Hive Open Mic SEMANA 146 / Sororidad / Cover @jetta.amaya (Español/Inglés)

A loving greeting to all my Hive friends, for week number 146 of the beautiful Open Mic stage I bring you a wonderful song called "Sororidad". It was composed by the Spanish group "De espaldas al patriarcado" between the years 2009 and 2011 the time they were active as a band. All the lyrics of their songs are wonderful, they are full of a powerful energy of empowered women, and that without a doubt each and every one of us is capable of feeling and offering.

I have said it on many other occasions, my partner @aly.squid and I share a musical space called "Mujeriegas" that little corner of lyrics and chords has saved our lives in all those moments where we have felt we can't take it anymore. As a collective what we do is to bring women together in a community space to sing, tell and share. This is one of the songs that has accompanied us during the 8 years we have been in this adventure.

Its relationship with this week's theme is evident, Sorority is a word that was built from feminism to refer to the union and solidarity among us women. That is the union that I want to express in my post this week. In the world an alarming number of women suffer physical, psychological, patrimonial, economic, emotional and vicarious violence, among others. Of all these forms of violence many become femicides.

We know that many things have to change so that we can finally say that women and girls in the world have lives free of male violence. But to achieve these changes it is imperative that we unite and begin to see each other as sisters, that we rid ourselves of the perverse teachings of patriarchy that have made us see each other as enemies, as adversaries.

A sisterly embrace to all the women artists and cultures that make up this beautiful community, who every week publish their talent, work and effort and illuminate our way. I dedicate this song to all of you, because together we are infinite.

Lyrics

When I remember you I remember the beginning of the end.
Sharing our steps as we walk, listening to our fear and insecurity.
Reality that only by assuming served as a foundation to build.

Slowly I manage to take out the judge of good and evil.
Not to look only outside and feel that sometimes the enemy is inside me.
A thousand women, different oppression, are weaving the struggle from the heart.

I want to learn to lower my speech to my reality.
To connect with myself and to shout that even though it is a struggle, it is not only a struggle (because it is more!). That it is affection and complicity; that our weapon is laughter and sisterhood.
