I am sentenced to die,
Die by the hands of my brother.

I have been told I have shamed our family,
That I have brought dishonor upon myself,
Now I must die to restore that honor

I am sentenced to die,
Die by the hands of my father.

I know what will come,
Taken to the center of our village,
It will be there that I will be stoned.

I am sentenced to die,
Die by the hands of my husband.

It is he who I have dishonored the greatest,
Rape is considered sex with another,
Therefore he has been shamed by me.

I am sentenced to die,
Die by the hands of my family.

I don’t want to die,
But I have dishonored my family
So I must.
