The Lioness

La Leona

The Lioness

Decían que los tiempos eran difíciles para los hombres honestosThey said that times were hard for honest men
Pero a ella no le importaba porque no era una de ellosBut she didn't give a damn because she wasn't one of them
No quiero insinuar que alguna vez mintióI don't mean to imply that she ever told a lie
Pero fue criada en el harén y le dijeron que se mantuviera calladaBut she was raised in the harem and told to keep quiet

Ya no va a esconder su rostro másShe isn't gonna hide her face anymore
Ya no va a conocer su lugar másShe isn't gonna know her place anymore

Casada joven y apartadaMarried off young and set aside
Huda siempre brillaba intensamente, no era de las que se escondenHuda always burned bright, she wasn't one to hide
Se enseñó idiomas y poesíaShe taught herself languages and poetry
Se enseñó a hablar para poder liberarseShe taught herself to speak so she could set herself free
Miren sus obras, oh poderosos hombresLook on her works, ye mighty men
Abrió el harén, no pueden cerrarlo de nuevoShe opened up the harem, they can't close it up again
Se lanzó al vacío y se dejó caer libreShe stepped off a ledge and let herself fall free
Bajó del tren y entró en la historiaShe stepped off the train and into history

Ya no va a esconder su rostro másShe isn't gonna hide her face anymore
Ya no va a conocer su lugar másShe isn't gonna know her place anymore
Ya no va a esconder su rostro másShe isn't gonna hide her face anymore
Ya no va a conocer su lugar másShe isn't gonna know her place anymore

Huda Sha'arawi era el nombre de la LeonaHuda Sha'arawi was the Lioness' name
Un corazón saciado, ojos en llamasA heart well-fed, eyes aflame
Un rostro descubierto mostrando lo que superóA face uncovered showing what she overcame
Huda es la Leona, no será domadaHuda is the Lioness, she won't be tamed

Ya no va a esconder su rostro másShe isn't gonna hide her face anymore
Ya no va a conocer su lugar másShe isn't gonna know her place anymore
Ya no va a esconder su rostro másShe isn't gonna hide her face anymore
Ya no va a conocer su lugar másShe isn't gonna know her place anymore

No va a esconder su rostroShe isn't gonna hide her face
Todos deberían conocer su nombreEveryone should know her name
No va a conocer su lugarShe isn't gonna know her place
La Leona no será domadaThe Lioness will not be tamed
No va a esconder su rostroShe isn't gonna hide her face
Todos deberían conocer su nombreEveryone should know her name
No va a conocer su lugarShe isn't gonna know her place
La Leona no será domadaThe Lioness will not be tamed
