K'naan Somalia National Anthem Version at First Ave

K'naan sings a version of famous patriotic song from Somalia called Qolobaa calankeedu in 2010 at First Avenue in Minneapolis. He has a couple verses about immigration. At the end of the song K'naan says: "Minnesota, be proud of your diversity. We love you for it." The song is a national anthem of Somalia. The song was originally written by Abdullahi Qarshe in 1959.
Qolobaa calankeed,
waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa,
Cirkoo kale ee,
Oon caadna lahayn,
Ee caashaqaye.
Xidigyahay cadi,
Waad noo ciidamisee,
Carradaa kaligaa
adow curadee
cadceeda sidee
lo caan noqo ee
sidii culagii
ciidad marisee
Alloow haku celin
Alloow haku celin
Any nation’s flag, bears its own color
The sky (above us), does ours look like
Defects it has none; love it with candor
Oh you White Star, at your service we are
Superior you are, in any part of our land
Be famous oh Star, like the sun (of the far)
On the day you arose, our hearts you have
Purified with pureness, (Oh you our flag)
Lord may not dim you, pray we in this night
The detached part of, our forces of five
I beseech from God, their return you cause
This fate that wrote, for us to meet now
