    That's my all time favourit song.

    I love it too! It’s an epic tale of love and tragedy; an oracle within which the moral values of an entire culture is encoded. It’s a pity that no-one (that I know of) has ever produced an unabridged cover of it, probably because that would be impractical/too long for a song. EDIT: I just remembered that Beledweyn, another epic Hadrawi tale, is about as long and Samatar sings it in an unabridged form!

    Actually some of the new guys can beat and do a better than the original singers, but I agree most of them butcher.

     

    If you can a better job, Ahmed Gacayte is long dead, AUN, no issue with new comer keeping it up , innovating it for new gen

    Couldn't possibly agree more. We shouldn't have issues with new singers keeping the classics alive; rather, it should be encouraged. Some singers are of course naturally hard to beat, or even equalise for that matter - people like Magool and Gacayte; but I remember one time listening to the above-mentioned 'jacaayl dhiig ma lagu qoray' version of Birimo and being shocked by how really good it was.

    Ninba waxuu tilmaamaa, halka taranka roobkiyo

    Laga helo tigaadee, tayyo lagu majiirtee

    Taan dumar ku leeyahay, waa Gabadh Togdheeroo

    Toban iyo lix jirahoo, hiddihii ku taadhee

     

    Maxammuudi toob weyn, saddex qayyd ka tolatayoo

    Oo daraya muusguna, taakiyo badh muuqdee

    Dhacluhuna taraxxa oo, tusbax luqunta galisoo

    Sidii boqorad taash xidhan, hadalkeeda tirisoo

    Kolba erey ku tuurtee

    Sida timo haldhaaleey, ugu tagay hurdada xalay

    Anigaba Togdheer baa, turdun iiga muuqdaa

     

    Noole wuxuu ka taahaa, ama salal ku sheegaa

    Ama gacan ku taabtaa, halka nabar ka taabtee

    Burco
    waxay ku taalaa, xiddidada tin iyo cidhib

    Tabinayaa dhigee, hadba dhan u talawshee

    Todobaatan jeer baan, soo toosay xalayoo

    Taan dumar ku leeyahay, waa gabadh Togdheer

     

    Peace to all!

    Good stuff! You don't write it like that, though; the convention is to write one verse in every line, not two!

    I fell in love with this song many years ago -- I still view it as one of the most beautiful songs ever!


    ♫ Dhagar-qabe - Axmed Gacayte ♫

    Anigoo dhallaanoo
    qalbigana ka dhimanoo
    dhaayaha wax ka arkeyn

    Arladaba dhamaanteed
    dhalanteed igaga jiro
    dhaxalkii adowgeey

    Inta aan dharaar qubay
    dheydii haraatiyey
    ma u dhiibay dumaroo
    taladeyda la carantaye
    dhootin ma isku dhaliyoo
    meel xun anigu ma is dhigay

    Dheda roob ma noqotoo
    biyo lagama dhaansho
    dhuuma lagama buuxshee

    Nimey talladu dhaaftiyo
    nin laf dheer ka kala jabay
    labaduba dhantaalmee

    Anigaa ka dhiganoo
    dhinaceygan taala
    dhagama xun iyo ceebiyo
    hurdin ma isku dhaliyo
    meel xun aniga ma is dhigay

    Dhagar qabe abeesiyo
    halaq lama dhunkado oo
    dhabta luguma qaatee

    Haweenka ka dhiganoo
    ninki dhinaca saara
    ka idleeya dhiigee

    Anaay igu dhex tuureen
    dhamac iyo dab shidanoo
    qeyrkey i dhaafoo
    dhanna maanta haaysane
    waxan tala idiin dhigay
    haku dhiiranaanina.
    ♫

    The lyrics, the way he sings/delivers it, the kaman -- it's a thing of beauty and perfection!

    Since the US tends to fiddle with the affairs of everyone (being a superpower and all), I would say this has bearing on pretty much everyone on the planet. Besides, if some of those republican nutcases come into power, I think humans might even go extinct.

    How much do radios cost again? (the police one will be great).

    Here is the police one. It's also available all over the shops in London for £10-20. Disclaimer: you seem to be eager about tuning into police transmissions. I hereby declare that I'm not responsible for any illegality that may stem from your possession of this item!

    :D

    Owning a radio is not sad; it's better than owning a television. I own one, but my wireless headphone has built-in radio, so I usually use that one instead -- a weird thing is that it can monitor local police transmissions with amazing clarity (not that I listen often).

    Garnaqsi, NG has NEVER liked any newbies. You've to make it to full nomad before he calls your posts 'stuff and nonsense'.

    Well, that explains a lot then - thank you!

    Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

    I'm student from UK. I'm starting graduate program this autumn. I used to be a nomad in another life, which explains my presence here, as I found the forum while trying to buy some camel milk online! I love Somali literature -- music, poetry, and all the rest of it!

    I agree the Shababites brought a lot of destructive ideology, but this jilbaab craze preceeded them. Even here in the West a lot of Somali ladies are wearing jilbaab. I dont get it. I find it really curious.

    PS: I agree with you Garbasaar was/is beautiful.

    I think it came with the civil war. It's known that extreme religiosity rises in hard times.
