We (Somalis) are well recognized for our love for poetry, as you surely already know. And this poem is a typical example of how poetry are turned into songs. Hadraawi, a well-known figure among Somalis, is credited with writing this song. This song is about a woman who wants to convince a man she loves but is told she can't. Songs and poetry are so written to raise awareness of this situation and to encourage people to spend their time with those they love or admire rather than having their feelings rejected or ignored. I also want to point out that when you translate songs or poems from one language to another, the original meaning and sweetness are lost.
