Lyrics & music: Sakina
Sema was the name of a freedom fighter in northern Kurdistan who had Arabic-Türkish roots. She died in 2003 as a result of a self-immolation. The song is inspired by her last lines, which she wrote in her farewell letter. She justified her actions with the desire to be a bridge between the Kurdish and Turkish people on the path to peace. Her last wish was to return to the homeland she longed for, carried to her grave on the shoulders of the women of her country. But even after her death, Sema was still in exile. Buried in Sweden, her remains are still waiting to be returned to her homeland.
