Women too can dance
Women too can get the reeds
And pile them outside the kraal
At the women's reed dance
July comes and women wait
No reed dance for women this year
They wait and wait
No reed dance again
When will we dance together?
When will we meet?
To do the dances of our people
With feet that are in shackles.
We danced yesterday
We will dance tomorrow
We will dance forever
And yet still be in chains
This dance does not free us
This dance makes us shake
Our bodies are released
Only for a short time.
When will we dance
and be the women
We really want to be
Where we can be loved
The way we want?
