Cause We Are Girls
Cause We Are Girls
I always miss my dear freedom
B'cause I know I can never have it
Cause I know I can never taste it
Cause I know I can never kiss it.
I always have to miss my dear freedom
Cause I am born as a girl
Cause I am born in India
Cause I belong to a culture
Where my dear freedom
Probably you don't love us,
Most probably you hate us.
Why my dear freedom,
What is our mistake?
Is it because we are girls?
Is it because we are brown?
Mother, whom I should blame?
Freedom or you?
On whom we should haff except you?
You are independent Mother,
You are the abode of democracy,
Then, Mother, can you tell me
Why we, your children are not free here?
We, girls, are, too your children, right?
Then why in your democracy
Our voice is suppressed?
Why in your abode we are not allowed
To roam anywhere we wanted?
Why mother? Why we are insulted
As the less intelligent?
Why we are not allowed to
Educate ourselves as much as they are?
Why we are not allowed to
Marry whom we want?
Why we are considered as the domestic help
Who has no world outside?
Why mother? Why we are treated as objects?
As if we're the subjects of your other children!
Why mother? why this discrimination?
Why this business?
Mother, I'm telling you
We shouldn't be taken for granted.
We also have a soul, a distinct entity
Which longs for freedom since birth.
We also have power mother,
We also have intelligence mother,
We don't deserve to be insulted.
Mother, I'm telling you
The day is not far when we girls
Will awake,
The day is not far when we girls
Will revolt.
The flame within us will be ignited
Very soon,
And will turn into the funeral pyre
Of your beloved patriarchy.
That day Mother,
No one will be able to extinguish it
Neither you nor us.
