Born a Woman

It makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Or if you're smart or dumb
A woman's place in this old world
Is under some man's thumb
And if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on
And treated like dirt
Ah if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
A woman's lot is to give and give
And go on giving
A woman's got to love and lose
And go on living
Well I was born a woman
I didn't have no say
And when my man finally comes home
He makes me glad it happened that way
Because to be his woman
No price is too great to pay
Yes I was born a woman
I'm glad it happened that way
Oh I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way

Nació una mujer

No importa si eres rico o pobre
O si eres inteligente o tonto
El lugar de una mujer en este viejo mundo
Está bajo el pulgar de un hombre
Y si naciste mujer
Naces para lastimarte
Naciste para ser pisado, mentido, engañado
Y tratada como suciedad
Ah, si naciste mujer
Naces para lastimarte
La suerte de una mujer es dar y dar
Y sigue dando
Una mujer tiene que amar y perder
Y seguir viviendo
Bueno, nací mujer
No tenía nada que decir
Y cuando mi hombre finalmente vuelva a casa
Me alegra que haya pasado así
Porque ser su mujer
No hay precio demasiado grande para pagar
Sí, nací mujer
Me alegro de que haya pasado así
Oh, nací una mujer. Me alegro de que sucediera de esa manera
