At night, there’s a scream
It can be heard far away
In the south it is said
That is the voice of silence.
In this closet there’s an enclosed cat,*
Because a woman,
Because a woman,
Fought for her rights
The voice of a thunderbolt can be heard from the mountain
It is the truth; clear as lightning
In this blessed life where nobody forgives anything
But a woman does, but a woman does
She fights for her dignity
Ay! Swarthy
Little swarthy of mine
I won’t forget you
I give myself the respect I deserve because I am a woman
I can’t believe everything that happens to me
So you, falsehood, and “cholos”** look at me
If I love him, or if I don’t, ultimately it is up to me to love
From your skin to my skin, give me a beef taco
I prefer them, and hence, I love he who feeds me
I tasted already the one that belongs to someone else, that’s the bread I don’t want
May the heavens send me the first one
Who loves me the way I am, that one I do love
That one I do love
That one I do not
I followed your steps, girl,
Till we arrived at the mountain
And I followed God’s trail
The one that the souls walk
At night, there’s a scream
It can be heard far away
In the south it is said
That is the voice of silence.
In this closet there’s an enclosed cat,
Because a woman,
Because a woman,
Fought for her rights
The voice of a thunderbolt can be heard from the mountain
It is the truth; clear as lightning
In this blessed life where nobody forgives anything
But a woman does, but a woman does
She fights for her dignity
Beautiful mother (pray for her)
Loving mother (pray for her)
Merciful mother (pray for her)***
