Para todas las mujeres que pelearon en la historia de todos los países, Por todas nosotras ahora y las que vendrán. Chapeau! Chapeau! Bravo, bravo! Gritemos Hurra! Es dentro nuestro que se hacen los Reyes, En nuestros vientres florecen los Presidentes, Nosotras balanceamos la democracia, Y pelearemos hasta el final. Pelearemos hasta el final, Para que haya justicia, Para llevar cambio a todos los países Para traer una sonrisa a la vida. Por siglos han sufrido, tapándose la nariz para tomar agua sucia, Pero un buen día se rebelaron Para poder cambiar la Humanidad. En Asia, en América, En Europa y también Africa, Codo a codo, se levantaron todas las mujeres, Mano a mano para traer un cambio. Chapeau! Chapeau! Chapeau a todas las mujeres! Hurra por las mujeres!

XVIII) and in the work of the Spanish Juan de Arañés (S. XVII). The subtle and everyday expressions of the indigenous people, together with those of the Africans, convey their deep desire for freedom. The Bozal Spanish language, as also the themes, texts and rhythm of the works, show the strong syncretism between the Spanish culture and that of the indigenous and African natives.
