For the Women

 


Du bist eine Frau


Tu sei una donna


Tue res una mujer


You are a woman


 


E perche sei una donna


Porque eres una mujer


Da bist eine Frau,


Because you are a woman,


You are weak


You are worthless


You are trash


 


Isn’t it funny how,


Le donne


Las mujeres


Einen Frauen


The women who birthed us


Sono niente,


Are nothing?


 


The misogynistic society forces the questions:


Do you kiss your mothers with that slimy, sexist mouth of yours?


Don’t you understand that if women – our mothers – were weak


If our mothers were trash


If our mothers were nothing


Well, you’d be nothing, too?


 


It’s ironic.


Wir nicht lieben


Noi non amiamo


We do not love


The women who birthed us


The women who carries our burdens


For those tough nine months


Ed ogni momento,


And every moment after


 


Y por eso


E per questo


And for that,


Sono spiacente


Lo siento


On behalf of everyone,


I’m sorry.


 


Grazie tanto


Muchas gracias


Danke


Thank you


For all you do.
