lyrics
Verse 1
Daaran Miaan Az Oon Door
They are coming from afar
Baa Choob o Chomaagh o Tizer
With their batons and tasers
Bargh e Rangesh Roo Shisheh
ُTheir reflection on windows
Delhoreh Mipiche Too Sineh
Horror spreads in the heart
Khoonemoon Ro Kardin Too Shisheh
You made us suffer to death
Sedamoon Khafe Too Sineh
You muted our voice in our chests
Vali Mireseh Oon Rooz
But the day will come
Ke Saretoon Bere Zire Tisheh
When your heads fall under ax
Chorus
Ma ma marg Be To To
“Dawn with you, you”
[x4]
Verse 2
Cheshet Oon Rooz o Nabineh
May your eyes not see the day
Ke Dorat Konan Ba Mileh
When you’re cornered by their lead pipes
Tasvir e Ye Soorat e Maat
An opaque image of a face
Naghsh-Mibandeh roo shisheh
Appears on the window
Raah Nadarah Nemishe
There is no way out
In Khoona Dige Paak Nemisheh
All this blood can’t be cleansed
Mijangim Taa Rahaayee
We’ll fight until freedom
Shoaare Hame Zanhaa Mishe
The chant of all women will be
Chorus
Ma ma marg be to to to
“Dawn with you, you, you”
[x4]
Verse 3
MiKoni Daad o Faryad
We scream and cry
Hame Ba Ham Hastim ta Hamishe
We are united, forever
Dasta Gereh Messe Baad
Our hands pull together like the wind
Mikanimet ze Rishe
We will pull out your roots
Migim Baa Sedaaye Baaz
We will say in loud voice
Mizanim Zireh Avaaz
We begin to sing
Zan Zendagi Azadi
“Women life Freedom
Shoare Hame Mardaa Misheh
The chant of all men will be”
Chorus
Ma ma marg be to to to
“Dawn with you, you, you”
[x4]
