On the lands of Afrin

A new song written by the Internationalist Commune and Young Internationalist Women of Rojava. This song is dedicated to Şehîd Hêlîn and Şehîd Ronahî. The melody is inspired by "Heute hier morgen dort", the favorite song of Şehîd Andok Cotkar.

Songtext:

On the lands of Afrin

On the land of Afrin, went Ronahi and Helin,

Women of fire, to freedom they ran.
One from far away lands, the other knew it as home.
They both struggled to free Kurdistan.

Refrain:

You took up your tasks and held true to your aims,
to the struggle brought hope to your friends and comrades.
So we walk and we fight and we take up the might,
that you gave us with all of your dreams.

How to live? Where to start? - is what Reberti asks,

You answered with the way you lived.
No matter what was, in your path you kept on,
and gave strength with the warmth of your smile.

Refrain

You took up...

Both knew no borders or walls, both felt part of us all,

so could never stand by, looking on.
With a weapon in hand and revenge in their soul,
they went forward for revolution.

Refrain

You took up…

How we fight, how we fight, struggle hard, struggle right.

So we build up and defend our world.
You brought us this light, it burns in the night,
so that we can continue your way.

Refrain (x2)

You took up...
