A WOMAN’S BATTLE CRY

It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder
Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry
Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry

Do not anger, do not forego your destiny
Even if they dismiss you as no one,
And your beautiful seven colors have been washed away,
Still your light persists, hidden by the darkness of this moment

Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry
Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry

Don’t close your eyes to our destiny and the destiny of our country
The cruel forces will sell out our home
Don't leave it abandoned, abandoned
The falcon that has flown to freedom

Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry
Oh, your sigh is more burning than the sigh of time
Your struggle is beautiful in a woman’s battle cry

You are a beacon of light in my heart
The light that is hidden in the darkness of this moment
If you want to banish the grieving and darkness from our home
It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder

If you want to banish the grieving and darkness from our home
It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder
It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder
It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder
It’s time for you and I to stand shoulder to shoulder

I solidaritet med alla kvinnor i Afghanistan och andra delar av världen.
