[Intro – Somali Traditional Kaban]

[Verse 1 – Male Vocal]

Ja-aayl-kan i dhaawacey

This love that wounded me

Ja-aayl-kan i dhalan rogey

This love that transformed me

Ja-aayl-kan i dhaansadey

This love that carried me away

Ja-aayl-kii dhabta ahaa

The true love

Soo dhawaatey halistii

The danger approached

Markaad iga dhaqaaqdee

When you moved away from me

[Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal]

Bal inaan ku dhiirado

So that I may dare

Dhehdaan xidhanayaa

I will wear a scarf

Malmal baan dhiteeysanee

We are making a fragrant paste

[Chorus – Male Vocal]

Dhoof nooli kulantee

A living journey meets

Ha dhalantaalin aa-shaqa

Do not spoil the love

Dhakso iigu soo noqo

Return to me quickly

[Verse 2 – Female Vocal]

Anba dhiigu kama fulo

My blood does not leave

Dhanbaal wadaha beerkoo

The messenger of the heart

Sidaan dha-hal u yeeshuu

How I wish to have a child

I-deh-dagey ma guu-ree

It did not move me

Waxan dhuuni ka u-naa

I am only a wanderer

Dan-danaansi kaliyee

Just a taste

[Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal]

Way dhaa-mi-saa weel

It will fill the vessel

Ilma-da iga dha-eey-saa

It makes my tears flow

Dhaban-kayga qooy-see

Wetting my cheek

[Chorus – Female Vocal]

Dhawr nabad kusii joog

Stay safe for a while

Ha dhantaalin aa-shaqa

Do not spoil the love

Dhakhso waan usoo noqon

I will return quickly

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3 – Male Vocal]

Dhaqaaq toobiyaha qaad

Take the right path

Dhulku taako taako

The land is step by step

Dha-raartuna da-laalimo

And the greenery is shade

Malaa igao ku dhawroo

Perhaps God is near me

Wax ku dhiba Ilaahey

May God not bring you harm

Kuuma soo dhaweeyee

He does not bring you closer

Gaadiidkana mid aan dhi-in-oo

And the vehicle, one that does not make noise

Dheeliyeen usii ra’aa

And I will ride it balanced

Dhakhso meel walba u taga

Go everywhere quickly

[Chorus – Male Vocal]

Dhoof nooli kulantee

A living journey meets

Ha dhantaalin aa-shaqa

Do not spoil the love

Dhakhso iigusoo noqo

Return to me quickly

[Instrumental Break – Kaban Solo]

[Verse 4 – Female Vocal]

Ja-aayl aan dhamaaneyn

A love that never ends

Ja-aayl aan i dhaafeeyn

A love that does not leave me

Dhux-iyo wadnaha galey

It entered my heart and soul

Ja-aayl-kii dhulkeeygiyo

The love of my land

Halkan igu dhi-baa-yaan

They call me here

De-bed u dhoofinayaa

I am traveling abroad

[Verse 5 – Female Vocal]

Waan-soo dhii-bi doo-naa

I will send

Dhan-baal-iyo waraaqo aan

Messages and letters that

Dhii-g ku-soo qo-raayee

I will write with blood

[Final Chorus – Female Vocal]

Dha-wr nabad kusi-i -joog

Stay safe for a while

Ha dhan-taalin aashaqa

Do not spoil the love

Dhakhso waan usoo noqon

I will return quickly

[Outro – Kaban Fades Out]

Dhakhso waan usoo noqon

I will return quickly

Jaaylkii dhabta ahaa

The true love
