The woman who looks
Words: Hermínia Mas
Words to I’am the woman: Mirna
Music: Xavi Múrcia
Translation: Araceli Molina
She’s the woman who remains silent but keeps on looking:
She looks at her children come and then leave home
She looks at her neighbours making love on the sofa.
She remains silent when her husband is late
With a lie in his pocket.
She’s the woman hiding behind the curtains
Who looks at her life go by.
She picks up life’s little pieces, she gives them to everybody
But she doesn’t dare to keep any for herself.
Book:El vent de les andanes
I’m the woman who’s thirsty of life,
Who’s not happy with just looking and remaining silent,
I’m the woman who goes out onto the street,
Who screams, who runs, who speaks up,
Who laughs, who loves and who doesn’t hide.
Life for her is becoming so short…
