Awake, my sister,
Come with us.
Listen to what I say -
Tolerate no injustice!
Who's the first to rise at dawn?
Who fetches the water
And sweeps the floor
And lights the stove
And looks after the children
And cooks the food?
Awake, my sister,
Come with us.
Listen to what I say -
Tolerate no injustice!
Now this woman who wakes
Will not be afraid of men,
Will not fear governments,
Will fight every injustice!
United with those who toil,
She'll transform society,
Holding in her hand
The banner of liberation!
Awake, my sister.
Tolerate no injustice!
