Žena, r​ů​ž​e, p​í​se​ň​, revoluce

lyrics

/Žena, růže, píseň, revoluce/

Žena, růže, píseň, revoluce,
deklarace práv občanky a ženy.
Muž, pán, hrad, stroj, tradice,
nadvláda skupiny mužů beze změny.

Musím se ptát, jestli jsme udělali dost
ke změně.
Musím se ptát, jestli jsme dost slyšet,
když máme tu možnost.

Žena, růže, píseň, autonomie,
snahy rozhodovat o jejich těle.
Muž, pán, hrad, stroj, hegemonie,
zvláštní představa demokracie.

Násilí, homofobie,
strach z ženskosti, socializace.


Spoluúčast na tomto násilí,
potvrzení místa v hierarchii.
Moc tím lépe přijímáme,
čím víc, se na jejím vzniku podílíme.
K reflexi vládnoucího vztahu,
máme jen prostředky, v nichž je již obsažen.
Abychom tyto vztahy mohli rozbít,
musíme zrušit podmínky, které je vytvořily.

/Woman, rose, song, revolution/

Woman, rose, song, revolution,
The Declaration of the Rights of Woman
and of the Female Citizen.
Man, gentleman, castle, machine, tradition,
Masculine Domination unchanged.

I have to wonder if we have done enough
for things to change.
I have to wonder if we are loud enough
when we have the opportunity.

Woman, rose, song, autonomy,
efforts to decide about their body.
Man, gentleman, castle, machine, hegemony,
a strange idea of ​​democracy.

Violence, homophobia,
fear of femininity, socialization.

The complicity of the dominated in this violence
confirms their place in the social hierarchy.
We accept the power of dominant the better
the more we participate in its creation.
To reflect this power relationship,
we only have cognitive instruments
in which it is already contained.
In order to break these relationships,
we must abolish the conditions that created them.
