Helen Reddy – I Am Woman

Das war dann mal … aber ist ja nicht weg. Der Text gleich nach dem Video. Keine Ahnung, ob der Song noch irgendwie zulässig ist. Immerhin Anfang der 1970er Jahre. Aber da steckte schon verdammt viel Frauenbewegung, Feminismus und in jedem Fall noch was verdammt neues und interessantes, jedenfalls damals, in meiner kleinen Welt, in einem kleinen Ort – Ohne Internet – aber mit Radio! Und viel Aktivität !! Und klar, da lungerten David Bowie, Marc Bolan und Freddy Mercury rum.

oder ist das so viel mehr …. ?

Helen Reddy Lyrics
„I Am Woman“

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend
‚Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever going to keep me down again

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
‚Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I’ll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‚Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe-to-toe
As I spread my loving arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
