"aseel" poems
Gabila!
Tell me where you from
انتي من وين؟
I’ll tell you انا من وين
I’m from a Gabila joining tribes
Yours and mine!
Gabila!
You heard of Sudan?
That’s our tribe!
That’s our Gabila!
That...is our home.
Bahri Omdurman
Kosti or Sennar
سودان جمعتنا as one
As a Gabila we stand!
But Gabila, how come I never heard of you?
انتي رباطابية ولا زغاوية؟
انتي هدندوية ولا من الدينكا؟
Where do you come from?
Does it matter though? Because,
Either way, I think you’re a beauty!
Either way, I admire your presence!
Either way...you look like a kandaka.
Are you a kandaka?
You are a kandaka!
I see a kandaka!
كنداكة سودانية
كنداكة شجاعة
كنداكة قبائلي
I’m glad I met you Gabila!
