Femmes algériennes

Algerian women, my sisters in race,
Golden like clusters of grapes
In the rays of the rising sun -

Algerian women, my sisters in race,
With your masks finally unveiled
To the eyes fixed on the world -

Algerian women, chests to the wind
Making your bodies a shield
Against all forms of extremism -

Algerian women, let’s unite our struggles
Precious treasures of our differences
And in the indifference of men -

Algerian women, dare, walk,
Scatter your paths with stars,
Celestial bodies of children, dust of angels -

Algerian women, in our name
Women of color and of all nations
Let’s tie the scarf of PEACE.
