The national anthem of Djibouti was adopted upon independence from France in 1977. The words are by Aden Elmi and the melody by Abdi Robleh.
English transliteration of Somali
Hinjinne ur sara kaca
Calankaan harraad iyo
Haydaar u mudateen.
Hir cagaarku qariyayiyo
Habkay samadu tahayoo
Xiddig dhi igleh hoorshoo
Caddaan lagu hadheeyaay.
Maxaa haybad kugu yaal!
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 in the centre the red star of blood.
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight.
