[Verse 1]
Mohamed Issack Shale, magac midnimo,
Mohamed Issack Shale, a name of unity,
Caddaalad iyo walaaltinimo.
Justice and brotherhood.
Gacmaha is qabsada, garab is siiya,
Hold hands, support each other,
Bulshadeennu wadajir bay ku guulaysataa.
Our community succeeds through togetherness.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oday iyo hooyo, dhallinyaro,
Elder and mother, youth,
Naafaba ha yimaaddo, meel baa idiin taal.
Even the disabled, there is a place for you.
Qof walba codkiisa ha la maqlo,
Let everyone's voice be heard,
Wadajir baan ku dhisannaa mustaqbal.
Together we build a future.
[Chorus]
Garissa kacoo! Garissa kacoo!
Garissa, wake up! Garissa, wake up!
Midnimo, caddaalad, walaaltinimo!
Unity, justice, brotherhood!
Cod kasta ha maqnaado? Maya, ha maqnaado—
Should every voice be absent? No, let it be heard—
Qofna yaan la takoorin, dhammaanteen waa isku mid!
No one should be discriminated against, we are all equal!
[Verse 2]
Gees walba ka yeedha, warka gaadhsiiya,
Shout from every corner, spread the word,
Qof kasta xaq buu u leeyahay in la dhegaysto.
Everyone has the right to be heard.
Kala duwanaanshaheenna xoog bay noo tahay,
Our diversity is our strength,
Is-ixtiraam iyo naxariis aynu ku soconno.
Let us proceed with mutual respect and compassion.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oday iyo hooyo, dhallinyaro,
Elder and mother, youth,
Naafaba ha yimaaddo, meel baa idiin taal.

Qof walba codkiisa ha la maqlo,
Let everyone's voice be heard,
Wadajir baan ku dhisannaa mustaqbal.
Together we build a future.

Garissa kacoo! Garissa kacoo!
Garissa, wake up! Garissa, wake up!
Midnimo, caddaalad, walaaltinimo!

Cod kasta ha maqnaado? Maya, ha maqnaado—
Should every voice be absent? No, let it be heard—
Qofna yaan la takoorin, dhammaanteen waa isku mid!

[Bridge]
Hal cod, hal xaq,
One voice, one right,
Hal bulsho oo is garab taagan.
One community standing together.
Garissa, aynu wada kacno,
Garissa, let's all rise,
Qofna dib ha looga tegin!
No one should be left behind!
[Final Chorus]
Garissa kacoo! Garissa kacoo!
Garissa, wake up! Garissa, wake up!
Mohamed Issack Shale—midnimo iyo caddaalad!

Qofna yaan la takoorin—Garissa kacoo!

Garissa, wake up!
Qof walba codkiisa ha la maqlo!
