Les Amazones D'afrique Amazones Power Lyrics

English translation:

I call on women to stand together
To fight against those who mutilate us

The world has change
Our mothers don't want to suffer anymore
Mama, marry the one you like
And finally be happy

I don't want to be afraid any more
We need to talk about this violence
Which prevents us from existing
Which prevents us from being free

I don't want to hear those words any more
Which are said behind my back
And criticize my choices
That want to stop me moving forward

[Chorus]
Never again, silence, violence
I want to live and to be free
We want to be free
No fear, no rage, no fear

I want to love without thinking
I don't want anyone to judge
Neither you, nor them
I want to live, be pretty, be free

I am here to denounce
Those women who mutilate other women
On behalf of a tradition
I'll call you out
This is not good

[Chorus]
Never again, silence, violence
I want to live and to be free
We want to be free
No fear, no rage, no fear

Mama, I don't want you to cry anymore
Women don't want to suffer anymore We just have to get together
Let's fight for our future
It's time to act

[Chorus]
Never again, silence, violence
I want to live and to be free
We want to be free
No fear, no rage, no fear

No, I will never be afraid of those women again
Those who shut us up
Those who hurt us deep in our body
At the stroke of of a blade

You are a woman
Mother, why mutilate your daughter?
On behalf of the tradition
This needs to stop

How many lives are lost
We must never forget
This needs to stop
I want to escape

You won't bury me alive
Wake up scared man!
Because times have changed

Our lives must be free
From domination of those men
Who use women to mutilate us

I don't want these hurtful words anymore
I want my freedom
I will fight for this
Whatever you think of me

My life belongs to me
No one can tell me what to do
I am a free woman

[Chorus]
Never again, silence, violence
I want to live and to be free
We want to be free
No fear, no rage, no fear
