Mujeres

A woman should be pretty
A woman should be quiet
She looks and touches
And says nothing

Suddenly I felt something
It came from behind me
It shook me, loud voices
So angry

Handkerchief in hand to name
Every missing woman
Every lonely dead
For whom we did nothing

Fist up, this is enough
We won't be silent, we're here
We're already breaking your old ways

Women are rebelling
Men don't know what to do
All pieces in motion
The rules are being remade

Women are rebelling
Men don't know what to do
All the pieces in motion
The rules are being remade

Being a father isn't so harddon't try to tell this story
Being a brother my present and my past
Being my man
It's your turn to listen to us

Don't try telling this story
My present and my past
With this voice
Today I will narrate

Handkerchief in hand to name
Every missing woman
Each lonely absence
For whom we did nothing

The dead (women) won't return
Listen carefully, they'll never return
Their names we'll mark on your statue

Women are rebelling
Men don't know what to do
All pieces in motion
The rules are being remade

Women are rebelling
Men don't know what to do
All pieces in motion
The rules are being remade

For my grandmother
For my mother
For my sister
For my daughter

For my shadow
For rosario
For elena
For my dead women

For the dreams
That we lost
For the life
To make them

For the ones who are coming
For the ones who left
For telling it
All over again
