Liberated woman

She has a subscription to Marie Claire
She only reads Brétécher strips from the Nouvel Obs
She gave up pretending to read Le Monde for a long time now
She bought Paris Match in secret, that's a lot more fun
 
(chorus)
Don't let her down, she's so fragile
To be a liberated woman1, that's not so easy, you know (x2)
 
In her bed, a macho is falling asleep.
He won't love her beyond dawn.
But she doesn't care, she's having fun anyway,
and purrs tons of "I love you" in his ear.
 
(chorus)
 
She's worried about her first wrinkle
The reflection of her mirror is weighing on her life
She sucks in her stomach each time she goes out.
Even in Elle they say you have to try hard.
 
(chorus)
 
She smokes a lot, she's very opinionated
She likes to brag about being able to change a tire
She tells her age, and the age of her children
and even enjoys a little joint once in a while
 
(chorus)
 
  • 1. That really doesn't mean much. Just another behavioural prescription from the 80's

>"Etre une femme libérée, tu sais, c'est pas si facile"
If the original is correct, shouldn't it be translated:
"To be a liberated woman is not so easy, you know"
?

I like the song.
To me it sounds funny ...

I agree to this social critics but cannot see the relation to the song.

Moi aussi et je ne partage l'opinion de petit élève  ;(

>"Et lui ronronne ..."
With my very limited knowledge of French,
I would have guessed it means:
"And he purrs ..."
?
