The Somali pride

[whitehartlane]

It begins when we are little foetus
Striving for perfection even though
we are not, the Somali pride
is custom made. Fit to last,
In Hargeysa, we are daringly pride
In JigJiga we are bravely pride
In Gaalkacyo we are fearlessly pride
In Mogadishu we are rebelliously pride
In kismaayo we are valiantly pride
Our survival, but not our revelation
a pride so humble yet poised
Somalia, the chauvinist nation

This pride provides for us, speaks
for all from Djibouti to Garbahaarey and,
between JigJiga and Hobyo
Unpleasantly surprises those
who underestimate it
as it is possessed by the Somali nomad
I repeat, only by the Somali nomad
This pride is our pride and this
pride is our history, culture,
present, tradition and our future.

don't go to Bosaso,
for we do not appreciate meddlers
don't drive through Burco,
for we do not welcome the unwanted
Be cautious in Baydhabo,
For she is cautious of you
Baladweyne is baladka weyne
bordering the colonial border
Balcad is not the place
To test the Somali pride

I am a proud Somali
