Translation of the song RABE artist Mustafa Rêzan

Kurdish (Kurmanji)

RABE

English translation

GET UP

Rabe ji erda sar

Get up from this cold soil

Û bigire pêlîstokên xwe wekî her demê

And take your toys, like always

Bi rev, were qada lîstinê delalo

Run to the playground, honey

Heval tev, li benda te ne

Your friends are waiting for you

Şêxo, Narîn û Nergis, û Lalo

Şêxo, Narîn and Nergis, and Lalo

Li benda lîskê ne

They are waiting to play

Nîne cîran ku bera we de

There is no neighbor to chase after you

Û we biqewirîne ji nav şadiyê

And make you fly from happiness

Nîne gur û kuçikên manço

There is no Manço wolfs and dogs

Ku we êvaran bitirsîne

That scare you in evenings

Li ser bîna xwe sekinîne

They are motionless

Rabe ji erda sar nazenîna min

Get up from this cold soil, my beautiful one

Tuyê serma bixwî û dilê dê bisûzîne

You will get cold and you will burn your mother's heart

Rabe û çîrokên efsûnî bidawî nehêle

Get up and don't end these magic tales

Bila mîna çivîkên malan

Don't let your voice be missing from the walls

Dengê te ji qulên dîwaran nebilê

Like little sparrows

Ey li mal û kolanan xweşxwendan

You, the most beautiful voice in the house and the street

Deng û sedayê efsûnî ya jiyanê

The magical voice of life

Rabe û rahêje tûrikê xwe ya biçûk

Get up and get your little bag

Dizanim ne cejn e

I know it's not a feast

Lê şekira dilê min ditewire

But my heart wants

Û ber hev ke, mal bi mal bigere

Knock door to door, go house to house

Bi wan gavên biçûk û destên biçûk çavê min

With those little hands and feet, my eye

Rabe biçûkê min ji erda sar û çavên xwe negire

Get up my little one, from that cold soil and don't close your eyes

Binêre! Ezman çiksayî ye

Look! How clear the sky

Û stêrk bangewaziya te dikin

And the stars are calling you

Rabe û stêrka min tene nehêle.

Don't go, stay, and don't leave my star alone
