SONG OF FREEDOM
We are from mountain and plateau
Working the machines, studying at school
Our fight will go on
Until the tyrants drown
The ignited flame will not die
Nor our song of freedom end,
Our fists held high in defiance
Will never come down
Before the tyrants are overthrown.
Come join us sisters young and old
Our cries increase aloud
To ensure Allah's Word prevails
And infidelity fails.
Never will the burning flame die out,
Or our song of freedom end.
Our defiant fists will not
Fall before the tyrants are overthrown.
Gulan Intisaar Saatcioglu
