 (Translation from Kurdish to English):

Soraya 

A prepared & proper size stone (echo)

a proper/ prepared size stone

Not too small where there isn’t enough pain

And not so large where the blow is final

One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones

One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones

Your life is hanging on someone’s suspicion (echo)

I could feel the blow of each stone

Coming over my skull

One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones

Based on restriction

Based on restriction

It is based on "Hudud "(one of four categories of punishment in Islamic Penal Law)

(Omeed’s part)

buried up to my neck in the ground

I can feel them stones them stones them pounding down

first rock, then 100 more

crushed, beaten, bruised to my core

stones of the right shape and size

like the solidified tears in my eyes

modern day crucifixion

tell me to listen

to propaganda and fiction

divine mission

death wishin

feelin repercussions of the strength of my convictions

 

Soraya

In a land where speaking of being in love is Haram
affection and desire

have steep punishments (x2)

Based on restriction

Based on restriction

It is based on "Hudud "(one of four categories of punishment in Islamic Penal Law)

Omeed

buried up to my neck in the ground

I can feel them stones them stones them pounding down

first rock, then 100 more

crushed, beaten, bruised to my core

stones of the right shape and size

like the solidified tears in my eyes

modern day crucifixion

tell me to listen

to propaganda and fiction

divine mission

death wishin

feelin repercussions of the strength of my convictions

 

Soraya

In the land where you and I were born

Being sent to be stoned is easy

Assisted by the laws

Your life is hanging on someone’s suspicion

Depends on suspicion, Depends on suspicion.
