Parade of great women of history

Even though having to fight twice as much

For their recognition

I choose only a few women

From a vast list and at their moment.

I start with Nefertiti and Cleopatra

Two queens of Egypt

Joana d'Arc and Aljubarrota Bread Maker

Two legendary figures and myth.

Catherine de ’Medici and Elisabete I

Njinga Mbande whose history fascinates.

The eccentric Marie Antoniette

Who lost her head in the guillotine!

Queen Leonor and Diana

Two illustrious nobles.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Served the poorest.

Onna-Bugeisha the samurai women

Struggled to protect themselves.

The first professional tattoo artist

Maud Stevens Wagner.

Jewish writer Anne Frank

Reported a great atrocity.

Polish scientist Marie Curie

Nobel in the study of radioactivity.

Mexican painter Frida Kahlo

Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor

Oprah Winfrey and Malala Yousafzai

Nowadays they are figures of value.

Flor Bela Espanca and Amália Rodrigues

And many other individuals

I break up with women from Portugal

This parade of personalities.
