My wealth is the sky without clouds,

My mother's smile and my child's laugh.

I am a woman and I try to live without doubts,

I am a woman and I am strong enough.

 

Why should I care about hungry wolves?

About those who want to change the world?

I want to be with those who care about doves,

Who wants to see the world pearled,

 

My wealth is love that's true and strong,

The one who loves, and always waits.

I don't complain when I am wrong.

I ask God to protect my loved mates.

 

I am a woman and I have to care,

To save my loved ones and not to hate.

To think about those who are fair,

Who brings peace and shares your fate.

 

My wealth is sunrise and the dawn,

The shining stars and songs of birds,

I do not trust the one who kills a swan,

My love exists without words.

 

I'd love to care for all and protect my dears,

To give the whole world to those I love,

To erase from the heart all the fears,

Never know the fact that someone starved.

 

My wealth is kind words that do not hurt,

The words that heal the soul and the heart,

I am a woman and my speech is curt,

I give birth to a man and give life a new start.
