when the woman is behind a fence all women are outraged

Listen to my very sweet song
Verlaine would have known better
She is discreet and lightweight
a shudder of water on the foam
It is the lament of the spouse
the woman behind her fence
They make her life in the Middle Ages
May they be covered with shame..

Chorus
When the woman is fenced
all women are outraged

men have rejected women
In the dark
She never takes the floor
In public it is not his role
She is fearful she is subject
Not a chance for her to receive a kiss
They taught her to submit
Not to contradict his master
She is entitled to only a few whispers
With her eyes down on her sewing

CHORUS...

She respects the divine law
That said by the man's mouth
That his place is in the kitchen
And that she is his beast of burden
No way for her to get education
She's better when she's ignorant
Her husband says that education
Is contrary to her domestic tasks

CHORUS...

From head to toe burka its austere
Is the garantor of the woman decency
It prevents lust from the men
To whom she could appeal
One look deemed immodest
Would be fatal for the captive
She could eventually burned
Stoned in public place

CHORUS...

Young women set sail
Refuse these barbaric customs
Say no to Manichaeism
To the return to obscurantism
Get rid of this sad moucharabieh
Born of slavery customs
And instead of wearing the veil
Go away sail away
