| [00:21.94] |
They say that I was born |
| [00:24.27] |
Of slave mogama and white man |
| [00:27.43] |
My father slept in iron bed |
| [00:30.34] |
My mother on cold sand |
| [00:32.79] |
When my father called |
| [00:34.19] |
My mother would come |
| [00:35.63] |
Never said a word |
| [00:36.93] |
As if she were dumb |
| [00:38.84] |
A woman who will talk too much |
| [00:41.36] |
Is soon to lose her man |
| [00:49.38] |
They say God made man first |
| [00:51.78] |
And made a woman second choice |
| [00:54.95] |
And so that's why woman should |
| [00:57.51] |
Obey her master's voice |
| [01:00.19] |
When the man is hungry |
| [01:01.86] |
She bakes the bread |
| [01:03.22] |
When man is cold |
| [01:04.26] |
She warms up the bed |
| [01:06.01] |
Standing up or laying down |
| [01:08.69] |
The woman has to work |
| [01:16.68] |
They say poor man wakes early |
| [01:19.25] |
And he works until it's night |
| [01:21.98] |
The rich man wakes up late |
| [01:24.39] |
And tells the poor man what is right |
| [01:27.38] |
So the poor prays to shango up above |
| [01:30.93] |
So the rich will lose the money they love |
| [01:43.97] |
But rich or poor the woman has |
| [01:46.55] |
To work for both of them |
