On crutches vertue halts vertue halts haltes vertue haltes, Whilest men most great in faultes, suffers best worth distrest, with empty pride opprest Alas poore men.

(Chorus Translation) The women of Souli have not learned Only to live, They know how to die And never be slaves. On land the fish dies; In sand, the flower. And without freedom The women of Souli die. Verse: You will rise up You have given Your heart, your love, your life We will rise, we will rise up.
