Woman, I see sadness in your eyes.
Woman, I see your face marked by the suffering of the years.
Woman, I see your distant look, your memories take you far away, they count your steps.
Woman, I see sadness in your eyes.
If you look back at your past
may it be to remember what you have overcome,
may it be to push you strongly forward,
let it be to remember where you came from,
but don't let it determine where you are going.
Woman, I see sadness in your eyes.
Let the tears come out, don't repress them,
let them cleanse your soul,
they lighten your heart of so much burden.
Woman, I see sadness in your eyes.
Courage woman, cheer up, go ahead,
may faith be your banner,
may love be the energy that moves you,
may hope eclipse sadness
and may it no longer rain in your eyes.
