Baba said I don't want you wearing that headscarf I don't think you understand But Baba I find it pretty and aunt Fatemeh wears it every day And if she was alive today I know that she would say Take it off, throw it in the flames And watch it burn like everything they took away From us The freedom to love The freedom to wear whatever we like Forced to hide, oh Killing and beating Did they think we wouldn't fight? Jina Amini killed for a piece of fabric on her head Isn't it mad? How dare you decide over living and dead Hear them shout in the streets "Zan, Zendegi, Azadi!" If she was alive today I think that she would say Take it off, throw it in the flames And watch it burn like everything they took away From us The freedom to love The freedom to wear whatever we like Forced to hide, oh Killing and beating Did they think we wouldn't fight?
