антипатриархальное кантри: It Takes Balls To Be A Woman
Стиль кантри принято ассоциировать с чем-то сельским, традиционалистским, патриархальным. Элизабет Кук выступает на разрыв шаблона. Не только в "It Takes Balls To Be A Woman" (кто предложит перевод?), где она чудо как хороша и по праву заслужила от критиков сравнения с Долли и Лоретой, упоминаемыми в песне (звезды кантри-сцены, известные своей поддержкой феминистического движения - Долли Партон и Лорета Линн).
Elizabeth Cook - It Takes Balls To Be A Woman
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to a test, while wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you're quietly over-achieving
Yeah sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
She's a socialite, a decent housewife and she makes a mean lasagna
So when the mechanic, said 'Lady don't panic, but this one's gonna cost ya'
She said 'I know I don't need my engine rebuilt, now just check the oil and
change the belt,
Honey, I know you thought you saw me coming'
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to a test, while wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you're quietly over-achieving
Oh, sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
He says I should repent for the money I spent on shoes and bags and jewelry
Well 'To hell with that, my hard working ass ain't gonna sit before a jury'
Now isn't that a mighty small price to pay
For all the love I send your way
Honey when it comes down to the plumbin'
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
[Chorus]
Sometimes It takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to a test, while wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you're quietly over-achieving
Oh, sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Look at Dolly and Loretta, they still live it to the letter
Oh, sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Sometimes it takes balls to be, big big big big balls to be
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
