Afar(four)- 'Mida kale'

Naa hee dhe ii dhigeyso,
We may be distantly 'related'
lakiinse hear this-we share no similarities in character
We'd crossover somewhere between opposite locations
like Khartoum and Bougainville
You would be sitting backwards on a ailing donkey
Albeit wishing my face would burn
Xaasidnimo foqol xaasidnimo

You're like those who would steal from the slums of coite d'avoire
Only to let it rot in their fridge
From the same ilk that would lure husbands from pregnant breaching sisters
Stab mothers with blunt knives only to steal loose tealeaves
Those who are suspicious when recieving Eid gifts from neighbours
You're cut from the same cloth as those who think before giving zakkah


Gacan baan ku taagay
Waxaad tahay baa,
ilahay baa og
