Paroles de guerrière
Galope ma peuplanes sur les chevaux de la colère
Paroles de fer
Paroles de guerières
Mon empire tisser sur un cavenas de tonerre
Agone, agone, agone
Agone, agone, agone
Par la nayade Harmonie
Agone, agone, agone

Agone, agone, agone
Son étroite tribu :S
Agone, agone, agone
Il était sans justice
Agone, agone, agone
L'autre sans pudeur
Agone, agone, agone
Et la dernière sans peur
Agone, agone, agone
Elle était sans peur

Le feu de ton ventre ma donnera un fille.

Paroles de guerrières
The lyrics to DobaCaracol's song Amazone speak of the power and strength of women, specifically comparing them to warriors and fighters. The use of the term "amazone" is a reference to the female warriors of Greek mythology. The opening lines, "Paroles d'amazones, Paroles de guerrière" translate to "Words of Amazons, Words of warriors." The song describes the Amazonian tribe as being strong, with their empire woven from thunder and lightning.
The chorus's repetition of the word "agone" is also significant. Agone is an ancient Greek word that refers to a "combat area," "contest," or "struggle." This word choice further emphasizes the battle-like nature of the song's lyrics. The lines "Tu goutera a mes délice avant que la flèche ne siffle, Tu baissera la tête avant que la flèche ne blesse" translates to "You will taste my delight before the arrow whistles, You will lower your head before the arrow hurts." This line suggests that the Amazonians are fierce and will not hesitate to attack their opponents.
The overall message of the song is one of empowerment for women. The lyrics speak to women's strength, independence, and ability to overcome obstacles. The song celebrates the fierceness and determination of women and the power they hold within themselves.
