ewe (nation) and Hyena (colonial vagabonds)

Of course I'm impressive ~
I've heard of this saar before. I recently ran into a video that used this saar in the background. It sounded so familiar, so I went on a search to find out what it was and where I heard it.
Thank you so much! I'm still going through your post. You'll hear from me soon
I'm still waiting for the rest
