LOL Raage Ugaas was being bullied by Gabay-XoogI milgliori di questi bardi s' incontrano fra i Marehan e sull' altipiano dell' Ogaden dove ho potuto maggiormente spigolare.
E celebre la memoria di Roghé Ugaz dell'Ogaden che pare non fosse soltanto un buon poeta, ma anche un valoroso soldato, perché morì combattendo, circa dieci anni or sono.
Aden Achmed Dubba degli Isaak, tribu Habr-Junis, vive ancora, sebben vecchio , presso Meth ed e conosciuto sotto l'appellativo di Gabbaj hogg, cioe il " forte poeta". Nella sua gioventu i di canti suscitarono grandi invidie fra i Raghe Ugaz, e, non poche volte, sanguinose e irreconciliabili inimicizie.
Dallab, pure delle tribu d'Isaak, rappresentano due splendide aurore, poiche,giovani ancora, hanno gia' fama di cantori provetti. Ha lasciato pur fama di buon improvvisatore Mohamed Liban Giader. eche mori or sono tre anni nella pienezza del suo vigore
From Google Translations :
The best of these bards meet between the Marehan and on the 'plateau of' Ogaden where I could glean more.
It celebrated the memory of ROGHE Ugaz Ogaden that he apparently was not only a good poet, but also a brave soldier, he died fighting, about ten years ago.
Aden Achmed Dubba of the Isaak, Habr-Junis tribes, still lives, although so old, and at Meth and known under the name of Gabbaj hogg, that the "strong poet." In his youth the songs aroused great envy among Raghe Ugaz, and, not infrequently, bloody and irreconcilable enmity.
From even the tribes of Isaak, are two beautiful auroras, since, still young, have already 'fame singers alike. He left while the reputation of good improviser Mohamed Liban Giader. who died three years ago in its full force
