She went to bed, leaves table Eats well, she must act today Her nose stops bleeding, that's what they see But it's a fresh wound; before they will beat her she will beat them Her mom says "your life is like heaven" She's right, if you taste the forbidden you better know someone is watching Two hours before dinner, the phone hangs up Her mom is shocked "the flight is delayed" Phone rings Amal Murkus (Chorus) Tamer Nafar: Before she answers, she isn't even asked The story is like the logic in her life, all backwards Her hands up in the sky, begging for help Their hands up in the sky reciting the Fatiha (ceremony before marriage) The calendar page moves one day back, the time is Afternoon, the argument is over, her brother commands her Blood flows from her lips to her nose A sound of a fist, his hand jumps from her face It's the first time in her life that she says "NO!" Her mom announces happily "tomorrow you will marry your cousin" If I look through the album of her life I won't see a photo of her standing up for her rights It's hard, the pages are stuck to my hand Her past full of blood and tears But we promise you, from her murder to her birth Their expressions filled with anger as if someone announced a crime "Congratulations, it's a girl" The beginning.
