Gulen Gulistane [English translation]

We are girls

Kurdish girls

Flowers on the boys' heads

Together we will rise for the revolt

Like the roses of the garden

Sweet sister, you are the rose of the house

Rise up on the streets and let them hear your voice

With your voice, wake up the world

Whatever they say to you, don't put your heart in sadness

Don't let anyone hurt you, keep your head up

Don't let the oppression onto your head, continue

It is not loving that one can see from what they give

It is a promise, it is not cursing nor beating

Sister, become free, free yourself from the tying

Rise up free, like the roses of the garden

My love, my love, walk towards this dream

The Kurdish girls of Kurdistan, rise up together

We are girls

Kurdish girls

Flowers on the boys' heads

Together we will rise for the revolt

Like the roses of the garden

I don't understand, why don't you understand

I will give my eyes for understanding, we will wake up the eyes of the world

Don't want to become or don't want to be, women are subjected

For control, come out of the scare

Where is the heart, tell me the road, what are we going to do*

Where is your mother and sister, put your heads up

It is embarrassing, with what eyes are we watching them

Girls are fathers, sisters are brothers, perhaps in order to become men

They want to see your eyes, I want to see the same

They love you, just like me, don't fall with your bodies

Do not halt, buy your rights, enough, be scared

Know, your brothers exist and they hold your hands

We are girls

Kurdish girls

Flowers on the boys' heads

Together we will rise for the revolt

Like the roses of the garden

With rightfulness I'm shy, for this oppressing move

* idea and feelings, do something special for these

Not for the eyes of the people, for the honor** of the heart

I am not an angel, I'm not one of you

And you are not soft, and to me your love made it easy

My sister, what happens, I'm here because of you

You know that I don't want to, because I am lenient

Thus far, my flaw is to look for forgiveness

We have to open our eyes

We have to free our girls, enlighten and make them independent

With rebellion, the roses of the garden will rise together

We are girls

Kurdish girls

Flowers on the boys' heads

Together we will rise for the revolt

Like the roses of the garden
