Ruun
Vocals by Lafoole, lyrics by Laabsaalax
Translation by Abdihakim Omer and Christina Woolner
The back bone and
The blood cells and
Also the rest of the body
You hold them together
In the abdomen, liver and heart
You have laid out the prayer mat
You have roots in my body
In my organs and cells
And you are in the lungs
No one else is allowed
The wife who has gone through hardship with me;
And the one who share patience with me;
You are trust-worthy;
You are the one who keeps the promise with me;
The reward you are deserved, I will
Never forget it;
You are in my heart;
O Ruun! Know that,
I love only you in the world
Thundering rain in the morning
and you are like its good-scented breeze,
you are fresh water quenching my thirsty,
You are pleasant to my eye
you are the base and the pillar
that holds the house;
like the rhino
looks at her baby kindly,
you are in a heart that loves you,
nobody else is allowed
You are the person helped me succeed
You are rays of light
You have roots in my body
In my organs and cells
And you are in the lungs
No one else is allowed
The wife who has gone through the hardship with me and shared patience with me
You are trust-worthy
You are the one who keeps the promise with me
The reward you deserve, I will
Never forget i
You are in my heart;
O Rakasey! Know that
I love only you in the world
Laf dhabarta adhaxda iyo
Unugyada dhiigee jidhkaa
Laxaadka intiisa kale
Adimadii celinayaay
Ubucda beerka iyo wadnaha
Adaa masallaha dhigtoo
Xubnaha jidkha unugiyo
Ruxaad ku abuurantoo
Irridda sambabbada degtoo
Cid kale looma ogolaa
Afadii dhibta ila martee
Samirka ila qaybsataay
Amaanada dhawrtaa eey
Balanta ila oofisaay
Abaalkaad iga mudnay
Waligay ma iloobayoo
Qalbigaad ku abuurantee
Ogow Ruuney ogow
Adaan ifka kuu jeclahay
Aroortii cir onkaday iyo
Udgoonki gufaacadaay
Xareedii i oon tirtiyo
Raxmadaan ku il doogsaday
Asaaskii udub dhigiyo
Awalka tiir isu hayaay
Siday u wiilshu ilmaheeda
Eegmada ugul laxawsataa
Uurkuu nugul seexatoo
Cid kale looma ogaloo
Ijabadaan ka aflaxaay
Ilayska nuur daalacshaay
Xubnaha jidhka unugiyo
Ruxaad ku aroortayoo
Iridka sababada degtoo
Cid kale looma ogalaa
Afadii dhibta ila martee
Samirka ila qaybsataay
Amaanada dhawrtaa eey
Balanta ila oofisaay
Abaalkad iga mudnayd
Waligay ma iloobayoo
Qalbigaad ku abuurantee
Ogow rakasey ogow
Adaan ifka kuu jeclahay
