Marianne (feat. Golshifteh Farahani)
You ain't afraid of gods
Nor death, nor men
You've seen with your own eyes
All those you love fall
You don't believe in powers
That oppress and kill
Your name is sung with hope
You carry peace in your chest
Freedom comes at a cost
But your children carry the flame
Its light beyond the seas
Shines in your name Marianne
Marianne (ma', ma', ma')
Marianne (ma', ma')
Marianne, Marianne (where are you?)
Marianne (ma', ma', ma')
Marianne (ma', ma')
Marianne Marianne
You spit on politicians
Who build our world on fear
How long will hate and fanatics
Kill your brothers and sisters
Oh, no you will never have
Her heart, her values, her roots
Marianne
Your ancestors gave their lives
So that your voice guides our future
Freedom comes at a cost
It tastes like blood and tears
Everywhere, we die with honor
And no one, no one is called Marianne
For this compulsory paradise
For the imprisoned elite
For Afghan children
For all this, for the non-repetitive
For all these empty slogans
For the homeless shelters
For the feeling of peace
For the sun after long nights
For women, life, freedom
For women, life, freedom
Marianne, Marianne (ma', ma')
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne (ma', ma')
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
