Cabindaise woman, you are a woman
C
orageous citizen of the world
A
ncreased in your ancestral land, this forgotten kingdom
badly treated by those who dispossessed it through lack of humanity
B
she herself with eyes shining with a thousand tears
I
ndomptable amazon of peace
N
oire and proud to be so, even when you are of mixed blood because of your history
of your country, of people who loved each other or of a woman who was abused
D
charitable soul towards the most afflicted
A
me in love with life lived in freedom
I
a daring caress that burns its wings
only to spread them better
S
erviable, never servile
E
ntire, fearless, you do not advocate hatred,
you only want to break the chains!
Cabindaise you were, you are and tomorrow you will be again.
An African woman, an ebony queen, who dances every day
To the frantic rhythms of her thirst for justice, peace and love!
