On strike for life, we are in rebellion!
Men, go home to look after children

Women, to the streets to be free!
SUNG, SORT OF:
Cinderella, don’t go to the ball; on March 8, come to the square!
Shhh shhh, calm down! Keep your masculinity under control!
Patriarchy is always gray; we are all colors!
Patriarchy will go, we will stay!
Leave the housework, let the world stop!
Leave that man, let the world stop!
Let the house go to shit!
There’s nothing to eat in the fridge, there’s rebellion in the streets!
We are women, not the family; we are in feminist rebellion!
Laundry gets dirty, dishes get dirty; let him not think you’re his slave: if he dirtied it, let him wash it!
The world would shake if women were free; we will shake the world!
To raise our voices for all women who claim their lives, stand in solidarity and hold one another’s hands, like the bride and sister-in-law who ran away to build a life far from male violence and oppression:
Black-eyed peas in the gardens / the bride and sister-in-law run away!
We abandon neither the nights nor the streets nor the squares
Let the father come, let the husband come, let the state come, let the baton come; rebellion in defiance, rebellion in defiance, freedom in defiance!
