MALALA, PAKISTANI GIRL

LYRICS

Malala, Malala, Pakistani girl;
her stand against the Taliban was seen around the world.
Malala, Malala, spoke out for her rights;
“School is for everyone,
mother, daughter, father, son.”
She faced the barrel of a gun!
Malala.

Far away, in Northern Pakistan,
deep in a valley, lived a gentle man.
He taught his children to study while they can
but girls were forbidden by the Taliban.

Malala, Malala, Pakistani girl;
her stand against the Taliban was seen around the world.
Malala, Malala, spoke out for her rights;
“School is for everyone,
mother, daughter, father, son.”
She faced the barrel of a gun!
Malala.

(Pashtun language)
Yawa mashoom (one child)
yawa shuwoonke (one teacher)
yawa ketab (one book)
yawa kalam (one pen)
au nale (and the world)
bad la wa-le-shi (can change)
