Les Amazones D'afrique Love Lyrics

[An English Translation Of the Original Bambara ]

Today is not a day of celebration
We take this seriously
We women are engaged
To fight against mutilation

We want respect
We deserve respect

This amusement does not mask the violence
Today is not a day of celebration The education of the child is part of a woman's duty
Maintaining a marriage is part of a woman's duty
But mutilation disrespects
The woman deserves respect
This amusement won't stop us from defending our cause
