Equality Anthem by Iranian Women

This song is called sorood-e Barabari (سرود برابری) or equality Anthem. You can find it on both Spotify and SoundCloud. Different parts of it came to life and was put together along the years (2005 to 2011) by different feminist poets and musicians. With the recent women revolution in Iran the anthem was revisited and sang. The video on the song is a mix of footages from Iranian women inside and outside of Iran.

Lyrics:

«جوانه می‌زنم

به رویِ زخمِ بر تنم

فقط به حکم بودنم

که من زنم، زنم، زنم

I will bloom from the wound on my body

[The wound that is there] because of who I am,

because I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

چو هم‌ صدا شویم و

پابه‌پایِ هم رویم و

دست به دستِ هم دهیم و

از ستم رها شویم

If we raise our voices together,

if we walk together,

if we take each other's hands,

we will get rid of oppression

جهانِ دیگری

بسازیم از برابری

به هم‌دلی و خواهری

جهانِ شاد و بهتری

We will build another world with equality

A happy and better world

out of empathy and sisterhood

نه سنگ و سارها

نه پایِ چوبِ دارها

نه گریه‌هایِ بارها

نه ننگ و خوارها

No stoning, no gallows,

no repeating cries and tears,

no shame and disgrace

جهانِ دیگری

بسازیم از برابری

به هم‌دلی و خواهری

جهانِ شاد و بهتری

We will build another world of equality

A happy and better world

out of empathy and sisterhood»

How you laugh, how you march, how you rest, how you run, how you get caught in your dangerous hope. No one can wall this revolution.

And love is difficult, and love is divine. And if you must have God, let it be love. Let it be love with its toil and terror, let it be love with its prophecy and mess, let it be love with its rise and fall. This revolution

is now like our bodies, is eternal like dust. Is on balconies, is on screens, is in beds, is on streets, is in the mind, is in the mind, is in the mind, is in the breath and the eyeball, this revolution.

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

I GOT INSPIRED BY THIS AMAZING, WITTY, LEGS-KICKING FIC BY @paris-23 >o<

Please do check their work, fanfiction and art!!! The Narrator feels like the Narrator (in character, and very British)

(Edit: I've read more of their work and it's INSANE!!! ALL OF THEM. Oh dear.)

PS. I changed up the dialogue a bit due to the lack of space and context. Inspired by the scene, but not quite the same! That is precisely why you should read it. Come on, give it a try~

PSS. the 2nd panel is heavily referenced, does the TSP fandom recognise the show? tehe

Toomaj is an Iranian rapper whose songs targets the heart of the regime. He knew his life would end in execution if the regime captured him but he still stayed in Iran, participated in protests, and made burning anti regime songs. He's currently on the death row.

Soorakh Moosh which means Mouse Hole is his most famous song. Mouse in Persian literature stands for cowardice and buying a mouse hole means finding a place to hide because you must be scared. This song targets the regime and their supporters and suggest them to buy a mouse hole because their time is up and they should be scared of people. The song was released last year. Iranians have been in a revolution state of mind for years now.

Here is a fanvid remix based on the song. The pictures represents people toomaj is addressing in his song. They're famous figures who are either regime supporters or centralists. Bellow I posted the English translation plus some notes. Enjoy.

Toomaj - Soorakh Moosh (English Translation) Lyrics from Genius

Verse 1

If you saw

Peoples’ pain but turned a blind eye

Oppression of the innocent and walked right past by

If you cheated out of fear or self-interest

You too are a partner in crime of the tyrant, you too are a criminal

If you pretended to fall asleep while they were shedding blood

Caught up with your business while they were taking young lives

If you played centrist or stood in the middle and said “politics, what’s that?”

Just know that we don’t have blank votes, there is no neutrality in this war

If you put your hands over your eyes, you have blood on your hands

You are a traitor if you have a platform and your words smell fishy

You are far from the homeland but our binoculars aren’t short ranged

Remember, the filth behind clouds eventually get exposed

If you covered up murders, you’re equally guilty

To cover up crimes, you’re walking through blood

Just know that without apologists this system is incomplete

Iran has so many prisons that you would all fit in

Chorus

Hack journalist, cheap informant, courtier artist, buy a mouse hole

Agent, apologist, order taker

Forced executioner buy a mouse hole

Safety valve, involuntarily appointed

Windy party reformist, buy a mouse hole

Exported, NIAC, betrayer, inciter

Give all your dollars to buy a mouse hole

Verse 2

An artist who does not know about income loss

I piss on your Oscar if you are not on the people’s side

I pull apart your yarn ball so you can’t weave bullshit anymore

Whether you are government’s Shahab or Asghar Farhadi

Whether you are a state actor or a Keffiyeh appropriator

Whether you are an exported actor or the Elahe Hicks type

You sell yourselves for money, status hungry

Alack the leeches - ration eaters you are not of the living

Deadbeat, Karoon isn’t going to be filled with bottled mineral water

Khoozestan doesn’t need crumbs, it owns the whole table

Freedom is expensive? Fine then, the free will give with their lives

Remember only blood washes away blood

Shoot me in the back, kill the thirsty

Take pride in the murder of peaceful protest

Outside the borders, paint the crimes

Take it from me - the good news of tomorrow and retribution

Take from me the good news of tomorrow and retribution

Chorus

Hack journalist, cheap informant, courtier artist, buy a mouse hole

Agent, apologist, order taker

Forced executioner buy a mouse hole

Safety valve, involuntarily appointed

Windy party reformist, buy a mouse hole

Export, NIAC, betrayer, inciter

Give all your dollars to buy a mouse hole

Outro

Don’t wait for a saviour, there is nothing on the horizon

You are the rescuer, you are the hero

If you and I unite...we are boundless

We are the saviours of eternity, we are the Imām of Time [Imam al-Mahdi]

(A couple of notes about the lyrics:

Centrists are those who aren't on the regime's side but they're not on the people's side either. They're indifferent and only care about their own profit and comfort.

Khoozestan owns the whole table is a great way to address favoritism in the Islamic Republic. Khoozestan is a province in south of Iran that the majority of Iran's oil and gas are centered there. It's also one of the poorest states in Iran because of the regime's neglect. So they're rich with resources and poor at the same time because the regime doesn't care about them.

Imam of time is referred to the 12th Imam in our shia muslim beliefs. He was rescued and hidden by God so that he can come back again one day and save the world from corruption. Sort of like the Jesus Christ savior story.)

[dreadfuldevotee]

Lord, i used to pray for times like these

[windsofnotos]

hozier could get up on stage and say the words "capitalism is a flawed and violent system and we need to implement universal socialism" and people would still be like "haha silly little bog man 😂"

[mermaidinthecity]

In my dream, I hear the echoes of the recent battle, yeah. Lost and wounded, as the faded cries begin to settle for the night. But the words you use to hurt me now. Only seem to make me jump off somehow. Oh, a revolution is now. Na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na na na.
