Ode to Iranian woman
Ode to Iranian woman
Hey, Iranian woman! Crying at the sunrise and crying at the sunset.
Hey, Iranian woman! You, the rose of the Iranian nation!
Hey, Iranian woman! Walking streets and paths filled with thorns!
Hey, Iranian woman! Walking floors of your own house filled with thorns!
Hey, Iranian woman! Crying up into the sky! And yet no one hears you!
Hey, Iranian woman! You won't ever give up! You'll change this land!
Hey, Iranian woman! Your free Iran shows up on the horison! Forever yours!

Oh, Sakineh!
Oh, Sakineh! You are our light and we are your light!
As all the enlighted candles across the world!
As all the stars shining across the Universe!
Oh, Sakineh! You are our light and we are your light!
Despite you lying there in your prison's cell,
so dark, and cold, and cursed forever!
And thanks to us typing words of support for you
in Facebook, and our e-mails to be sent worldwide.
Oh, Sakineh! You are our light and we are your light!
You were born a simple woman, and you've become a godess,
guarding all those women in the regime's jails.
No one can dare to bring a hand upon you anymore
because the angels of spirit are around you
and we, the people from around the world!
Oh, Sakineh! You are our light and we are your light!
The present day is hard but the future must be bright
in your country since ancient Persia. Your Iran!
No! There can no longer darkness be the ruler!
And yes, there must be as many candles lighten up
as there are women in the whole of Iran
and around the world, like a statue of a woman!
A statue of a woman, like an echo, forever!
Oh, Sakineh! You are our light and we are your light!
