"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" ("Somalis, Wake Up")^[1] was the national anthem of Somalia from 2000 until August 2012.^[2] It was adopted by the Transitional National Government, replacing the unnamed former national anthem.

Though contested, the majority believe the lyrics of the earlier Somalia National Anthem were composed by Yusuf Haji Adam and Ali Mire Awale.^[3]

History

"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is a well-known Somali song that dates from the early 1940s. It was first composed by Yusuf Haji Adam and Cali Mire Cawaale.^[4] sometime in the 1940s.

It was sung to mark independence day on July 1, 1960, and was regularly performed by children in the mornings at schools. "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" was officially adopted in July 2000 to mark the 40th anniversary of Somalian independence.^[5]

In August 2012, following the endorsement of Somalia's new Provisional Constitution, "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" was replaced as the national anthem by "Qolobaa Calankeed".

Original Somali lyrics (1947)

Soomaliyeey Toosoo

Toosoo isku tiirsada eey

Hadba kiina taag daraneey

Taageera weligiineey.

Chorus

Sharcigay isku kiin tolayoo

Luuqadaa tu waaxid ahoo

Arligiina taaka ahoo

Kuma kala tegeysaanee

Tiro adhi ah oo dhaxalaa

Sideed laydiin soo tubayoo

Ninba toban la meel marayoo

Cadowgiin idiin talin oo

Tulud geel ah oo dhacan baad

Toogasho u badheedhanee

Ma dhulkeeni oo tegey baan

cidi dhagax u tuurayneey

Qaran aan hubkuu tumayo

Tooreyda dhaafayn oo

Oo aan taar samayn karin

Uur ku taallo weynaa

Hadba waxaan laa ooyaayoo

ilmadu iiga qubaneysaa

Ikhtiyaar nin loo diidoo

La addoon sadaan ahayee
