Mujeres [English translation]

A woman must be pretty

A woman must be silent

You look at it, you touch it

And she doesn't say anything.

I suddenly felt something

It arrived through my back

It shook me, loud voices

So angry

Handkerchief in hand to name

Every missing woman

Every lonely dead woman

For whom we did nothing

Fists high, this does not go on

We will not shut up, we are here, present.

We make your old ways crumble.

Women are rebelling

Men don't know what to do

All the arrows in movement

The rules are made up again

Women are rebelling

Men don't know what to do

All the arrows in movement

The rules are made up again

Being a father is not that hard

Being a brother

Being my man

It's time for you to start listening to us

Don't try to tell this story

My present and my past

With this voice

I will narrate it today

Handkerchief in hand to name

Every missing woman

Every lonely absent woman

For whom we did nothing

The dead women will not come

Listen to me closely, they will never come back

We will carve their names in your statue now

Women are rebelling

Men don't know what to do

All the arrows in movement

The rules are made up again

Women are rebelling

Men don't know what to do

All the arrows in movement

The rules are made up again

This goes for my grandmother

This goes for my mother

This goes for my sister

This goes for my daughter

This goes for my shadow

This goes for Rosario

This goes for Elena

This goes for my dead women

This goes for the dreams

That went away

This goes for life

For making them

For the ones that are coming

For the ones that were

This goes for telling it

All again
