Djibouti National Anthem Lyrics

Djibouti

Latin Transliteration

Hinjinne u sara kaca

Calankaan haraad iyo

Haydaar u mudateen.


Hir cagaarku qariyayiyo

Habkay samadu tahayoo

Xiddig dhi igleh hoorshoo

Cadaan lagu hadheeyaay.


Maxaa haybad kugu yall.



English Translation

Arise with strength; for we have raised our flag,

The flag which has cost us dear

With extremes of thirst and pain.


Our flag, whose colours are the everlasting green of the earth,

The blue of the sky, and white, the colour of peace;

And the centre the red star of blood.


Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
