Thank you very much, Bryan, for checking all these translations.

my name's WOMEN

I like glittering things and pretty things
As much as before
But being cool and being tough
Have become more important lately

(*) You see? Times have changed so much
But why do I still hear such words as
"Tears are women's weapons"?

(**) We don't cry easily
We are not always coquettish
We are not dolls
Who are only dressed-up

(***) We have our weak sides
We are not always smiling
Don't forget
That we don't exist to be convenient for you

Though it's certain
I have a pain in my chest on some nights

It might be true
The more one experiences pain
The more he can be tender and strong

(****) Do you think you have controlled everything
With a knowing look?
We are not dolls
Who are only dreaming

(*****) Do you think you have cheated us well
With a satisfied look?
Do remember
That we are not such simple beings

(*) repeat
(**) repeat
(***) repeat
(****) repeat
(*****) repeat
