Weltgeist - Miss Natasha Enquist

Lyrics:

騎著快車  飄遠方 /Riding on a fast car, lost in a far away place
回望昨日的落莫 / looking back to the desolate of yesterday
懷念母親的笑窩 / I missed my mother's sweet smile
繼續上路   直到日落 / As I continued forward on this road until the sunset

日月星輝的亮光 / Under the sun, the moon and the shinning stars
照各地的夢也是一樣 / same are the dreams on every land that are shone
與你能高歌的那個地方 / A place where you and I can sing at the top of our voice
便是我心中的烏托邦 / is the utopia that reigns in my heart

Under the sun and the shining stars, 
same are the dreams on every land that are shone.
At gun point, where there is no where else to go
but to pursue and manifest the dream that you always have.
You, the lowest of the low rise up in the dark,
hanging by the flesh and the beating of your heart.
Seeing through this lens in your head,
utopia has a colour,
and the colour is love.

For Rojava

For Rojava_烏托邦

“A country can’t be free unless the women are free"

www.ctm-festival.de/festival2016/20…ressure_rojava

Women and men are equals in the kurdes democracy. Not like we think it is equal in Europe. The roots of this society are not based on the patriarcal system we live in, but a complete equality. An utopia which is in danger.

That’s why I support Rojava

We are calling for participation and submission of works. The work must be related and critically deal with the topic of #Rojava; otherwise there are no restrictions. Everybody is welcome!

The final publication is planned for International Women’s Day on 8 March 2016.

There are over 7000 women fighters on the border of Northern Syria. These women are collectively known as the YPJ or the Women's Protection Unit, an all-women unit. They are fighting on the front line against IS / Daesh. To build a new society in Rojava, they are forced to defend themselves. Until recently I was unaware of their existence.

Twist Her
you want to twist her
into what u had in mind
you want to twist her
but she won't bend for u anymore

couldn't shut her up if you tried
no one wants to question
the deepest reaches of society
it's too ingrained
people just want to survive
these days

they say hide yourself away
don't rock the boat

she doesn't follow
patriarchal prescriptions
she should be
burned at the stake
put in her place

you want to twist her
you want to twist her
put her in her place
we taste we twist
go our separate ways
we taste we twist
go our separate ways

Twist Her

Will I Be A Figure Eight

Aynur & Morgenland Chamber Orchestra - Delale AnadoluHouseRmx Ipek Ipekcioglu

Delale - My Beauty (english translation) (kurdish below) 
Hey, your father's sheep herd is speckled my beauty
Rest your herd behind our house, come my beauty

Hey, alert me before you move the herd
A wound remains with me, don't leave my beauty.

Hey my beauty, rugged are these mountains they will not give passage
This world is a dark and cruel place, stay my beauty

Hey, this world is like a blink of an eye
All that remains is pain and death, don't leave my beauty

The tents are striped, they are striped my beauty
It is time for me, your admirer to feed his lambs, come my beauty

Hey, surely the lamb has come down to get fed
A wound remains with me, don't leave my beauty

Translation by Ali Yalçın

Delalê - kurmanci
Hay pezê bavê te belek e hay lê lê delalê delalê we xalê
Hay le paş xanî(yê) me mexel ke were delalê delal

Hay le rakir(i)nê mi(n) xewer ke delalê delalê we xalê
Ay sîse gwîzey min mabî mere were delalê delal

Hayê çiya pêrew e delav e ya lê lê delalê delalê hevalê
Ay dune terr e zuxl e nav e were delalê delal

Revşe dunê bireyê çav e ya lê lê delalê delalê we xalê
Ay jane mergêy min mabî mere were delalê delal

Ma'lûm dawê karek daket ya lê lê delalê delalê we xalê
Ay sîse gwîzêy min mabî mere were delalê delal
