Newroz Festival by Peeramerd

(Translated) - By Dr Kamal Mirawdeli

Newroz is here ! Today’s New Year’s Day

Festival of Kurds that brings rapture and joy

For many years all our hopes were down-flung

Fresh rose of spring in the blood of our young

That colour red on the high Kurdish skylines

Is taking dawn tidings to far and near nations

It was Newroz imbued our hearts with such fire

And made our youth face death with desire

Sunlight flooding our high homeland mountains

Is the blood of our martyrs against the horizons

Never in the history of any other nation were

The breasts of young girls used to shield war

Don’t let us mourn the martyrs of homeland

Not dead. They live on in heart of the nation.
