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
Despite tradition

Her passion drove her wild

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...

Her love was suicide
In a time and place
Where a woman can't show her face
Her life is ruled by men
That shouldn't happen again. -
