Текст песни In the Beginning Woman (From "Timbuktu") - Philharmonia Orchestra , Rosemary Ashe

It is here enscrolled that in Africa
From the Niger to the Nile
The Gods of old told that
Women had wit
And wisdom
As well as style
So whence this masculine nonsense
About Adam and his absent rib
Can it be
Conspiracy
Man's oldest, boldest, most fantastic fib

In the beginning, woman
And sometime thereafter, man
And then came the moment man looked at woman
And that's when begatting began
In the beginning, a virgin
And then, out of nowhere, a boy
At virgin's urgin', boy merged with virgin
And from that mergin'
Joy

Scrap
As a pap
Those other tales
Tales that males came first
They are the worst
Read, instead, Earth's Mother tales
Men have been menaces
Ever since genesis
Just as it's chaptered and versed
Out of the primal chaos
Out of the swell and swirl
Rose a resplendent, virtue-invested, full but firm-breasted
Girl

Predating Adam
We had a Madam
Human
Land free for sinning
In the beginning, woman

Skip
That flipped, fictitious tale
Vicious tale
That's what my advice is
For a more propitious tale
Delicious tale
To have venus as stark as ice is
Always came through in crises
Back in the prime primeval
In the preglacial glade
Sprang up the creature
Fragile in feature
Mad and well-abled
Maid

Luscious the fruit, possessing acute acumen
Vinsome and winning
In the beginning, woman
Woman
Woman
Woman
