Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!
Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!
Singing in Zimbabwe!
Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!
Singing in Zimbabwe!
The women say we carry our heavy load
We must stand together, together we take our power
In Zimbabwe!
A war in 1983, a riot by the police,
When they went to round up prostitutes
And they jailed every single woman on the street
The women of the elite
And women of the trades
Housewifes, prostitutes, intellectuals black and white
And pride outraged
In Harare
Ah so they worked some magic in a jail
All women equally
And the women's action groups began
International women's conference planned
By woman in Harara
Those women in Zimbabwe
From Harare
They put out the call and so from the countryside
From the city streets
400 of women came in their native Shona tongue
They produced a play about their lives in Zimbabwe
Those women in Zimbabwe
Those women in Zimbabwe
Oh, can't you see them
Women in Zimbabwe
Together saying something, listen
The women say we carry our heavy load
We must stand together, together we take our power
In Zimbabwe!
Zimbabwe women shine
Like fine African gold
Your voice is a light away
To find the dark at the heart of a woman soo
Women in Zimbabwe
Women in Zimbabwe
And women all throughout Africa
And with women in Asia
Women in Europa and South, Central and North America
And women at the North Pole
Women at the South Pole
Women all throughout the Pacific
And women in Aotearoa
And women in Sydney
And women in Australia
And those women in Zimbabwe
