Because I am a girl

Lyrics: Because I am a Girl



[Suzanna]

Nyako Reiny Sulwe

Msichana shujaa



Les filles lutter pour vos droits (girl child stand up for your rights)



[Yvonne]

Girl is so special

Girl is the pride of the world



Mwanasikana akakosha



[Yvonne]

How long must I suffer

And how long must they take my pride

Invest in me

Invest in the future

Give me a chance

To be a child



هيا يا بنت دافعي عن حقوقك Hya ya bint dafaei an higogik



[Chorus]

Msichana shujaa

(Forca menina Forca)

Shujaa msichana



هيا يا بنت دافعي عن حقوقكHya ya bint dafaei an higogik



[Oliver]

Oh how can you treat a girl child like this?

How can you man be so cruel

She doesn't have to be afraid

She doesn't have to be scared anymore



Mwanasikana iwe shinga

Shinga mwanasikana

(Forca menina Forca)

Mwanasikana iwe shinga

Shinga mwanasikana



Shingirira mwanasikana



Don't put me down, because I am a girl

I need to be me, because I am a girl

I need protection, because I am a girl



(Forca menina Forca)

Don't put me down, because I am a girl

I need to be me, because I am a girl

I need protection, because I am a girl

Don't ignore my rights, because I am a girl



No, No, No, No-No



هيا يا بنت دافعي عن حقوقكHya ya bint dafaei an higogik



Msichana shujaa

Shujaa msichana



Mwanasikani iwe shinga

Shinga mwanasikana



Shingirira mwanasikana



[Suzanna]

Maybe if you respect me

Yeah, I'll never fear being alone

Nipe uhuru wangu

Nipe nafasi yangu ehh

Nipe masomo

Napia yeshima yangu

Mimi ni msichana



Msichana shujaa

Forca mernina forca

Shujaa msichana



Mwanasikana iwe shinga

Shinga mwanasikana



Forca mernina forca



Mwanasikana iwe shinga

Forca mernina forca

Shinga mwanasikana



Haiya ya bint dafo ah han honike



Don't put me down, because I am a girl

I need to be me, because I am a girl

I need protection, because I am a girl



Don't put me down, because I am a girl

I need to be me, because I am a girl

I need protection, because I am a girl

Don't ignore my rights, because I am a girl



No, No, No No-No



Les filles lutter pour vos droits (girl child stand up for your rights)



No, No, No No-No



Msichana shujaa

Forca mernina Forca

Shujaa msichana



Forca mernina forca
