English Version / Versione inglese: Rana Mansour
FORFOR WOMAN, LIFE, LIBERTY
For dancing in the streets (1)
For the fear when kissing (2)
For my sister, your sister, our sisters
For changing rotten brains (3)
For shame of money-lacking (4)
For yearing of just normal life
For garbadge boy and his dreams (5)
For this planned economics (6)
For this polluted air (7)
For Valiasr(8) and it's worn-out trees (9)
For Piruz and his possible extinction (10)
For dogs, innocent but banned (11)
For tears with no end
For this moment will never happen again (12)
For smiling faces
For students, for future
For this forced heaven (13)
For the national elite imprisoned
For Afghan children (14)
For all this "for"s with no repeat
For all this empty chants (15)
For houses, collapsing like card ones (16)
For the feel of peace
For the sun after long nights
For pills of nerves and insomnia
For men, homeland, development (17)
For girls wishing to be boys (18)
For women, life, freedom
For freedom
For freedom
For freedom
For dancing in the allies and the streets,
For the thrill and the fear of getting caught kissing
For my sister, my brother, and unity
For all the times we tried to change their minds and stale beliefs
For the loss of pride, and poverty
For the dream of just a normal life for you and me
For all the children who are starving for a loaf of bread
For the greed of politics and all the lies they spread
For all the mass-polluted air we breathe,
For all the litter in the streets and all the dying trees
For all the animals who suffer from elimination
For all the cats and dogs who love us without no conditions
For all the tears that seem to never end
For all the images that keep on turning in our heads
For a simple smile, for just a little while
For the future generations fighting for their time
For empty promises of heaven in the after-life
For all the imprisonment of beautiful minds
For all the babies who are born and for the ones who died
For all the times you told the truth, and all the times you lied
For all the speeches that we heard about a million times
For all the shacks and shelters that were sold to make a dime
For just a glimpse of a peaceful life,
For the rising of the sun after an endless night
For all the pills we pop just to get some sleep
For all mankind, for our country
For all the boys and girls who never knew equality
For woman, for life, liberty.

(13) Strict moral norms forcedly implemeting into society, officially leading the people to the heaven, actually causing situations like with Mahsa Amini
(14) Afghans in Iran have very few rights and low social status, their children have no right to school education and thus have to work
(15) While children in schools are forced to chant igeological slogans like "death to America", the children of rahbar itself live exactly in this America, and live very freely
(16) Because of poverty and corruption in the building supervision houses are very badly emgineered and build so it causes their collapse sometimes
(17) A chant-reply to "women, life, freedom" using to show it is not just a feminist protests but a protests of all the society against the dictatorship
(18) Because of inequality some things are forbidden for women, there are many manifestations of glass ceiling, so women are pity they're not men who have way more opportunities
