"Midab Gumaysi Diida" - Somali Pan-African Song [Lyrics + Translation]

The 1970s were a golden age for Somali music, but have since sadly been forgotten. This song is a remnant of that time, written in 1971 by Mahamud Abdullahi Sangub, just after the adoption of the new government. Abidi Baalwan serves as the leading voice, while the rest is sung by the Waabari Choir of Mogadishu.
The song is an uplifting tone, calling upon all Africans to reject any form of colonialism, and be proud of their race and culture. The title, "Midab gumaysi diida", means "Reject the color of imperialism".
The song was played at the opening ceremony of many summits of the Organisation of African Unity, which was succeeded by the African Union in 2002.
Some other info:
The man in the fourth image is Siad Barre, who lead Somalia from the founding of the Democratic Republic in 1969, until 1991.
This song was very difficult to find lyrics for and translate, so I apologize if any of the translations are worded strangely!

Couldn't have agreed with you more, we are strong independent fair people. We have far too much self respect to tolerate or accept legacy of colonialism. Hence why they had to create division and support the break up of our country. Every country has and had issues, we are mo exception but what the Brits, Italian including Amhara/TPLF did was systematic way to ensure we never mature ad a young nation. It would mean we become one of the most influential nation in Africa. Even many so called Muslim/Arab countries opposed us such as Libya and golf countries (to this day even). But do not despair, insha Allah we will return but we have to bear our internal demons called qabyaalad first. The moment most Somalis seeing their own through the prism of qabiil and where he is from instead of "he/she is my kin, a Somali" is when we will all prevail insha Allah.

This song "Midab Gumeysi Diida - Reject the Color of Imperialism" was recorded in 1974. It was when the African Union Summit was held in Mogadishu, Somalia. It is talking to the leaders and people of Africa and it says: if you think that the colony has left you, he is with you, changing the name to "Imprialisam"! Somalia played a major role in independence many African countries from European colonialism, especially during the year it held the presidency of the African Union.

Make plan to go back to Somalia insha Allah. Just like you since I left as a very young kid, I haven't been back. Until I went back recently and it has truly made me fall back in love with my people, restore a sense of belonging but more importantly understand the devastating impact and legacy the clannish civil war caused. We have a long way to go, many injustices to correct but I will never forget one day when I read on a wall "dalkasta dadkiisa dhisa". Living in the West and foreign countries, will allow some of us to live luxurious lifestyle and prosper. But who will take personal responsibility and willing to invest personally in rebuilding of his country? Just like previous generations did, we all have civic duties. Like you said, many have the necessary education and experience to benefit Somalia. Just need to go back and do it. I understand security is still a risk, but life is always a risk.

I am from somalia. This song was sung while we were awake, unfortunately we are listening while we are asleep, we can't help Africa today & other Africa can't really help Somalia, some are still colonizing our land. such as Ethiopia and Kenya. The reason why Somalia was destroyed is that it helped the African countries that were being colonized. Today, when I am recovering, the enemy of my country is africa, because off you have my arms and legs as to satisfy western. On your peacekeeper only stay somalia to get a salary and get budjet western. So please and please stop crocodile tears!
