Original Lyrics in Somali
Soomaaliyeey toosoo
Toosoo isku tiirsada ee
Haddan idin tugnaayaa
Allow yaa rabi ishaa.
Danta guud hala ogaado
Haydaaro na dhaama
Noo na fiiriya.
Gaalada joojiya
Gaalada joojiya.

Arise with strength;
For we have raised our flag,
The flag which has cost us dearly
With extreme thirst and pain.
Our flag, high in the sky
Carried by our heroes
For freedom.
Peace to the homeland,
Our sacred right
And the flag which has cost us dearly.
