"We arise with strength! for we have raised our flag" - "Djibouti" (Somali: Jabuuti, Afar: Gabuuti,) is the national anthem of Djibouti.[1] Adopted upon independence from France in 1977, the lyrics, which are in Somali, were written by Aden Elmi, while the melody was composed by Abdi Robleh.

The melody is written in common 4/4 time. It consists of twenty measures.[3]
