A Tribute to Kurdish Girls In Kurdish Rap

Kurdish girls -- Sehît
--posted by Peshmerga1991 on YouTube


We are girls , girls of Kurds

the flower over the boys head
We stand up together and rise
like the roses of the Garden

My dear sister
you are the flower of the house
wake up from your silence
and raise your voice
with your beautiful voice
wake up the world
what ever I tell you
do not keep it in your heart
never mind it
do not let it anger you
raise your head high.

Do not let our injustice
stay over your head,
the ugliness of being treated differently
as if the ability
means being able to abuse you.
My sister be free ,
loosen up the ropes that tie you.
Be Free like the flowers of the garden
my love ,my love alone does not work in life.
Kurdish girls

We are girls , girls of Kurds
the flower over the boys head
We stand up together and rise
like the roses of the garden

I do not understand, how could you not understand !
how could I make you understand !
how could we wake up the world !
Don't you see, or don't you want to see that women are oppressed ?
They are afraid to get cut off by controlling hands
Tell me from heart ,what will we lose
if your mother and your sister raise their head?
Oh father , what a way we look at them !!
daughters of fathers ,
sisters of brothers ,
and some might be married
how do you want yours to be looked at?
look at mine too
they love you , but unlike me they can not say anything
do not stop, get your rights ,
stop being afraid
I know

We are girls , girls of Kurds
the flower over the boys head
We stand up together and rise
like the roses of the garden

I'm not an angel.
No I'm not like that.
Sister, whatever happens
I'm here for you
You know I do not want to upset you
what ever my short comings are,
I ask for forgiveness
we have to open our eyes
and not step on anyone
we have to speak up and raise the value of women
our girls must be free


Thanks for this beautiful song, and the translation too.

If anyone knows how the words could be better, please let me know.
