Name

It appears to have actually had a name, on the Italian Wikipedia they call it "Inno della Somalia Italiana" which is "the Anthem of Italian Somaliland". After doing some more it does appear to be the actual name. I even found a copy of how to play it on a piano and they list it as such (see here: [1]). The hymn was also written in 1927 and was dedicated to Vecchi. I propose that we rename this article "Inno della Somalia" but not include "Italiana" as this was most likely droped follwing independence. AcidSnow (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Repubblica also provided me with the last stanza:

"Verde Somalia, Tu che profumi lungo le fresche rive dei fiumi oggi sul Giuba Italia porta la civiltà! Nunzia di bene l'acqua gioconda, scioglie le vene, Vergine terra, verde Somalia svela la tua beltà!".[2]

The site I mention earlier, Lorien, provides the full one:

Quando il monsone sfiora i bianchi velli delle graggi vaganti col pastor l’inno del vento canta il tricolore alto sulle dune, sulle boscaglie e il mar.

Quando la notte calma, dolce, chiara versa pace nostalgica nel cuor l’ombra degli astri cinge il tricolor che lento discende con l’anime a sognar.

Verde Somalia, Tu che profumi lungo le fresche rive dei fiumi oggi sul Giuba Italia porta la civiltà! Nunzia di bene l’acqua gioconda, scioglie le vene, Vergine terra, verde Somalia svela la tua beltà".[3] AcidSnow (talk) 05:20, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Was this anthem composed before Soomaaliyeey toosoo, AcidSnow? Middayexpress (talk) 17:53, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it seems like it was. I have never heard of this before though. AcidSnow (talk) 00:11, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There was apparently an instrumental anthem. I'm not sure if there were any accompanying lyrics, though. Middayexpress (talk) 15:58, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible take these lyrics could be for the original one. AcidSnow (talk) 01:31, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, possibly. Middayexpress (talk) 22:47, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
