This Woman's Work [The Sensual World]

 

                                Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh!

                                "You'll have to wait in here."

 

                Pray God you can cope.

                I'll stand outside

                This woman's work,

                This woman's world.

                Ooh, it's hard on the man.

                Now his part is over.

                Now starts the craft of the father.

 

                                I know you have a little life in you yet.

                                I know you have a lot of strength left.

                                I know you have a little life in you yet.

                                I know you have a lot of strength left.

 

                                               I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

                                               I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking:

                                               All the things I should have said, but I never said.

                                               All the things we should have done, but we never did.

                                               All the things I should have given, but I didn't.

                                               Oh, darling, make it go,

                                               Make it go away!

 

                Give me these moments back.

                Give them back to me.

                Give me that little kiss.

                Give me your hand.

 

                                (I know you have a little life in you yet.

                                I know you have a lot of strength left.

                                I know you have a little life in you yet.

                                I know you have a lot of strength left.)

 

                                               I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

                                               I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

                                               Of all the things I should have said, but I never said.

                                               All the things we should have done, but we never did.

                                               All the things that you needed from me.

                                               All the things that you wanted for me.

                                               All the things that I should have given, but I didn't.

                                               Oh, darling, make it go away.

                                               Just make it go away now.

Prie Dieu que tu puisses t'en sortir

je reste en dehors de ce travail de femme

ce monde de femme

oh, c'est dur pour le mâle

maintenant son rôle est fini,

maintenant commence la malédiction de l'homme

 

je sais que tu as une petite vie en toi

je sais que tu as encore de la vie,

je sais que tu as une petite vie en toi

je sais que tu as encore de la vie,

 

je devrais pleurer mais je ne veux pas que cela se voit,

je devrais espérer mais je ne peux pas m'empécher de penser

à toutes les choses que j'aurais du dire

et que je n'ais jamais dites

toutes les choses que j'aurais du faire

que nous n'avons jamais faite

toutes les choses que j'aurais du donner

mais je l'ais pas fait

oh, chérie, fais le

fais le sortir

 

rends moi ces moments

rend les moi

embrasse moi,

donnes moi ta main
