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.
