don't try to introduce my skin to your skin
cause such introduction doesn't let the light get in
don't try to prove me as your servant
while talking about the equality between women and men!
don't try to teach me the art of life now and then
cause my life is my life
I am not your plastic woman
I am a free and clever idea
traveling from south to north
I am a free and clever idea
seeking boldly for the truth
don't try to name me by your names
I am not one of your games
I am the eternity tale of Eve
who spent her life trying to think
trying to believe
and don't wrong me
this is my essential battle to be!
so, don't try to silence my voice
as a fake reason to get rid of the noise!
and don't wrong me
this is my essential battle to be!
I am a woman with high ambition
a poetic soul looking for full expression
so, don't try to introduce my skin to your skin
cause such introduction doesn't let the light get in
don't try to prove me as your servant
while starting a conversation about the equality between women and men!
