On the contrary i heard in Gedo, Somalia if they don't play Goobile girls won't be considered married, any truth to this?

Frank, Nabeela is reer-gedood, if your planning to marry her in the future, you betta learn how to do the Goobile!..

Dsade, Is there a longer version of that song..?

[Frank]

^ Marry someone? Ma aniga? Sxb i was born to have fun and leave the marriage biz to others until i am grey and ready to spare some sp*rm! Kidding, but Nabeela's qabiil is "Loving and being loved" and Gobile song is out the door in our book.

That's because Goobile is a very imporant part of our history in southern Somalia and it helped us through a period we needed to survive to make a mark there.

When the Marehans frist came south and they had to go on war missions protectin themselves from the oromo, jareer, and, what they now call the, "digle and mirifle" folks around there, the woman would wait anxiously. when the men came back, the mareexaan women in happiness would greet them festively. goobile is old word for guulow. the dance started with the suugaan to praise their men for valor, intelligence, and over all display of manlines and masculinity.

it started like this with the marehan women praisin their men:

AR GOOBILE GOOBILO
GOOBILE SAAR GEDOOD
U GUUXAA SAAR GEDOOD
GU'GIISOO TOBAN DHAMAYN (before he is 10 yrls old)
GEEDAHA LOO FADHIISAYO (people come to him under the tree)
GAR YO XAAJADA FALOO (he is able to judge and give gar <--sign of nin-nimo)
MARKAY GURI'GIISA TAHAY (when it is his house)
MARKAY DAGAALKU TAHAY (or when he is at war)
....


it started like that with the mareexaan women trying to keep the morale of their men up and it was like that until recently when weddings were popularized and goobilo became a more weddin thing then anything else.

DawladSade, sxb thanks for explaining it to us. I never knew the Gobile was important part of Mareexan history. I once went to a wedding where the groom and the bride weren't mareexaan and they did the gobile thing. I wonder why? If it's a mareexaan thing why others are abusing it? anways thanks once again.

[DawladSade]

Well now you know and about those non-MX Somalis using it in their wedding lets just say Somalis are "monkey see, monkey do"

[Frank]

Or NOT! Anways thanks sxb and since you are all up in the Mareexan histary-educating-department, why do you all call your women, "Bilcaantii or Bilcaantaas" Isn't that like putting them down?

[DawladSade]

Rubbish that way

[Shankaroon_614]

Frank, those are the reer gadoods, not the reer Mudugs

[Nabeela]

Shank, I find reer mudug(s) accent weird and horrible.


"hides"

[DawladSade]

Nabeela wallahi I am glad the Gedood have not taken on the raxanweyn or the rest konfureed accent or I would never claim you guys.

The usual screech we can allow tho, it come to you guys by way of ogaadeenka.

[Advocator]

Nabeela, I feel you sis, I cant stand the barbarians dhulguduuds, viva Gedo!

[DawladSade]
