[Somali] Upbeyond

Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Maqal tallaabooyinka imanaya!

Laga bilaabo hal xaafad illaa malaayiin kale,  
Maqal garaaca albaabka garaacaya.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Maqashay dadku heesayaan?

Kor, kor, ka sarreeya!  
Wanaagga sii soco!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Habeenkii shalay laambad baa waddada iftiimisay,  
Subaxdii waxaa jira kumannaan tallaabo.  
Kuwa aan hadal heli karin  
Way helayaan erayo ay ku hoggaamiyaan.

Halka ay darbiyo jireen, waxaan samaynaynaa albaabbo,  
Halka ay shakiyo jireen, waxaan weydiinaynaa wax badan.  
Sweefin waxay dadka ka caawinaysaa inay is xiraan,  
Kuwa badan ayaa abuuri kara, is dhaafsan kara, horena u socon kara.

Riyo yar ma jiro oo isbeddel bilaabi karin,  
Nolosha fog ma jiro oo aan la beddeli karin.  
Uma baahnin inaan sugno cirka saxda ah,  
Waxaan dhisi karnaa inta qorraxdu soo baxdo.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Maqashay? (Maqal!)  
Ma dareentay? (Dareen!)

Wax fiican baa socda,  
Waxaa jira meel adiga iyo aniga.

Fursad qaado, gacan siiso,  
Riyood kale ha istaago.  
Marka dunidu wada heesto,  
Xitaa cod yar baa xoog leh!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Kor, kor, ka sarreeya!  
Wanaagga sii soco!

Jidhkaaga dhaqaaji, heestan ku hees,  
Qof kasta ha yimaado!

Kor, kor, ka sarreeya!  
Darbiyada duugga ah ha soo dhacaan!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, waa kan,  
Daawo malaayiin fursadood oo koraan!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Garaaca sii wad!

Hal gacan oo kale, hal fursad oo kale,  
Siyaado farxadda adduunka u wada ciyaar!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Qof kasta, yiraahda
