Watch the Woman's Hands
Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land,
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees.
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child,
As she holds him, as she holds him.
Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back,
From the danger, from the danger.
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Watch the woman's hands, as she talks to the man,
As he talks down to her, as he tells her.
He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hands
Clenched tightly, angrily.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Observe as Mãos da Mulher
Observe as mãos da mulher enquanto ela cultiva a terra,
Enquanto planta a semente, enquanto está de joelhos.
Observe os dedos dela sorrindo enquanto ela segura a criança,
Enquanto a segura, enquanto a segura.
Observe as mãos da mulher enquanto ela protege os filhos,
Do perigo, do perigo.
Veja como lutam para manter a família unida
Juntas, juntas.
Oh, precisamos dela, oh, precisamos dela.
Oh, precisamos dela, oh, precisamos dela.
Observe as mãos da mulher, enquanto ela conversa com o homem,
Enquanto ele a menospreza, enquanto ele diz a ela.
Ele não entende, ele não vê as mãos cerradas
Apertadas com força, com raiva.
Oh, precisamos dela, oh, precisamos dela.
Oh, precisamos dela, oh, precisamos dela.
