The baby Chinese girl
discarded from the world
I am she
and she is me
The wife with ravaged face
where acid left its trace
I am she
and she is me
The girl who had to wed
and share an old man's bed
I am she
and she is me
The one deflowered by knife
to live a "purer" life
I am she
and she is me
Come world sisters, unite
and keep your souls alight
like the sun
shining as one.

The wife with ravaged face

I am she

I am she

The one deflowered by knife
to live a "purer" life
I am she
and she is me
Come world sisters, unite
and keep your souls alight
like the sun
shining as one.
