English Translation:

Hey, WOMANHOOD!
Hey, WOMANHOOD!

We’re calling on women from around the world
Womanhood cannot be dismissed just like that
We’re calling on women from Africa
Womanhood cannot be dismissed just like that
Are we talking about women who care for children?
Women who respect their husbands?
Women who are in a marriage?
The ones who respect their wedding vows?

Chorus
Iye iye, rise up, iye iye iye
African woman
Iye iye, rise up, iye iye iye
African woman

The queen is out, the queen is out
The queen is out, the queen is out
Kneel before the queen
Wele iye wele iye

Life loves joy, let’s be happy
Joy, joy, let’s be happy

Let’s enjoy, let’s be joyful
Enjoy life, let’s have fun
Enjoy life

Mom yes, it's ours, the world
Dad, yes, Mom, yes, that’s it
It’s the woman who will save the woman
It's the woman who will help the woman
It’s the woman who will welcome the woman
It’s the woman who will take care of the woman
It’s the woman who will save the woman
It’s the woman who will help the woman, oh yes

Chorus
