Days go by
And others join the cry of freedom
Even high school students are tired
Of being dictated to
They have arisen to demand their rights
The song of ‘baraye’ is being song everywhere
It has become an anthem of unity
For dancing in the street
For basic human rights
Because of being tired of covering their hair
For man, country, rebuilding
For woman, life and liberty
Because the status quo won’t do
Because of justice, long overdue
Because minorities have rights too
Because they’re tired of disunity
Because of the power of this song
Because of the strength of unity
The dawn is near and they know it
And the sun will shine eventually
