Para todas las mujeres que pelearon en la historia de todos los países, Por todas nosotras ahora y las que vendrán. Chapeau! Chapeau! Bravo, bravo! Gritemos Hurra! Es dentro nuestro que se hacen los Reyes, En nuestros vientres florecen los Presidentes, Nosotras balanceamos la democracia, Y pelearemos hasta el final. Pelearemos hasta el final, Para que haya justicia, Para llevar cambio a todos los países Para traer una sonrisa a la vida. Por siglos han sufrido, tapándose la nariz para tomar agua sucia, Pero un buen día se rebelaron Para poder cambiar la Humanidad. En Asia, en América, En Europa y también Africa, Codo a codo, se levantaron todas las mujeres, Mano a mano para traer un cambio. Chapeau! Chapeau! Chapeau a todas las mujeres! Hurra por las mujeres!

XVIII) and in the work of the Spanish Juan de Arañés (S. XVII). The subtle and everyday expressions of the indigenous people, together with those of the Africans, convey their deep desire for freedom. The Bozal Spanish language, as also the themes, texts and rhythm of the works, show the strong syncretism between the Spanish culture and that of the indigenous and African natives.

Born in Munich in 1897, Ben-Haim had a very impressive career as a pianist, conductor and composer. He moved to Tel-Aviv in 1933, and soon became a leading figure in the musical life of Palestine and the State of Israel (from 1948). Ben-Haim regarded his work as part of a wide-spread effort to synthesize Eastern and Western traditions. read more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ben-Haim La rosa enflorese en el mez de May, Mi alma s'escurese sufriendo del amor. Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor, Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor. Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí, Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir. The roses bloom in the month of May, But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love. The nightingales sing and are sighing in love, The passion will kill me, multiply my pain. Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me, Come faster, my soul, because I shall die. ...    us().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
