No Woman, No Cry [English translation]

All your beautiful big brothers

Have gotten fine jobs

You were told, marriage would be more prudent

And you just nodded compliantly.

A fine husband you got yourself

At least your father said so

You took the beatings silently

You cried secretly in the bathroom

[chorus:]

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry, ohoo-o-o

No woman, no cry

Don't cry, but scream

There was always something

There was always something between you and you

Sometimes it was just the broom

Or your husband's beer

You gave him seven children

Then he just left without a word

Just don't think it's a great loss

Sometimes you even think you'll go crazy

[chorus]

Believe me, you don't need a psychiatrist

You just need to realize who you are

They cheated you out of yourself

And it is of no use if you burn

Let me tell you, you are not alone

There are a hundred women like you

And a thousand more that I cry for

Scream from now on, it's nothing to be embrassed about

[chorus]

Don't cry, but scream!
