Antipatriarca Lyrics in English Ana Tijoux

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ana Tijoux / Antipatriarca

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Antipatriarca by Ana Tijoux from Spanish to English.

I can be your sister your daughter, Tamara Pamela or Valentina

I can be your great friend even your companion for life

I can be your great ally the one that advises and the one that backs you up

I can be any of them all, it depends on how you nickname me

But I'm not going to be the one that obeys because my body belongs to me

I decide about my time how I want and where I want

Independent I was born, independent I decided

I don't walk behind you, I walk at your side here

You're not going to humiliate me, you're not going to shout at me

You're not going to subdue me you're not going to hit me

You're not going to degrade me, you're not going to force me

You're not going to silence me you're not going to shut me up

Not submissive nor obedient

Strong insurgent woman

Independent and brave

Break the chains of what is indifferent

Not passive nor oppressed

Pretty woman that gives life

Emancipated in autonomy

Anti-patriarch and joy

To liberate

I can be head of household, employee or intellectual

I can be protagonist of our history and the one that agitates

The people the community, the one that awakens the neighborhood

The one that organizes the economy of her house of her family

Pretty woman stands up

And to break the chains of the skin

You're not going to humiliate me, you're not going to shout at me

You're not going to subdue me you're not going to hit me

You're not going to degrade me, you're not going to force me

You're not going to silence me you're not going to shut me up

Not submissive nor obedient

Strong insurgent woman

Independent and brave

Break the chains of what is indifferent

Not passive nor oppressed

Pretty woman that gives life

Emancipated in autonomy

Anti-patriarch and joy

To liberate

SONG MEANING

Antipatriarca bursts with a fearless, dance-floor energy that doubles as a feminist manifesto: Mexican artist Ana Tijoux flips the script on traditional gender roles, declaring in rapid-fire Spanish that a woman can be anything—sister, daughter, friend, leader, intellectual—while refusing to be humiliated, silenced, or controlled. With empowering refrains like “No sumisa ni obediente” and “Romper las cadenas”, she celebrates autonomy, community organizing, and economic agency, inviting every listener to stand tall, break the chains of indifference, and join a joyful revolution against patriarchy.
