Qîza Helepçe [English translation]

I went to life, but cried out

I went to life, but received death

as innocent as she was, they cut her head

the lady who came, that lady went from us

This genocide shatters hearts

This lament is not filled with screams

It will steal all the lives

the lady who came, she disappeared today

She laughs like a child

But her lips, her smile have been slain

kneeling on the knees, the heart filled with pain

the lady who came, the lady that went

young boy, I can tell you are done for*

The sight of the girl of Halabja

has shattered his heart

The lady that came, the way she went again

He looked deep into the distance

The girl that became like **

A symbol of resistance

The lady that came, you think she's gone?

The daughter of Halabja is always mirthful

Adorned with revolt and completeness

She has become the hope of us all

The lady that went, comes here again
