A song by Soraya Fallah and Omeed Rafizadeh on Women Political prisoners in Iran

From: Azadi Album: Songs of Freedom for Iran by UFI

This song is part of a global collaboration of musicians honoring the courage and commitment of Iranians struggling for democracy and human rights. Songs inspired by a generation of new leaders

The song “Chemical tears“ is about women political prisoners in Iran, specifically minority women prisoners. This song focuses on one specific case in order to humanize the broader issue. This chronicles some part of Zainab Jalalian’s life who has been on death row since 2009. Currently we do not know her whereabouts or situation. The last time any news regarding her condition was revealed, she had been tortured and in terrible health. She has been invisible to the majority of the human rights community and we hope that this song can raise awareness about her.
This song is in two languages. The lyrics are in English and Kurdish (Sorani). The music is an original composition by Mr. Omeed Rafizadeh who also wrote the English part of the song. The Kurdish section is written and sung by Soraya Fallah.
Translation of the lyrics from Kurdish to English are by Cklara Moradian.

Lyrics:

Left her home for a day for a week for a year
landmines at her feet, chemicals in her tears
she suppress the fear, inhale toxins made by war profiteers
saw a man die laughin'
hahahaha
got poison in her blood that year
ran from bombed home slumpin' halfway gone
family on the floor
waitin for the sound
waitin for those missiles beating down
right beyond the door, right beyond the door now
gun-shot songs for child of war
when the state hunts your people
what’s your life for?

 English
when the state hunts your people
your life is fight or run
you name boys after devastation
you name girls after “unknown nation”
they the center, they the foundation
her life never saw no relief
she was in love with fantasies of peace
she was suffocatin' in bomb smoke, but she chose to breathe deep
For years her only friend was a road too steep, windin' through the mountains took her to the city
Tryin' to form a movement, got in too deep
walkin' among the wolves, syrup dripping from they teeth x2


they drooled at the sound of the girl they bit down on
little hunted runaway, they, told her to pray, they
told her that she speaks the wrong tongue anyway
drag her away
Now she sits in a cell all day
Forced to call every beast “sir”
but back at home
her family on the floor
they still wait for her

I left my home
Left it (echo)
I wanted a house, not made of clay
My house was destroyed
Half of it was demolished

3) English
Now in a cell torture and imprisonment
But in the city of beauty, waiting for you to come back
They told me you are friend of Shirin (Alamholi)
Learned from Farzad (Kamangar) 2
Your mother tongue is wrong
Your punishment will be hanging

Now in a cell, torture and imprisonment
But in the city of beauty, waiting for you to come back
At the age of 12
I went toward destiny, my fight was against ignorance
And the fact that there is no peace
Punishment for seeking freedom is being slandered, accused of “enmity against God”

Towards the horizon

Name of the song: Pray through a slit throat

Singer and lyrist: Omeed Rafizadeh
 In 88 I saw acid drip down a woman's face
In 88 They strung us up and watched us hang In 88 All our history was erased
And they opened up our skulls and they ate, and ate and ate and....
I defied god broke the holy law broke em all from the gallows I fall and you fall Our torture wounds split, we lost our wits, in this crowded prison cell there's no room to sit, In the interrogation room, to god we submit, But it's hard to say a prayer when our throats are slit Yes I admit I read the newspaper Sorry never meant to forsake our savior Tell me dear brother will I die now or will I die later? Will I die now or will I die later? For Kurdish and Farsi readers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMAmC0gErW0

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 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 (x2)
