Daw Da Hiya

Back in ancient time
Loving was a crime
For a single girl
Like the beautiful
DAW DA HIYA

Sisters barred her way
But she couldn't wait
She spurned her father's hand
And took her man

DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA
Her passion drove her wild
DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA
Her love was suicide

Love comes with a price
They came for her one night
For her family's shame
She had to face
The judge's might

Now she was with child
No one was at her side
When the judge declared that she must die
- Tradition

yeah, yeah

Her passion drove her wild
DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA, DAW DA HIYA
Her love was suicide

Yeah

In a time and place
Where a woman can't show her face
Her life is ruled by man
That shouldn't happen again

DAW DA HIYA

Yeah
