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

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...

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. -
