KESKESOR (Rainbow)
If only love among humankind
Existed all the world over
What matters is not where one comes from
But only the love in one’s heart
Let men love men
Let women love women
Loving is the only thing that counts
For centuries in Kurdistan
In the Maghreb, India and Iran
No one batted an eye
Until the white man came
He came and said
This is how things stand…
You are coloured, I am white
This is a woman, that is a man
This one’s rich, that one’s poor
And so it shall be, all the world over
For whatever I say is the truth
Our people said
No way!
A lion is a lion
Neither masculine nor feminine
A heart is a heart
Neither masculine nor feminine
Yet later they too accepted it
And murdered trans* and homosexuals
It’s still happening today
Lovers are being murdered
It’s still happening today
Murder within the family
O, how my heart is aching
My sisters and brothers, murdered!
What’s with you people? Have you turned white?
What ever happened to the values of the heart?
Don’t do it, dear heart! Don’t do it!
You are oppressed, but don’t become an oppressor
Remember our cultures, our histories
Open your eyes – Just open your eyes!
We don’t have weapons in our hands
But a handful of flowers
The garden blooms in all colours
The rainbow is made up of us all
People can say what they like
My struggle is your struggle
Let’s come together and stand up
For love!
Acknowledge our rights!
Give us our rights!
If you do not, we shall wrest them from you
I am human just like you
May the world be filled with love!
