What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
你坐在那里看着我，你在想些什么？
读懂你的神情，你在同情我的压迫。
但我不需要你，屈尊来解放我。
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
我的头顶没有裸露，
你看不见我隐秘的肌肤
于是你自顾自地凝视
头顶着光环做论断
你以为我多么绝望
却是你不曾知晓。
这我戴着的这块头巾下
有我在意的感受。
CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
没看见吗，你？
我确是自由的人
这块头巾
我自豪地戴起
To preserve my dignity...
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see...
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
为了保护我的尊严
我的谦逊
我的正直
不要论断我
却要睁开眼看看我
为什么，你不就这么接纳我。她说
为什么我就不能只做我自己。她说
一次又一次
你大谈着民主
却从我身上窃取了自由
我所想要的就是被平等对待
你能不能收起你的口舌，让我自由。
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:
为了妳，我唱起这首歌
愿妳啊，我的姐妹，要愈加坚强
我从你那学到很多。
而妳又承受了那么多，
却又能饶恕他们的哂笑。
妳无惧地前行，
穿越那些侮辱的妄言
妳的愿望如此恳切
他们终会理解妳
但在妳离开前，
请转身大声说
But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free
没看见吗，你？
我确是自由的人
这块头巾，
我自豪地戴起，
为了保护我的尊严，
我的谦逊，
我的正直。
让我作自己，
她笑着说：
我才是自由的人。
