K'Naan - Fire In Freetown Lyrics
There is no way to write it... there is no way to fight it
And I kick and scream but you got me despite it
And I got my pride so I begin to hide it
Like fire in Freetown you begin to light it...
Aha aha aha
Sidii hogasha roobka
Ah ah aha you shine down upon me
Aha aha aha Sidii hogasha roobka aha aha aha you shine down upon me
By some higher order you keep getting bolder...
By god or by country you kill like a soldier...
By some riddle you sung little but scream mighty stronger
Like fire in free town you old magic spoiler...
You place pins in my ribs and ask me to lie down
My pain is your pleasure but pleasure is all mine
You lend me your false ear and I lend you my false lines
Like fire in free town I'm fueled by your gold mine
[Chorus]
There's no way to right (or write) it, there's no way to fight it
But I kick and scream and but you got me despite it
And I got my pride so I begin to fight it
Like fire in Freetown you begin to light it
(Fire, fire)
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
(Fire, fire)
She always come find me she know where I roam
(Fire, fire)
She know where to touch me to turn me to stone
(Fire, fire)
She come like a storm and she rain on my lawn
(Fire, fire)
She know where to touch me to turn me to stone
(Fire, fire)
She always come find me she know where I roam
(Fire, fire)
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home

K'Naan Fire In Freetown Comments
Damn I love Somali music the lost treasure.
This is the original classic Somali song (1961) by the legendary Somali singer , Fatima Abdillahi known as ' Maandeeq'.
K'NAAN only copied the original Somali words ' Sidii Hogasha Roobka' and the style .The original name of the song is ' Sidii Hogasha Roobka'. Indeed awesome.
Somali classic songs fluorished since late 1940's.

Ahh. So. Beautiful is not just a word. (Of course this is just a single song. But I think I like it so what can I say?) anyway.

Freetown is a place in the country of Somalia.A group of rebels started a war and burnt down buildings and killed people,as stated in this song.It’s a grim reminder of how big a small war can be. :(
There is no place in Somalia called Freetown. Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone.
It's 2018, peace and love from Kenya.
Takes me away 💙
K'naan can put me in a trance
You are always amazing!!!
Listening 12-31-2017-2018- forever great music transcends time.
That saxophone or trumpet part is amazing. It inspires me to learn an instrument.
What I play when I want music.
Hogasha Roobka Means the rainfall
Nin ragi haduu dawlad waayo, isla markaana uu rejo waayo iyo meel uu hiigsanayo wuxuu ka liita duqsiga, waayo meeshu ku istaaga waa laga eryayaa, ma garanyo umadii soomalida la odhan jiray waxa kaga dhacay nasiibkii.
These words touched me in ways i can't explain. I have been asking myself the exact same questions for so long, and I haven't arrived at an answer.
