Lyrics (English Version)
I have explored a lot
I’ve seen Many Breath-taking places
But your Love controlled me and took over my heart
I did not find a solution for it
Your land is gold and jewels
War didn’t stop me from chasing my dreams
We always fight so we can stay free
You don’t understand what I’m going through
If you respect me, I’ll show love to you
When time are tough, I still do my thing
Seeking my passion, that’s why I sing
Mark my words, our voice will be heard
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
{Your plains and mountains are paradise
Your water is fresh and pure} Back voice.
Running up the mountains, running for our lives
4 days hiding in a cave to survive
Had no water to drink and no food to eat
Hungry and thirsty we were feeling weak
We went through all of that and where’re still standing up
They can’t take us out coz where just too tough
We have come along way and we are still the same
Nothing you can do can make us change
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
They took our youth
Kidnapped our women
Killed our children
Erased our Religion
Noooooo
We have been living on this land for Thousands and thousands of years
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
I’m too good for you, just try to stop me
But all you can do is watch me
You can’t help me, all you can do it tell me
Don’t mess with me, I’m too deadly
Talk to me nicely or don’t talk at all
Don’t mess with me or I’ll make you feel small
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
{Your plains and mountains are paradise
Your water is fresh and pure} Back voice.
When you have a problem, a pain in your head
Knock on my door, I’ll be your med
Respect, love it’s unconditional.
Our family is proud to be traditional
It’s been a long journey, but we know who we are
ISIS couldn’t stop us, Yezidi will always last
Mark my words, our voice will be heard
Freedom, Freedom, I am a free person
In 2014 we fled our homes
Back in the days, we made our own balls
I could juggle when I was so small
We love our culture, we love our soccer
My dream is to make it to the top yeah
Hanging out with the boys kicking back
Trying to make that money and make it stack
Just trying to win and all of that
Came a long way and I ain’t going back
I’m a defender, you’re a pretender
Scoring goals like kicking benders
Prepare to win by any means
Coming first on the ladder
What you do doesn’t matter
Can’t match my style, my teams going to win the final
Can’t do anything about it, you think you win, I doubt it
It’s time in Iraq
Dem dema Iraqê ye (Kurdish Kurmanji )
Get involved!
