Poem: I Have a Song

Girl pride — By Raul Guerra

Girl pride

By Raul Guerra

I have a song I love to sing
Since I am born a girl
Of the freedom of womanhood
Since I am born a girl
Bring me the flute
So I can blow the whistles
Of the old tune away
The old tune that sings
Subjugation of women

I have a song I love to sing
Since I am born a girl
Of the freedom of womanhood
Since I am born a girl
Bring me the violin
So I can play a classy song
To soothe every woman
For our liberation is near
A triumphant shout for our
Freedom I sing
