Mulheres de Atenas [English translation]

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They live for their husband

Pride and race of Athens

When they are beloved, they perfume themselves

They bathe in milk, they beautify

Their melena

When they are afflicted, they don't cry

They kneel, ask and beg for

Harder punishments, chains

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They suffer for their husbands

Power and strength of Athens

When they embark as soldier

They weave long fabrics

Thousands of quarantines

And when they return, so thirsty

They want to take them in violence

Full and obscene caresses

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They strip off for their husbands

Brave warrior from Athens

When they get drunk in wine

They want to get the caress

Of other women

But in the end of the night, so broken

They almost always return to the arms

Of their small Helens

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They generate for their husbands

The new children of Athens

They have no taste and no will

No flaw, no quality

They only have fear

They don't have dream, they only have omens

Their men, seas, shipwrecks

Beautiful mermaids, brunettes

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They fear for their husbands

Heroes and lovers of Athens

Young marked widows

And pregnants left behind

Don't scandalize

They wear in black, they cringe

They conform, they retire

To their calm prayers

Take as an example

Those Athenian women

They dry for their husbands

Pride and race of Athens
