Hush little baby go to sleep
aabo is gonna buy you a brand new sheep

Seriously though, are there somali lullabies apart from "hooyo ma joogto, aabo ma joogo"?

kalia,

Good topic!

I don't remember any exactly but it is whole literature of its own in Northern part of Somalia. It has its own melody and rhythm .
It starts like “hobeeya hobeeya…” like Somali poems starts with “hooyaalayeey.. hooyaalayeey”.

You need to ask grand mothers or Qaldaan mothers(Isaack , Dhuloos and Warsangeli moms). I am sure they know it!.
