The Boss of the Boss*
There's a well-known saying
when it comes to matters of power,
they say that behind every great man
there is always a great woman.
I think this saying isn't quite right,
I'm going to correct it:
a woman should be at the side
if a man wants to grow...
It's not strange anymore to see women
controlling the markets,
today they're in charge of consortiums
in Dubai and all over the world.
Today they make deal directly
with the richest businessman,
the respect in their business
was well earned by them.
And it's not just the roaring
of the tigress that can be heard at home,
the tiger roars too
without overshadowing her greatness
and according to the math
13 comes right after 12,
my friend, a woman
will always be the boss of the boss.
To behold the glory
of the eyes of woman
— a cup of the best wine;
the lips of a woman,
that sublime creature has
the gift to bestow life
and that ennobles the soul.
For that and many other virtues,
my friend, a woman
will always be the boss of the boss.
Just because she's in control
doesn't mean she's not feminine,
she's still a housewife,
the one with the lovely smile,
the one that doesn't neglect her son,
the one who caresses her husband,
that divine creature
knows where she's treading...
And it's not just the roaring
of the tigress that can be heard at home,
the tiger roars too
without overshadowing her greatness
and according to the math
13 comes right after 12,
my friend, a woman
will always be the boss of the boss.
