What does coombiyah mean?

Short answer:Meaning : Come by here.Direct translation: Come by you.More information towards answer:This is a word that "can" be spelled in many different ways.combayah, kombaya, coombayah, combiyah, kum ba yah, cumbayah, kumbayah etc.The origin of the word is most likely from a mix of African and English.A so called "Pidgin" or "Creole" which is a combination of languages.If we take one of the words and analyze it, lets start with yours: coombiya.Lets break it up a bit. It naturally actually forms three words. Coom Bi YaFurther thinking about it, it actually make sense: Come By You.The grammar as of such is not the best if we think about the song text "Oh my lord kumbaya".Further analyzing:Come By You---could be: Come Here You. (The song text get better but still lack something).Come By Here. Wow. this must be it.One thing we need to know when actually dealing with a "different" language is that not everything can be directly translated. A direct translation can have a different meaning, although mostly pretty close.References below on related links.
