I admire you, woman of the fields
You, who cultivate the earth
You, who feed our children
You, who know the secrets of plants and heal sickness
I admire you, woman of the shadows
You, who fights for freedom
You, who battles for peace to change the world
You are the future, woman
Woman of Africa
Woman of the world
Woman of Europe
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
I admire you, ghetto woman
You, who becomes a loving mother to orphans who have lost everything
You, who are so sensitive and generous
Because of you, these young people can smile
You are love, you are forgiveness
You are hope, you are a star
You, who know how to speak fine words
You are the future, woman
Woman of Africa
Woman of the world
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Mama sa, eh
Mama sa, oh
Mama sa, eh
Mama sa, oh
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
