SO    Welcome, friends, sayta hay Eska Waa ran:
to this vibrant land, where Somali heart, shakes an Aussie hand,
Together we unite a textile grand,
Cultures mix like pieces of sand. On Aboriginal land, we walk with care,
Respecting the roots – that first grew there,
As settlers, seekers, dreamers, guests,
We share, we build , we support the community when we can
From Somali shaah tea – to Aussie coffee brews, In every sip, our story combine news, Black tea leaves, eucalyptus types, Heritage shared, reflecting life’s.
Under Melbourne’s ever-changing skies, Four seasons-Arbaa Fossol/FOUR Season, clash collide nRise, In patience sabr, we find our ties,
In every moment, hope resides. We honor the past, yet seek for more, In this embrace, our spirits soar, In unity, we find our KATY PERRY core, we be looooong ooooo-oo

Grateful for each other, side by side as a community
