The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Mulheres Do Brasil" by Joyce.
Lyrics
No tempo em que a maçã foi inventada
Antes da pólvora, da roda e do jornal
A mulher passou a ser culpada
Pelos deslizes do pecado original
Guardiã de todas as virtudes
Santas e megeras, pecadoras e donzelas
Filhas de Maria
Ou deusas lá de Hollywood
São irmãs porque a mãe Natureza
Fez todas tão belas
Oh! mãe, oh! mãe
Nossa mãe, abre o teu colo generoso
Parir, gerar, criar e provar
Nosso destino valoroso
São donas-de-casa
Professoras, bailarinas
Moças operárias, prostitutas meninas
Lá do breu das brumas
Vem chegando a bandeira
Saúda o povo e pede passagem
A mulher brasileira
Lyrics translation
At the time when the Apple was invented
Before the gunpowder, the wheel and the newspaper
The woman went on to be guilty
By the glides of original Sin
Guardian of all virtues
Saints and maidens, sinners and maidens
Daughters of Mary
Or goddesses there from Hollywood
Are sisters because Mother Nature
Made all so beautiful
Oh! mom, oh! mother
Our mother, open your generous lap
Give birth, generate, create and prove
Our valuable destination
They're Housewives.
Teachers, dancers
Working girls, prostitutes girls
There from the pitch of the mists
Coming the flag
Salutes the people and asks for passage
The Brazilian woman
