Текст песни: Here's to the Women + перевод

History books give us historical facts

Of soldiers and sailors and men with their axes

But who filled their bellies, and who washed their clothes

Who raised up the children, who nurtured their souls?

Without all the women, now, where would we be?

Working and caring throughout history

Their hands on the plow but their stories untold

So here’s to the women who shouldered the load

The wilderness held them in the palm of her hand

It took more than muscle to settle this land

Women together set straight to the task

With schools and libraries, a city at last CHORUS

Some came here from Mexico, Norway, Japan

To raise the good crops in this faraway land

Some came here as picture brides, so little choice

Some came as slaves with no hope and no voice

And deep in the forests, and out on the plains

Some women were watching as new women came

And some longed for friendship and offered a hand

But politicians and soldiers soon bloodied the land CHORUS

Some women grew tired of having no say

So they listened to Abigail, Emma and May

For fifty long years they fought for the vote

So their daughters could enter the future with hope

In hard times and good times the women would share

Their songs and their stories, their loves and their fears

And their history’s recorded, the song never ends

In the memory of mothers and sisters and friends CHORUS
