Full lyrics
Antigamente
A mulher era mulher
A companheira
Que nos deu o criador
Lar era só felicidade
Era só tranqüilidade
Era paz e era amor
Mulher tinha medo de barata
Corava com piadas de salão
Mulher era assim muito sensata
Mulher não dizia palavrão
Mulher desmaiava todo dia
Um susto afetava o coração
Mulher não mandava só pedia
Marido era marido e patrão
Mulher de hoje
É mulher muito danada
Se é solteira ou casada
É a vida, vai lutar
Se é casada com um cabra mole
Que não anda nem se bole
Ela vai se desdobrar
E às vezes, elas têm
Amor para dar
Às vezes ela vêem
As coisas complicar, porque
Mulher de hoje
Com a arma é atrevida }bis
Translation
In the old days
The woman was a woman
The companion
That the creator gave us
Home was only happiness
It was only tranquility
It was peace and it was love
Woman was afraid of cockroaches
She blushed at parlor jokes
Woman was so sensible like that
Woman didn't say swear words
Woman fainted every day
A fright affected her heart
Woman didn't order, she only asked
Husband was husband and boss
Today's woman
Is a very feisty woman
If she's single or married
That's life, she will fight
If she's married to a weak cabra
Who doesn't move or stir
She will unfold herself
And sometimes, they have
Love to give
Sometimes she sees
Things get complicated, because
Today's woman
With the weapon is daring }bis
