Ser mujer.

Pocas personas pueden explicar mejor mi admiración hacia las mujeres que la Cherry en esta canción. Siempre menospreciadas, torturadas y ninguneadas. Y sin ellas nada sería posible.
Siempre he pensado que las que han iniciado las revoluciones más importantes de la historia han sido las mujeres.

Y lo que les queda por revolucionar. (fotos de Marc Riboud y Eugene Smith, respectivamente).

WOMAN
You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child
I'd rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.
I've born and I've bread.
I've cleaned and I've fed.
And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch.
I've crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
I've died so many times
I'm only just coming to life.
My blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.
