Your eyes light up to be equal to brilliant,
but your mouth somehow remains resilient.
Is there a reason, Woman, for your silence?
Are you maybe a victim of a form of brutal violence?
How did you ever get caught up in this situation?
Will you ever rise up and move to another station?
If you want to remain, that is your choice, you life,
but do you want to stay entangled in this struggle and strife?
You can make a difference and turn your back.
Don’t hesitate, don’t ponder and don’t be slack!
Get out of there, run so fast, Woman, from this man.
Get away, get away, do it now, I know you can!
Think, Woman, think of yourself and your children.
Do you really want to be vested in such fiery cauldron?
The time is ripe to get away from it all somehow!
The time is here, time doesn’t wait, the time is now!
