The Genius behind the Balwo - Cabdi Deeqsi "Sinimo"

[AbuDujanah]

Sinimo was born in the 1920s in Jaarahorato, an historical village situated 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Boorama, Somalia. He was the fourth son in a family of eighteen children, consisting of nine boys and nine girls.

The first band Sinimo created was in Borama during 1944 and it was called Balwo. Members of his band were:

[AbuDujanah]

The first song ever written in the romantic genre of Balwo by Abdi Sinimo in Saylac when his truck broke down,

1. HILLAACA BAD WEYN
KA BILING YIDHIYOW
XAGGAY BASRI CAAWA JOOGTAA
BALWOOY

O'LIGHTENING FLASHING
OVER THE WIDE SEA
WHERE BASRA
SPENDS TONIGHT ?
BALWO ...

2. SIDII HOORRIMAAD
HILLAAC KU JIRAAD
HABEENKII IFTIIMISAA HERER
BALWOOY ...

AS A LIGHTENING IN RAIN TIME
YOU IN THE NIGHT TIME
BRIGHTEN THE TOWN OF HARAR
BALWO ...

3. INTAAN BADDA IYO
BERRIGA MARAYOY
BULUUG LAYDH
BALAN WAA HALKEENII
BALWOOY ...

WHILE I AM IN THE HIGH SEAS AND
LANDS WONDERING
O' MY SPOT-LIGHT,
OUR PROMISE WILL REMAIN AS IT WAS.
BALWO ...

4. TIMAHA MADAXAYGA
TINKAAN U JACLAA
EE AAN HADBA TAABTO
BAAD TAHAY
BALWOOY ...

YOU ARE TO ME
LIKE THE ONE HAIR I LOVE
FROM ALL THE HAIR OF MY HEAD
AND WHICH I OFTEN CARESS.
BALWO ...
