الكلمات العربية لأغنية "من حقي"

هبقى جزء من الحقيقة مش بس من السراب
لسا فاكرة التبريقة والغيمة والضباب
هقول حاجات كتير قالولى شبه مستحيلة
من حقى اجرى الصبح بدرى من غير تعليقات فصيلة
فيها ايه لو اركب عجلة وميتقالش دى بت هبلة
طب ليه علشان البس فستان يبقى لازم مناسبة
مش هموت لحد ما افهم مفهوم الحرية
حريتى واجب عليك قبل ما تبقى حق ليا
يا ابويا ولا اخويا ولا جوزى احترمنى
فكر واسأل نفسك مرة ايه تعريف العيشة المرة
ترد تقولى احنا شرق مش عايشين بره
الخصوصية برده حقى ولازم تحترم
انا مش ملكية عامة بتزيدوا عليها الالم
سيبونى اعيش حياتى و بوشى الحقيقى
مش من وانا لسا صغيرة بتخططوا فطريقى
انا جسمى بس ملكى مش من حقك تشويه
ده انا لسا حقوقى كتير ...فليسقط السفيه !
الخطوة الاولى بتقول من حقى انى اختار
وانا ليك عليا اتحمل مسؤلية القرار
من حقى اكمل تعليمى لحد ما اكتفى
من حقى ابان للعالم مش عايزة اختفى
من حقى اختار شريك مش شريك لعيلتى
يمشى معايا الطريق ويكملى مسيرتى
من حقى اخويا يحترمنى ميهاجمش
مش بره يقول حرية وعندى يجى يقولى هيش
مش هموت لحد ما افهم مفهوم الحرية
حريتى واجب عليك قبل ما تبقى حق ليا

English Translation of "It's My Right"

I will be a part of reality, not only part of the mirage.
I’m still thinking of the the gasp, the cloud, and the fog.
I will say many things that they told me that are almost impossible.
I have the right to go running early in the morning without silly comments.
What will happen if I ride a bike without it being said: “This stupid girl!”
Why, when I wear a dress, does it need to be a special occasion?
I won't die until I know the definition of freedom.
Even before it’s my right, my freedom is your duty.
To father, my brother, or my husband: Respect me!
Just ask yourself once: what is the definition of the bitter life?
You’ll respond by telling me that we’re Middle Easterners, not foreigners.
My privacy is my right and you must respect it.
I am not a public possession. You hurt me more by believing this.
Let me live my life with my true face.
You’ve been planning out the path of my life since I was a little girl.
My body is mine alone and it isn't yours to disfigure.
I still have a lot of rights, so down with the scumbag!
The first step, you say, is that I have the right to choose
and that I will carry the responsibility for my decision.
I have the right to complete my education until I’m fully satisfied.
I have the right to show myself to the world. I don't want to disappear.
I have the right to choose my own partner and not my family's choice
to share the road with me and to help me complete my journey.
I have the right to have my brother respect me and not attack me.
Don’t tell me, “Freedom’s in other countries” or tell me to hush.
I won't die until I know the definition of freedom.
Even before it’s my right, my freedom is your duty.
